Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on ABC and can be streamed through several live TV streaming services including DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV, all of which offer access to ABC channels in many regions. Hulu also provides episodes for streaming the day after they air. Clips and segments from the show are often uploaded to the official Jimmy Kimmel Live! YouTube channel after the broadcast. However, some ABC affiliates controlled by Nexstar and Sinclair media groups do not air the show or stream it live, so viewers in those markets may need to use live TV streaming services outside their usual local channel or access episodes the next day on Hulu or Disney+. Using a VPN might help bypass local restrictions but may violate streaming service terms. Summary of main streaming options and considerations:
