Yes, you can watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Hulu, but how you watch it depends on whether you want it live or on-demand.

Quick Scoop

  • New episodes air weeknights on ABC at 11:35 p.m. ET, then show up on Hulu the next day as on‑demand episodes.
  • If you have Hulu + Live TV , you can watch it live on the ABC channel and still watch episodes on demand afterward.
  • Recent updates: after a brief suspension in 2025 tied to controversy over Jimmy Kimmel’s comments, the show returned, and next‑day streaming on Hulu (and Disney+) continues.
  • In some U.S. areas where ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair or Nexstar preempt the show, streaming (like Hulu on‑demand) is often the most reliable way to see full episodes.

Where exactly on Hulu?

Think of Hulu as having two “paths” to the show:

  1. Regular Hulu (on‑demand only)
    • You can go to the Jimmy Kimmel Live show page and stream episodes after they air on ABC.
 * Episodes typically appear the **day after broadcast** , not simultaneously with the TV airing.
  1. Hulu + Live TV (live + on‑demand)
    • Lets you watch ABC’s live feed (so you see Jimmy Kimmel Live! exactly at 11:35 p.m. ET, assuming ABC is available in your area).
 * Also includes access to Hulu’s regular on‑demand library, so you can catch up later if you miss it.

A simple example: if you come home late on a Tuesday, you can skip the live airing and just open Hulu on Wednesday to stream Monday night’s episode on demand.

Other ways people are watching

While your main question is about Hulu, it helps to see the bigger picture because some viewers mix services.

  • Other live TV streamers
    • YouTube TV, fuboTV, DIRECTV STREAM, Sling TV, and similar services also carry ABC in many markets, letting you watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! live.
  • Disney+
    • New episodes also show up on Disney+ the day after airing, similar to Hulu.
  • YouTube channel (clips only)
    • The show’s official YouTube channel posts monologues and interview segments for free, but not always full episodes.

Availability issues and workarounds

The slightly messy part is local ABC access:

  • In regions where ABC stations owned by Sinclair or Nexstar have chosen not to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his controversial comments, viewers can’t rely on local broadcast or even some live‑TV apps for the show.
  • Some people talk about using VPNs to trick services into thinking they’re in a different location, but that usually violates streaming platforms’ terms of service and can trigger error messages or account limits.

In practice, for many viewers in 2025–2026, next‑day streaming on Hulu or Disney+ has become the safest, least‑hassle way to keep up with the show , regardless of what local stations decide.
