Carrie Underwood Reveals ‘American Idol’ Exciting Premiere Date
Carrie Underwood joined the judges on American Idol for the upcoming season. This week, she joined them in a special video to reveal when the new season was going to premiere. Underwood, along with Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Ryan Seacrest, were on hand to reveal the big news.
Here is what you need to know about the new American Idol season.
When Does American Idol Premiere This Season?
Carrie Underwood joined Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Ryan Seacrest to unveil the new premiere date for American Idol (via Instagram). The video started with Carrie talking, and Ryan ducking into the background of the video. It then moved to Luke, on her left, and Lionel on the right. Finally, Ryan said something, and Carrie finished off the announcement.
The main gist is that American Idol will premiere Season 23 on March 9, 2025. This means there is just under four months before fans can see Carrie Underwood joining the cast of the show for the first judging change since it returned to ABC.
Carrie, Lionel, and Luke had spent the last few weeks filming the audition rounds and handing out the tickets to Hollywood. Soon, it will come time to film the Hollywood episodes as they dwindle the contestants down before the live episodes start. Based on the start date, expect the live episodes to begin in mid-April 2025.
What To Expect From Ameican Idol Season 23
Fox canceled American Idol in 2016 after its 15th season. However, ABC picked it up after a one-year break, and it returned in 2018 for its 16th season. That featured Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie as the new judges, while Ryan Seacrest remained as the host.

Nothing changed since then until this next season. Those three judges worked together from Season 16 through Season 22. The only reason that things finally changed after five years and seven seasons is that Katy Perry wanted to make a new album and go on tour.
As a result, American Idol brought in Carrie Underwood. She won American Idol in Season 4 and has become the best-selling musical artist to ever come out of the show. Now, she has a chance to help find the next Idol winner.
American Idol Season 23 premieres on March 9, 2025, on ABC. This is the latest that the show has premiered in any year since 2019. It also means the show will go into June before the finale.
