how can i watch the rose parade

You can watch the Rose Parade this year either on traditional TV (major broadcast networks), through several free and paid streaming apps, or via the official online livestream that stays available on demand for a limited time after New Year’s Day.

TV channels

Most people in the U.S. can just turn on regular TV to watch the full parade live. Typical carriers include:

  • ABC , with national coverage of the 137th Rose Parade presented by Honda.
  • NBC , CNN , and Fox often carry live parade coverage as part of New Year’s programming.
  • Spanish-language options such as Telemundo and Univision are listed as carrying the parade live nationwide.

Official livestream

There is an official Rose Parade livestream that shows the entire parade, float by float, start to finish.

  • The livestream starts at 8 a.m. PST on New Year’s Day and is scheduled to remain available on demand through about mid‑January on most platforms, and up to a year on some.
  • The official stream is presented by Honda and emphasizes full, uninterrupted coverage of all parade units along the 5.5‑mile route.

Free streaming apps and platforms

If you do not have cable or antenna TV, you can use free streaming channels that are carrying the Rose Parade.

  • The parade is being streamed on platforms such as Pluto TV , Samsung TV Plus , and other free, ad‑supported services listed by the organizers.
  • Some local outlets (for example, a Los Angeles station) also stream their coverage free via their website, app, or YouTube channel.

Paid or bundled streaming options

If you already subscribe to a live TV streaming bundle, you can likely watch on one of the major networks included in your plan.

  • Services that carry ABC, NBC, or Fox in your area will typically include the Rose Parade as part of their live channel lineup.
  • The parade is also carried on Fubo Sports Network , which is reachable inside the Fubo ecosystem and several partner apps, sometimes even in free tiers.

Local in‑person and hybrid viewing

If you are near Pasadena and want to be there in person, you can still use broadcasts or streaming for a “hybrid” experience.

  • Local stations provide pre‑show coverage and full parade broadcasts that you can watch later even if you attend live.
  • Parade guides recommend checking local transit, parking, and “know before you go” instructions if you plan to see the floats on the street and then catch replays or streams afterward.
