Yes, Jimmy Kimmel Live! can be watched live online through several streaming services that include ABC in their channel lineup. Options to watch live include Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV, and Fubo, all of which offer ABC access as part of their packages. These services often provide free trial periods for new subscribers to watch the show without cost initially. However, there is a notable exception in some local markets: About 25% of ABC affiliates owned by companies like Nexstar and Sinclair are not airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! due to disagreements with the host's comments, meaning viewers in those regions might not be able to watch the live broadcast on traditional or streaming platforms that rely on local ABC channels. Using a VPN to bypass these restrictions could work but may violate streaming service terms. For viewers who cannot watch live or prefer not to subscribe to streaming services, episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live! are typically available on Hulu and Disney+ the day after airing. Additionally, many segments, including monologues and interviews, are uploaded to Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s official YouTube channel. In summary:
- Live watching is available via Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV, and Fubo with ABC included.
- Some local ABC affiliates do not air the show live due to political disputes.
- Episodes post-live air are available on Hulu, Disney+, and the show's YouTube channel for free viewing.
