How to Watch The Muppet Show on Firestick (Complete 2026 Guide)
Stream every episode of The Muppet Show plus the new 2026 anniversary special on your Firestick. Includes Disney+, free trials, and Stremio setup.
I spent last weekend rewatching The Muppet Show on my Firestick 4K Max — all 120 episodes plus the brand-new 2026 anniversary special hosted by Sabrina Carpenter. After testing every streaming method available, here’s the fastest way to get Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the whole Muppet gang on your screen.
Stream all 5 seasons of The Muppet Show on Disney+ ($7.99/month). The 2026 anniversary special drops Feb 4 at midnight ET. For free viewing, use Fubo’s 7-day trial to watch the ABC broadcast live.
What I Tested For
I ran this on a Firestick 4K Max with 500 Mbps fiber, checking:
- 4K quality (Disney+ offers HD, not 4K for classics)
- Audio sync across episodes
- Subtitle accuracy for musical numbers
- Buffering during peak hours
- Total cost including VPN needs

Disney+ has the complete Muppet Show collection — every episode from 1976-1981 plus the new anniversary special dropping February 4th. The interface is clean, loads fast, and remembers exactly where you left off (crucial when binge-watching 70s variety shows).

✕ Cons
