How To Install Kodi 20.1 On Firestick & Fire TV

This in-depth guide will show you how to install Kodi on Firestick quickly.  The same process will also work for the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV, and Fire TV Televisions.

Stream Radar recommends using the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max due to its low price yet powerful system.

Kodi is one of the most popular apps to install on a Fire TV Stick due to its numerous free addons and Builds.  The addons and builds provide endless free entertainment with movies, TV shows, music, and games.  More on the addons and builds after we get Kodi installed.

Kodi isn’t available through the Amazon App Store so we must side-load it with a free application called Downloader.  This sounds like a complicated process but it’s not.

There are three popular Kodi releases currently available, Kodi 20.1 Nexus, Kodi 19.5 Matrix, and Kodi 18.9 Leia.

The video tutorial and screenshot guide below will provide you with instructions on how to install whichever version of Kodi you would like.

This page is continually updated and will always provide relevant guides with the most recent stable release of Kodi as well as past releases as well.

As of today, Kodi 20.1 Nexus is the stable version.

Below, you will find a screenshot guide that summarizes the detailed steps outlined in the video above.  We strongly suggest that you watch the video above prior to using the picture guide below.
