Kodi addons are always changing and evolving, working addons will eventually die and new ones will be born, it’s the circle of life for Kodi add-ons. Keeping up with this ever-changing landscape can sometimes be tricky and time-consuming.
That’s why we created a list of the Best Kodi add-ons containing popular streaming add-ons that we like and use regularly. This list is constantly updated, we hope you find it useful. Addons are listed in no particular order and we encourage you to try as many as you like.
IMPORTANT: (Apr 18, 2022) Three of our favorite add-ons The Oath, Venom, and Fen are no longer available. We’re adding new addons to the list, remember to check back periodically.
Best free Kodi add-ons
The following addons provide Free and Debrid sources.
When using free fonts, you should be aware that file hosting websites often limit the file size and bandwidth available to free users. For this reason, free sources are commonly used to stream SD and 720p videos, for higher quality streams use a Debrid service or a torrent add-on.
