where can i watch the mummers parade

February 24, 2026

You can watch the Mummers Parade either live in Philadelphia on Broad Street or on TV and streaming platforms that carry the official broadcast.

Most recent guides for the 2026 parade list these options:

Over-the-air and cable coverage on MeTV2 (WDPN-TV, often listed as Channel 2) and WFMZ-TV Channel 69.

These channels are typically available through major providers like Comcast, Fios, DirecTV, Dish, and regional cable systems, though exact channel numbers vary by location.

Check your local listings for MeTV2/WDPN or WFMZ to confirm the exact channel and start time on New Year’s Day.

If you do not have traditional cable, several legal streaming options usually carry the live parade broadcast.

Official livestreams have been listed on: WFMZ.com, WFMZPlus.com, Zeam.com, FrndlyTV.com, Newson.us, and LocalNow.com.

Mobile viewing is available through the WFMZ+ app on Apple and Android devices in most recent parade years.

Always confirm on New Year’s Eve or parade morning, since the exact streaming links or partners can change year to year.

If you are near Philadelphia, you can also watch the parade live along the route.

The parade typically starts at City Hall around 9 a.m. and goes south on Broad Street to Washington Avenue.

Good viewing spots include 17th & Market and along Broad Street at Sansom, Pine, and Carpenter Streets, with reserved bleacher seats available near the judging stand by City Hall for a fee.
