The three-hour season finale of American Idol is set to kick off live on ABC Sunday, May 21 at 8/7c.

This season’s final three have come down to Iam Tongi, Megan Danielle, and Colin Stough, one of which will be crowned by the end of the show.

The season 21 finale will include appearances from an array of special guests including the return of former American Idol judge Keith Urban along with season two winner Ruben Studdard and runner-up Clay Aiken, according to reports from Billboard.

How do I watch American Idol without cable?

Those without regular cable still live stream the season 21 finale with FuboTV or DirecTV Stream.

Both live streaming services offer free trials for first time subscribers so you can watch for free before committing to anything.

However, the season finale of American Idol will be available to stream the following day with Hulu.

What is the difference between FuboTV and DirecTV Stream?

Both FuboTV and DirecTV Stream are meant for those looking for an alternative to a regular cable subscription.

FuboTV considers itself a sports-focused streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live channels for $74.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.
