American Idol 2020 start time, channel

The American Idol 2020 finale starts at 8 p.m. Eastern today (Sunday, May 17) on ABC.

When we watch American Idol 2020 online tonight, we will witness the first-ever remote finale in the reality singing competition's history. This American Idol 2020 finale should be a memorable one, if only for its unique format. 

American Idol 2020 was forced to adapt the competition after the pandemic shut down Hollywood film and TV productions. Idol has aired remotely since late April, with contestants and judges filming from home. Performances were taped in advance, but the judges' reactions and voting results aired live. 

The American Idol 2020 finale will start with the Top 7 contestants: Julia Gargano, Arthur Gunn, Dillon James, Just Sam, Louis Knight, Francisco Martin and Jonny West. Two of then will be eliminated based on last week's vote. 

The Top 5 will perform two songs — the first will celebrate making it to celebrate making it to the last round and the second will be a song they previously performed this season. Real-time voting during the live East Coast broadcast will determine the show's results. Then, the American Idol 2020 winner will debut their new official single. 

The finale will also feature performances from judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as well as top musical artists including Oscar-nominated singer and actress Cynthia Erivo. She'll cover Aretha Franklin hits with this year's Top 11. Grammy winner Lauren Daigle will present her hit "You Say" alongside the Top 5, and The Rascal Flatts and Doug Kiker will team up to perform "Bless The Broken Road.

Bryan and Perry will each sing their respective singles "One Margarita" and "Daisies." Meanwhile, Richie is performing "We Are The World" for the first time on TV in 35 years with the help of his fellow judges and Idol alums Alejandro Aranda (aka Scarypoolparty), Gabby Barrett, Jordin Sparks, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Laine Hardy, Lauren Alaina, Phillip Phillips, Ruben Studdard, and Scotty McCreery.
