American Idol 2025: Full Season 23 Schedule (Keep watching for updates!)
The American Idol season 23 auditions will wrap up on Sunday March 30, while Hollywood Week kicks off on the first Monday episode of the season, Monday March 31.
American Idol got a later start than usual, beginning in March rather than mid-February. The result might mean one less week of shows. But ABC/Disney could make up for the delay with extra Monday shows. The full schedule below will most likely change as new information becomes available, so make sure to bookmark the page.
Season 23 of American Idol continues on ABC as season 4 winner Carrie Underwood fills in for the departing Katy Perry next to veteran judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. Ryan Seacrest hosts. The judges auditioned hopefuls in Los Angeles, Nashville and New York City.
After the Hollywood Round, where Jelly Roll joined the show as its first ever “Artist in Residence, a Top 24 travelled to Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii to perform for America’s Vote (SPOILERS!). Ashanti and Josh Groban mentored the contestants.
