An estimated one million people are expected to pack into New York’s Times Square on Sunday, as the Big Apple once again takes centre stage in the United States’ New Year’s Eve celebrations.

With millions more watching on TV and online nationwide, the iconic New Year’s Eve ball will begin its descent from the flagpole atop the One Times Square building at 11:59pm ET, marking out the final minute of 2023. Once the ball has dropped, a giant ‘2024′ sign will be illuminated, heralding the beginning of the New Year.

What time does the New York New Year’s Eve countdown start?

The festivities in Times Square are scheduled to begin at 6pm ET, with a host of musical performances by major stars lined up throughout the evening.
