Looking to celebrate the New Year the country way? Nashville is throwing a big bash and you’re cordially invited.

CBS is bringing the fireworks and New Year’s cheer to TV screens everywhere with New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. The show is set to air live on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT, 10:30 PM-1:30 AM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network. Comedian and actor Bert Kreischer and country music star HARDY will be hosting the event, partying hard with musical guests like Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman, and special guests CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

“You hear people say, ‘I’m honored and privileged to be working with a certain group of people,’ but in this case, I am blown away that I’m allowed to work with these people. This lineup is insane,” said Kreischer in a Paramount+ press release. “This event, which I was a very small part of last year, is so much fun. To be working with my buddy HARDY … it feels like I should be paying CBS to do this. I can’t wait. I hope I keep my shirt on, and I promise not to drink until the stroke of midnight, unless you want me to drink earlier.”

If you’re looking to celebrate the Nashville way, we’ll be showing you how to watch the Big Bash live for free in the comfort of your own home. Keep reading to find out more.

If you’re looking to watch the New Year’s Eve special through CBS, consider DIRECTV. All of DIRECTV‘s packages include access to CBS. However, we’d suggest the ENTERTAINMENT package. This package is currently on sale for $49.99 a month, down from $89.99 a month. This package is for those looking to tap into a slew of entertainment-based channels. If you’re unsure about committing to a new subscription, you can simply try the service out for free for five days, which will give you plenty of time to watch the two-hour special before canceling your subscription.

With a subscription, users will gain access to live TV, local networks such as NBC, ABC and PBS, and you can also watch various entertainment networks, including AMC, Bravo, E!, FX, FXX, Freeform, HGTV, Hallmark Channel, Lifetime and Paramount Network. That’s more than 90-plus channels that you can tap into with the touch of a button.

Another way to watch the special via CBS is on Fubo, which has a weeklong free trial available here. Fubo’s package includes a free DVR so you record the broadcast to watch all the performances back on-demand. Continue with one of Fubo’s streaming deals or cancel before your free trial is up to avoid being charged. See details here.

You can also watch the event live via Paramount+’s Premium plan which includes CBS. A no-ads plan will run you $12.99 a month. The streaming service offers a seven-day free trial, which should give you plenty of time to watch the special without interruption. If you do happen to keep your subscription, which we highly recommend, you’ll have access to a vast library of more than 40,000+ ad-free episodes and movies, including music-themed hits such as Love & Hip Hop: Miami, School of Rock, Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza and much more. Paramount+ Premium plan holders will also be able to stream the service on three devices at once, gain access to SHOWTIME® Originals, download movies and shows and Stream CBS live, with more sports and events.
