How to fix Blizzard Battle.net not working
Blizzard Battle.net is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach blizzard.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Read the live numbers before anything else
You searched 'is Blizzard Battle.net down right now', so start at the top of this page. Status reads operational, uptime sits at 100.00% across the past 24 hours, and players filed 191 reports in that window. Trust the spike. When reports climb into the hundreds while status still says operational, Blizzard's monitoring lags behind what players feel, and the honest answer is patience rather than a reinstall.
Launcher stuck on 'Connecting' or a blank login
Kill Agent.exe in Task Manager first, because a frozen Agent blocks the launcher before the login screen ever appears. Then close the app, delete the Cache folder at C:/ProgramData/Blizzard Entertainment/Battle.net, and start it again; the launcher rebuilds that folder clean on the next boot. Sync your Windows clock as well. Battle.net rejects your login token whenever system time drifts more than a few minutes, which looks identical to a server outage from your side of the screen. These two steps clear most 'Blizzard Battle.net not working today' complaints that had nothing to do with Blizzard.
Check your connection and DNS
Open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns, then switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 if logins keep timing out. Disable your VPN and any proxy too, because the Battle.net client refuses to authenticate through a half-configured proxy and throws a BLZBNTBNA login error that reads like downtime. Routers hold stale routes. Reboot yours, and if the client still hangs, check the Blizzard Battle.net network status page, since regional ISPs break the path to Blizzard login servers while every other site loads fine.
Cross-check regions and third-party trackers
Flip your region from Americas to Europe in the launcher settings before you assume 'Blizzard Battle.net down' means everyone is down. Regions fail independently. Blizzard runs separate login hardware per region, so this ten-second test tells you whether the problem sits on their side or yours. Compare our chart against the Blizzard Battle.net down detector page too; 'Blizzard Battle.net outage today 2026' searches spike the moment both trackers agree, and the last confirmed incident here was more than 24 hours ago. For per-game detail, the official Blizzard Battle.net server status page lists WoW, Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, and Hearthstone separately. Open it when your only question is 'is Blizzard Battle.net working' for your game tonight.
While Blizzard Battle.net is down: what to use instead
- Offline mode in the desktop app If the app logged you in recently, some games such as Diablo II: Resurrected can still load offline characters, though anything that needs the servers stays locked until login works again.
- The website in a browser When only the desktop launcher hangs, the account pages on the website may still open for password changes and security settings.
- Discord Your group can keep talking on Discord while the friends list and in-game chat are down.
- Steam or Epic Games Store Good for playing something else while you wait.

Since 5 October, 10 of Blizzard Battle.net's 11 spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Blizzard Battle.net goes down
Blizzard Battle.net runs the launcher, store, friends list, and matchmaking behind World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, and Call of Duty. One failed login server strands you.
When Blizzard Battle.net goes down, the app hangs on 'Connecting', your friends list empties, the store refuses to load, and games like Diablo IV boot you to the login screen mid-session because the saves sit server-side. That hurts. 191 outage reports came in over the last 24 hours, and the last outage spike was more than 24 hours ago, so check the chart above before you reinstall anything.

How we track Blizzard Battle.net
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Blizzard Battle.net, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Blizzard Battle.net, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Blizzard Battle.net doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
