| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of Consolidation and Preparation of Interim Financial Statements | Principles of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests are reported separately within equity. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company. Preparation of Interim Financial Statements These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial reporting and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2025 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates These consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions deemed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
|
| Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations As described in the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company’s business in Spain is classified as a discontinued operation, and it remains held for sale as of March 31, 2026. The Company’s former Europe-North segment and Latin American businesses, which were sold in 2025, are also presented as discontinued operations for the prior year period. In accordance with GAAP, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and results of discontinued operations are reported as a separate component of consolidated net income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented. Cash flows related to discontinued operations are included within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are not separately presented. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on discontinued operations. All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations.

| New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
