Scientology New Year 2026: 6,500 Guests and a Global 2025 Year-in-Review

A year-end crowd of more than 6,500 guests packed Los Angeles’ historic Shrine Auditorium for Scientology’s New Year 2026 celebration—an evening that paired live performances with a headline presentation tracking developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.

Not just a midnight celebration, the programme spotlighted the year’s most visible themes: growth in digital access and online courses, new facilities and planning for future openings, and the opening of sites Scientology linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also touched on drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) presented as community engagement in multiple regions.

For European readers, the story offers a clear window into how a global religious movement frames its year—and why developments in digital access, facilities and community programmes are watched well beyond the United States.
