No. Any single solar eclipse is visible to no more than20% of the Earth's surface. Of this area, the area of total eclipse (if any) is much smaller, about 1/1000th the area of partial eclipse.
Any solar eclipse will only be visible to one hemisphere (the one in daylight), and to less than one-quarter of that hemisphere (due to the tilt of the Earth). It is limited in size to the area of the shadow cast by the Moon, as that shadow moves across the spinning Earth. The Moon will not change its position appreciably during the eclipse. Due to variations in the Moon's orbital position, some eclipses may be visible to less than 1% of the globe.
The maximum duration of the shadow's crossing is about 5 hours. For any given location, the time any partial shadow lasts is about 2 hours. A total eclipse will have a maximum period of totality of from 1 to 7.5 minutes at any location. (For the August 21, 2017 total eclipse in the US, maximum duration of totality = 2 minutes, 40 seconds.)
