KODI: the best add-ons for films, TV and much more (February 2025)

In this guide, you’ll find an up-to-date list of the best Kodi add-ons available in 2025. Enjoy endless FREE entertainment.

Our aim is to provide you with the most popular and functional options that are sure to meet your streaming needs.

Kodi is one of the most widely used media applications today, with millions of people installing and accessing it to watch free content without having to pay for a subscription.

Users can enjoy Kodi in various ways, usually by installing a Kodi Build or a Kodi Add-on that are pre-programmed to serve multimedia content such as films, programmes, live TV, sport and much more.

Verified add-ons are provided by Kodi developers, which can be installed via the official Kodi repository and are safe and legal, but often limited in terms of content.

However, there are also third-party add-ons that have been developed independently but provide access to a wider variety of content. These are much more popular, but they carry security risks and legal issues, so you should use them at your own risk.

To access an add-on, you must first install Kodi on your preferred device. We tested all these add-ons on an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, but Kodi is compatible with all Fire TV devices, Android/Google TV boxes, Windows PCs, Macs, mobile phones, tablets, Linux and much more.

The add-ons listed below are what we consider to be ‘must-haves’ for anyone getting started with this technology.

We’ve done the research for you and thoroughly tested all the Kodi add-ons on offer so that you know you’re getting the best options.

Bear in mind that you can install as many or as few add-ons as you like, so if you’re just looking to watch Video on Demand (VOD) or live TV, you may only need a few of these options!

Most of the options below are “premium” add-ons that must be combined with a resolution service such as Real-Debrid or Premiumize to stream content.

We’ve also listed a few “free” add-ons that don’t require one of these premium services, but you’re likely to encounter buffering and limited streaming links.

1. Elementum

The best Kodi add-on available today is Elementum, offering exclusive entertainment options that play in ultra-high definition, including 1080p and 4K.

Anyone looking for a high-performance add-on that streams content without buffering will want to try Elementum. Build users wishing to unleash the power of Elementum can do so on Diggz Burst, and we highly recommend checking it out!

It uses torrent links, which means that part of the file will be downloaded before playback, so users won’t experience any buffering or lag.

This is perfect for those who do not have a RealDebrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize account, as it is a “free media” add-on.

However, it is important to note that because Elementum plays torrent links, a VPN is required to ensure your IP address is not made publicly available.

2. The Crew

The Crew has stood the test of time. It continues to be the best Kodi add-on option, especially for beginners looking for quick access to the best entertainment in one place.

The Crew is an all-in-one (AIO) Kodi add-on offering more than just TV series and films. It also features a range of streaming options for sports, live TV and family-friendly content, all of which are of high quality.

Although users have the option to find free links, The Crew works best when a debrid service is integrated, which is a recurring theme amongst most of the popular options listed below.

Whether you’re new to Kodi software or a long-time user, this add-on has everything you need for an all-inclusive media experience that you won’t want to miss.

Give it a go!

3. Umbrella

Umbrella is currently the best premium add-on available. It is highly powerful, functional and extremely fast, which is why it has quickly become the latest and best premium option for films and TV shows.

What sets this option apart from the rest is the latest update, which allows users to add their preferred external source. We discuss this in more detail in our video guide below, and we strongly recommend you watch it.

Those using Premiumize or another cloud service will love Umbrella, as it has been designed around these types of platforms and provides an unrivalled streaming experience.

There are plenty of options for discovering on-demand content, and Umbrella even has YouTube built-in so you have all your favourite videos and content creators at your fingertips.

4. Daddy Live

Anyone looking for the simplest way to watch live TV channels (as well as sport) should give Daddylive a try. Best known for its free streaming website, Daddylive has also created a Kodi add-on that might work even better.

This is because the Kodi platform is completely ad-free, whereas most of these free streaming sites are usually crammed with unwanted adverts and pop-ups.

US users will find virtually every channel they need, but there are also options for global live streams. These streams play without buffering and are usually in HD quality.

Whilst many enjoy the live channels provided, users can also browse the sports options, which include almost every live sporting event and are updated daily, so you never miss your favourite teams.

Although watching VOD is the most popular use of this service, Daddylive makes it extremely easy to enjoy live TV and sport – a feature you won’t want to miss out on.

5. Pov

O que temos aqui é um clone ou “fork” da FEN, com grandes selecções, incluindo Anime, que normalmente não está disponível na maioria das opções a pedido.

Como esperado, tem de usar a sua fonte de resolução para aceder aos média, mas é aqui que o poder do POV se faz sentir, com opções de ligação que aparecem extremamente rápido.

O repositório de hospedagem, Kodifitzwell, tem sido um dos melhores repositórios para addons de alto nível e continua sua reputação com o POV. É apontado por muitos na comunidade como o addon mais utilizável disponível, e talvez tenhamos de concordar.

O programador está constantemente a melhorá-lo com novas funcionalidades, scrapers, e outras actualizações para que tenha sempre um desempenho de topo.

Nota final:

Como sempre recomendamos o uso de VPN.

A nossa escolhida continua a ser a PureVpn pois tem uma Politica de Zero Logs (não ficam com qualquer registo da nossa atividade online).
