This article ranks the best Kodi Builds in 2025 for streaming free movies, TV, live channels, sports, and more.
Kodi Builds are a pre-made package for Kodi designed to improve user experience while offering a more convenient way to access content.
These are typically filled with add-ons, integrations, custom skins, widgets, and other features added by third-party developers.
Builds also come packed with free movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, adult content, music, weather, and more.
In order to use a build you must first install Kodi on a compatible device. All of the builds mentioned in this guide have been tested on the Amazon Firestick, which is the most popular device for Kodi since it’s affordable and easy to unlock.
However, Kodi can be installed on any Android-powered device, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, and more.
Users can also integrate premium debrid services with builds such as Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, and Trakt for improved streaming quality.
Premiumize is a debrid service that costs around $10 per month and provides high-quality streaming links for better playback.
A Kodi build is the ultimate all-in-one solution for cord-cutters, offering a hassle-free way to get started without searching for individual add-ons.
Instead of installing separate add-ons for movies, TV shows, sports, and more, a build bundles everything together in one interface.
This setup not only saves time but also provides a visually appealing interface with pre-installed add-ons, skins, integrations, and settings tailored to your liking.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced user, a Kodi build simplifies the process and ensures you have access to a wide range of content right from the start.
Our reviews team at TROYPOINT ranked the best builds based on popularity, categories, content library, add-on quality, repository/wizard, integrations, size, speed, user interface, and feedback from streaming forums like Reddit.
Be sure to bookmark this page and check back on a regular basis for new Kodi build submissions provided by users in the TROYPOINT Insider.
All of the builds listed below are compatible with Kodi 21 Omega. Version “21.2 Omega” is the most stable release of the Kodi software.
Some also work on the previous versions (20 Nexus, 19 Matrix, and 18 Leia) and we have noted that accordingly.

We have ranked “Xenon” as the number one Kodi build for several reasons. This is a top choice among cord-cutters due to its collection of add-ons, futuristic interface, and content library.
It is located inside the Chef Wizard which houses other high-quality builds. One important distinction to note is the difference between the “Debrid” and “Free” versions of Xenon.
Using the Debrid version requires a debrid service (Real-Debrid for example) to stream content while Free does not require a debrid service. A debrid service will populate higher-quality streaming links but does come with an additional expense.
Recently, Diggz initiated a new update within the Wizard called AIO (All-In-One) that lets you scroll through their list of available build options and preview each one before making your selection.
This is yet another reason Diggz has set itself apart from all of the other options on this list and continues to provide Kodi users both new and old with an exceptional media experience.

The “Enigma Silvo” build really caught our attention after this option received a lot of praise on notable streaming forums.
This all-in-one build offers both debrid and non-debrid links making it a great choice for any Kodi user. While a debrid service is not required, it’s suggested to use Premiumize or Real-Debrid for the best possible streaming experience.
Some standout features of Enigma Silvo include its unique “Silvo” skin, simple interface, and quality video add-ons.

Doomzday is one of the most popular Kodi repositories that has been around since the early days of 18 Leia. Many of the choices on this list are available in this top-tier repository, however, there is also a “Doomzday build” that works great.
Whether you want to stream movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, or other unique content, the Doomzday all-in-one build carries it all!
While the provided display may not be the most appealing, the build itself makes up for it with the media available and high profile addons that are updated and fully functioning. There is even a “Cool Stuff” category for various choices we don’t normally see in build options.
Doomzday also offers all of the useful integrations like debrid services, Trakt, and others to improve your streaming experience.

Grindhouse is a notable repository that’s home to a diverse collection of builds, ranging from lightweight options to feature-rich setups. We suggest installing a few different options and testing them out to see which one works for you.
With over a dozen builds available, including AR Build, Blue, Decades, Horror, Jaws, and Pin Up, the Grindhouse repo provides easy access to a wide variety of content.
Many of these are “everything” builds so you won’t have to use separate outlets to watch Films and Series as well as live programming.
Its sleek, dim-themed interface features sections like Builds, Maintenance, Backup/Restore, Tools, and Close, making it simple to navigate and explore everything it has to offer. Grindhouse continues to be one of the most widely used repos available and that is why it is we included it in our list.

Aspire is a build praised by many in the Kodi community for its sleek design and high performance. This is a great choice for those who value both style and functionality when deciding which build to install.
It is not too large in size (roughly 267 MB) which means it can be used on tons of devices and this includes less powerful options such as onn. Google TV Box or the once popular Fire TV Stick Lite.
The Aspire build is jam-packed with content ranging from on-demand titles to live channels, and like most, it’s suggested to integrate a debrid provider for best performance. Aspire can be installed from either the Doomzday Wizard or EzzerMans Wizard.

Plutonium is a build characterized by its colorful and engaging user-interface. This is one of the lighter builds on our list and makes a great choice for streaming devices with limited storage.
Plutonium is an excellent build for streaming video on-demand (VOD) content with its packed library of movies and TV series. Many have used it in the past on other variations of Kodi, however, EzzerMan has done a great job with the latest update that works on Kodi 21 as well.
Currently, Plutonium is only a VOD build which means there are no categories or streams available for live channels but this is what helps make it so fast. If you already have an IPTV Service, this may be the best bet for you.
Plutonium can be installed from the “EzzerMans Wizard,” which provides dozens of other notable builds like Smokin, Diablo, and The Beast to name a few.

After installing a Kodi build on your device, many users integrate premium debrid services to improve their streaming experience. This includes Premiumize, Real-Debrid, Trakt, and AllDebrid.
In this example we are integrating Premiumize inside the Aspire build. This process should be similar for most builds.
1. Hover over the Accounts category and click Debrid/Trakt right above.
2. Select Authorize Premiumize.
3. Then click Authorize ResolveURL Premiumize.
4. An authorization code will appear. Write this down for the next step.
5. Visit premiumize.me/device and enter the code from the previous step.
6. Click Allow.
7. You should then see a message that says ‘device authorize accepted!’
That’s it! Enjoy using Premiumize or another debrid service inside your builds for a better streaming experience.
Understanding the legality behind Kodi builds is one of the most common questions we receive. Builds are completely legal to install, as Kodi is an open-source media player available in the Google Play Store.
However, the type of content being accessed on these builds may be illegal. Users should only access content not protected by copyright and available in the public domain.
TROYPOINT can’t verify whether a third-party build carries the proper licensing for the content being provided. See our guide on Kodi’s legality for more information.
Unfortunately third-party builds can come with several security risks such as malware and copyright infringement.
We have scanned all unverified builds on this page using VirusTotal to see how safe they are for use.
While no malicious files were found in most repositories, it’s still important to protect yourself with a trusted VPN when using unofficial streaming options.
Using a VPN will provide you with a safer, anonymous connection to the Internet while accessing content from unverified builds.
In addition to installing a build, the uses for Kodi are just about endless. This free media software can be turned into a streaming powerhouse with the click of a few buttons.
For more popular Kodi tutorials to compliment your build, we suggest viewing our guides below.
Overall, using a Kodi build is one of the best ways to improve your streaming experience on any compatible device. Our team at TROYPOINT has spent hours testing dozens of builds to help you find the top options available.
Also remember to use a reliable Kodi VPN to protect your privacy, secure your connection, and remain anonymous from third-party developers.
