This yearSpring Festival GalaWorth watching
Every year before the Spring Festival Gala, people say, "I'm not watching it, I'm not watching it," but on New Year's Eve, they still turn on the TV or their phones. Judging from the currently released program list, the 2026 Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala definitely has several programs worth watching. Especially...Shen TengMa LiThe skit "Chess Village A" showcases the chemistry between this golden duo, which never disappoints. However, for overseas viewers, there's a network barrier separating "wanting to watch" from "being able to watch."
The program schedule has been released; here are a few key points:
- Shen Teng and Ma Li's "Chess Village A" is the sixth program and is the most anticipated of the year. From "To Help or Not to Help" to "Catering to Tastes," almost every work by these two has become a hit. It's a major highlight of the first half of the year, so you don't have to stay up too late to watch it.
- Zhou Shen has two songs this yearThese are "Nostalgia for Yichun" and "The Soul of Nüshu" co-starring with Janine Chang, respectively, and their screen presence is comparable to that of a workaholic.
- Jackie Chan + G.E.M. + Cheng Xiao"Flower Bay" is ranked 30th, belonging to the climax of the second half.
- Li GuyiContinuing with "Unforgettable Tonight" as the grand finale, this tradition cannot be abandoned.
Get straight to the point:Regional Restrictions.
The Spring Festival Gala live streams on platforms like CCTV Video, Bilibili, and iQiyi all restrict access to overseas IP addresses. Overseas students and Chinese people trying to access them directly will likely see a message saying "Only for Mainland China," or they may be able to access the stream but experience buffering issues like a slideshow or a drop in video quality to 480p.
Another question isLive broadcast delayWithout using a VPN to access content from China, overseas viewers might see the video tens of seconds or even minutes slower than those in China. While your friends back home are already commenting "Haha, Shen Teng is so funny!" in group chats, you're still watching the previous show. This is a terrible experience.

Why say "immediately" to go home?
2026 is the Year of the Horse, and the word "immediately" will be overused this year. But for overseas Chinese and international students, "immediately going home" is truly a luxury. Expensive airfares, short holidays, complicated visa processes... physically going home is too difficult.
Turn on the Spring Festival Gala live stream, hear the familiar opening music, see Shen Teng and Ma Li cracking jokes on stage, and watch the barrage of Chinese-language comments—at that moment, you feel like you're not so far away.
