American Idol is an American singing competition television series created by Simon Fuller; it is produced by Fremantle and 19 Entertainment. It began airing on Fox in the United States on June 11, 2002, and ended on April 7, 2016. The series moved to ABC with its sixteenth season which debuted on March 11, 2018. It started off as an addition to the Idols format based on the British series Pop Idol, and became one of the most successful shows in the history of American television. The concept of the series involves discovering recording stars from unsigned singing talents, with the winner determined by the viewers in America through telephones, Internet, and SMS text voting.

As of April 14, 2025,[update] 712 episodes of American Idol have aired.
