Share this @internewscast.com

By the end of the night, there will be a new American Idol.

After an emotional Mother’s Day celebration and two evenings filled with Disney enchantment, the competition is now down to three finalists. One of them will be declared the winner during tonight’s finale.

The star-studded three-hour episode will see the Top 3 perform with music legends and top stars, per an ABC release.

Even though the 23rd season concludes tonight, there’s good news; American Idol is set to return for its 24th season next year. Auditions for the upcoming season have already commenced.

Is American Idol On Tonight?

Yes! A new episode of American Idol airs tonight, May 18, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT only on ABC. The episode will air live coast-to-coast.

How to Watch American Idol for Free:

To catch American Idol live without cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service, especially one offering a free trial. We suggest DIRECTV, which offers ABC in its basic package and provides a five-day free trial.

fuboTV is another great free option that’s also offering great savings on the first month — $20 off, to be exact, after a seven-day free trial.

Is American Idol on Hulu?

American Idol does not stream live on Hulu, but subscribers will be able to watch tonight’s episode on Hulu beginning tomorrow morning.

It’s the most cost-effective way to tune in to American Idol if you’re fine not watching it live.

American Idol Top 3:

These three contestants survived both halves of Disney Night to make it to American Idol‘s Season 23 grand finale.

  • Breanna Nix
