New Year’s Eve in Nashville for the 2025–2026 countdown is being hosted by comedian and actor Bert Kreischer and country music star HARDY for the TV special “New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.”

Main hosts

  • The official televised Nashville NYE event, “New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash” on CBS/Paramount+ , lists Bert Kreischer and HARDY as the primary hosts leading the night’s coverage and performances.
  • The special is staged from Nashville’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park and runs as a multi-hour live broadcast ringing in 2026.

Extra faces you’ll see

  • In addition to the main hosts, the broadcast and associated parties feature on-air personalities and guests like Cassie DiLaura, Buzz Brainard, Dustin Lynch, Kayla Harrison, Cody Alan and Caylee Hammack in various segments or watch parties.
  • Local NYE watch parties around Nashville (such as Category 10’s official Big Bash watch event) lean on these guests and performers, but the primary “hosting” of the overall Nashville NYE TV event is still handled by Kreischer and HARDY.
