When Does 'American Idol' Come on Hulu, Because We Need to Know!

Fact: We all try our very best to catch new episodes of American Idol live.

The reality singing show airs on Sunday and Monday nights at 8 p.m. EST on ABC and let's face it — this is a very busy time of day for most of us.

So let's say the worst happens and you miss the live shows. The good news is that there's another way to view the episodes. American Idol also streams on Hulu.

Read on for details of when.

It has been an exciting season of American Idol. Season 22 has seen incredible talent and famous guest mentors, like Gene Simmons, who make us want to tune in live.

But for fans who either miss a Sunday or Monday night show, want to see an episode again, or have a scheduling conflict with too many shows they're trying to watch, Hulu is here to save the day!

Indeed, fans can stream new episodes of American Idol on the platform the next day following their premiere, which is pretty standard. For example, NBC shows are typically available to stream on Peacock the next day.

The Hulu connection makes sense when you consider that Disney owns ABC (and a million other things), and Disney Plus and Hulu recently merged to form one streaming service.

So, now you can bundle Disney Plus and Hulu together and pay one monthly fee, getting all of the content you love from both platforms in one place.

Now, the only thing left to do is to avoid any spoilers for how the performances went, or who got voted out, until you can stream American Idol on Hulu the next day!
