Streaming American Idol on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon

Netflix does not have American Idol. Though we are not surprised since Netflix does not have much of ABC’s content apart from a few very old shows.

Hulu, on the other hand, does have old and new seasons of American Idol available for streaming. However, the only drawback is it’s not streamed live.

Amazon Prime has American Idol on DVD and Blue-ray, but there is no way to download the episodes to your computer. That said if you’re interested in listening to songs from the show you’ll find those available for download in .mp3 format.

Other Methods of Streaming American Idol for Free

We are aware of the multitude of websites that stream American Idol live though the quality is not exactly good and you get bombarded by a load of spyware and pop-ups. Then again it is free but also illegal. So, if you get caught streaming American Idol for free, and it’s not at a local bar then be prepared to pay a fine that’s way higher than what a cord-cutting service would have cost you for even the whole year!
