How to Install Kodi on Firestick (Step-By-Step Guide)

Amazon’s Firestick App Store does not feature the Kodi App. So you can not download it officially. However, since Firestick devices use Android forks, it is possible to sideload Kodi. 

You must first jailbreak Firestick first to bypass third-party app restrictions. Then, with the help of the downloader tool, you can install Kodi and set it up. In this article, we have also compiled a complete guide to install Kodi add-ons on Firestick.

Before You Begin

Here’re a few important things you need to consider before installing Kodi on your Firestick:

  • While installing Kodi on your Firestick is completely legal, accessing any pirated content on Kodi is illegal. You can use a reliable VPN to be on the safe side. However, we do not encourage watching pirated content on Kodi.
  • Once you jailbreak Firestick, it will be more vulnerable to viruses and hackers.
  • While jailbreaking you should avoid third-party tools that could tamper the default firmware of your Firestick. It can void your device’s warranty.
