China Media Group (CMG) just dropped all the deets about this year’s Spring Festival Gala – and it’s shaping up to be a cultural fireworks show! 🎇 With 12 days to go until the February 16 broadcast, the 2026 edition promises AI-powered visuals, robo-dancers, and a star-studded host lineup ready to light up screens worldwide.
What’s Popping This Year?
Hosts Ren Luyu, Sa Beining, and crew will helm the Beijing main stage, while AI-generated imagery transforms performances into mind-blowing spectacles. 🤯 Think thousand-horse holograms galloping across your TV! Plus, humanoid robots are back with upgraded dance moves – move over, TikTok challenges!
Global Collabs & Barrier-Free Access
This isn’t just China’s party – artists from around the world will jam through cross-cultural music/dance fusions. 🌍 And in a first, CCTV-15’s accessible broadcast features sign language hosts and AI captions, because everyone deserves front-row seats to the fun.
How to Watch
Mark your calendars for 8 PM on Feb 16! Stream it in 8K, catch it on CGTN’s 5 language channels, or vibe with 3,300+ global media partners. Pro tip: Charge your phone – those AIGC effects will drain your battery faster than a viral reel.
