Looking up at the sky is probably option No. 1 for viewing fireworks. But if, for some reason, you can’t watch them in person, you’re still in luck.
After all, the year is 2025, and everything is livestreamed. That’s right: You can watch fireworks from the comfort of your couch. You won’t even need to put down your hot dog.
Your best bet for streaming fireworks on July 4 is the iconic Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks special. The special will air from 8 p.m. ET through 10 p.m. ET. You can stream the show on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, or tune in to your local NBC station, which will also televise the fireworks.

Broadway’s Ariana DeBose is set to host the NBC program, which will feature musical guests Keke Palmer, Eric Church, Ava Max, the Jonas Brothers, Trisha Yearwood, and Lenny Kravitz.
If that isn’t your cup of tea — or if you don’t have access to NBC or Peacock — you can livestream PBS’s fireworks program free on YouTube. The show will start at 8 p.m. ET and will be hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, famous for playing Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
So this July 4, you can enjoy fireworks for free — and never leave your living room.
