According to RadarOnline, panellists Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi have already signed on for the ninth season of the Fox reality competition.
However, a representative for Abdul has said that the report was premature, explaining: "The RadarOnline info is incorrect.
"Negotiations are continuing. You probably won't hear anything until closer to September, when judges are needed back to go on the road."
Despite Abdul previously hinting at a possible exit, Cowell recently predicted that all four judges will reprise their roles for another year.
Auditions for season nine of American Idol began on June 14 in Boston.
