This can be achieved using `Cesium.SkyBox`: [SkyBox - Cesium Documentation](https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/SkyBox.html)

Pass it into the `Cesium.Viewer` like this: [Replacing the background sky image in cesium app. - #2 by sean\_lilley](https://community.cesium.com/t/replacing-the-background-sky-image-in-cesium-app/5776/2)
