NBC has decided not to move forward with its planned Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve special.
Originally announced in May, the two-hour live broadcast was scheduled to air from Miami on December 31 and promised “a night packed with unforgettable music, iconic performances and surprise artist collaborations.”
“Sometimes the calendar gets in the way of the celebration, which is why my NBC family and I decided this winter was time for us all to focus on the Olympics,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement to Deadline.
“But don’t worry, we’ll party together bigger and better later in 2026. Ya dig.”
NBCUniversal revealed in September that Snoop Dogg, who became one of the breakout personalities of the Paris Summer Olympics coverage, will return for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
Alongside his Olympics role, Snoop Dogg is currently serving his second term as a coach on The Voice on NBC.
It has not yet been confirmed what will take the place of Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve special in the network’s holiday lineup.
In the meantime, viewers in the United States will still be able to tune in to Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest on ABC, which has long been the dominant show of the night, or CBS’s country-themed New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.
