Ceremony partner KMBC will broadcast the event live beginning at 7:00 p.m. with KMBC 9 News Anchor Lara Moritz as host. The event starts at 6:30 p.m., with hours adjusted to accommodate the Kansas City Chiefs game that afternoon. As part of the excitement leading up to the global celebration in 2026, Country Club Plaza, in partnership with KC2026, will unveil its official Countdown Clock.
