Judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan are back behind that famous panel for a new season of American Idol - the show that has unearthed superstar talent like Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson in previous years. Who will be the nation’s next singing sensation? The search is underway, and we're here to tell you how to watch American Idol 2021 from wherever you are in the world today.
If you have cable you can enjoy the latest episode of American Idol on ABC from 8pm ET/PT or 7pm CT every Sunday from February 14.
ABC has an online platform where you can watch live episodes or re-watch previous instalments from the current season, but you may need to enter your cable provider details first.
Alternatively, you can get ABC without the commitment (or cost) of cable by using an OTT streaming service.
Of the many options, FuboTV stands out as one of the few to offer ABC as part of its line-up - priced from $64.99 a month, it's a complete cable replacement service and you can try a FREE FuboTV trial first to see if it meets your needs.
If you're abroad right now and unable to access the streaming services you normally use, there's a reason for this: geo-blocking, a common digital annoyance that means certain content can only be viewed in certain parts of the world.
Luckily, there’s an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to stream shows like American Idol online anywhere. It's a simple bit of software that changes your IP address, meaning that you can access on-demand content or live TV just as if you were at home.

Fans in Canada are in luck, too, as Citytv is airing new episodes of American Idol 2021 on Sundays, at the same time they go out in the US - that's 8pm ET/PT.
If you miss a live broadcast, you can catch new episodes for FREE on Citytv’s online platform a day after they air... but you'll need to enter your TV provider details first.
There's no word yet on when the new series of American Idol will hit UK screen - so for now you'll have to make do with the American Idol 2020 Collection that's currently available to stream on Netflix.
However, anyone from North America who's in the UK right now should remember they can tap into their local TV coverage and watch American Idol live by using a VPN.
Sorry, Aussie mates - Foxtel dropped the rights to air the popular talent show Down Under after season 17, and we don't know of any way to watch American Idol in Australia live.
The exception is anyone currently in Australia from abroad. If that's you and you've travelled from a country you can watch American Idol 2021 online, then working some VPN magic as discussed above will let you watch the show like you normally would at home.
