New Year’s Day is always a special day after New Year’s Eve, and there is always a very special television show: the 2026 Rose Parade!
This year, the 2026 Pasadena Tournament of Roses announced that the theme is “The Magic in Teamwork.”
The Tournament of Roses says the theme “celebrates a sense of accomplishment knowing that by working together, we can achieve richer results than we ever could as individuals.”
We’ve put together a list of all the floats and displays, as well as a list of the famous singers and marching bands you’ll see during the event!
The Parade airs on NBC and ABC this year, and starts at 11am ET. It works for two hours!
Following the Rose Parade, the actual Rose Bowl Game will air at 4pm ET on ESPN between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Make sure you open it!
