American Idol is back for the first time this Sunday. ABC's reboot of the august singing competition is giving a new batch of hopefuls the chance to pursue their dreams of stardom, with Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as their guides. You won't want to miss a moment, so here's how to watch.

The episodes can be watched live on ABC or streamed via Hulu with Live TV or PlayStation Vue (or ABC.com if you log in through your cable provider). If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

American Idol will air taped episodes that cover auditions and early rounds on Sundays and Mondays starting Sunday, March 11, and then move to airing just on Sundays starting April 22 with live episodes for the remainder of its run, with the two-part finale airing on Sunday, May 20 and Monday, May 21. Episodes will be two hours.

The auditions begin Sunday, March 11 at 8/7c on ABC.
