As you’re getting ready for the New Year and welcoming 2022 (while saying a well-earned goodbye to 2021), you’ll want to watch a countdown clock that counts all the way to midnight, no matter which time zone you’re in. These will come in handy as you’re celebrating New Year’s Eve and need a timer that tells you exactly when 2022 starts. Below is a roundup of countdown timers for New Year’s that you can use tonight.

It has countdowns for many locations including Los Angeles, Anchorage, London, Moscow, Melbourne, and more.

You can also watch the whole thing in the live stream below.

Many major broadcasting stations are also hosting New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square.
