Kodi 20.4 is now available as the stable release of Kodi. It is the final version before the platform updates to Kodi 21 Omega.

Kodi 20.3 was originally planned to be the final release before Omega. However, the development team had a few improvements to make before the next big step.

Provided below are all of the latest bug fixes, features, and changes which can be found in the official press release for Kodi 20.4. We also provide instructions to update Kodi on any device including Firestick, Android TV/Google TV, PC, & more.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Android users must sideload the latest version of Kodi as 20.4 is not available in the Google Play Store. We provide the fastest method for doing this below.

There are no major changes for the latest release. As always, if you are happy with your current version of Kodi, feel free to continue using it on your preferred device.

We have not yet tested Kodi 20.4 with all popular addons and builds. If you are having issues with your addon/build choice, let us know in the comment section below.
