Troubleshooting

How to fix ESPN Fantasy Football not working

When ESPN Fantasy Football itself is having trouble, these steps won't bring it back, but they will rule out anything on your side:

Your browser tries to reach espn.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Restart ESPN Fantasy
Close the app completely and open it again. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app card away; on Android, open Recents and swipe the card away.
Try ESPN Fantasy on cellular
Turn off Wi-Fi in Control Center or Quick Settings, then reload your league page on cellular data. If the league loads, the problem is your Wi-Fi network, so restart the router and try the app again.
Update ESPN Fantasy
Open the App Store or Google Play, then install any newer version of the app. Old app versions fail. A stale install can stop league data from loading after the service changes on its side.
Reinstall ESPN Fantasy
Delete the app from your phone and install it again from the App Store or Google Play. Your league data stays on the service's servers. Sign back in with your ESPN account, then open your league to check whether the app loads.

While ESPN Fantasy Football is down: what to use instead

ESPN website Open the same league in a browser when the app will not load; the website can still show your roster and scoring.
Yahoo Fantasy Football Yahoo Fantasy Football has its own draft and weekly lineup tools, so it helps if your league decides to move to another platform.
Sleeper Sleeper gives you league chat and lineup checks on your phone, but your league has to set it up first.
NFL Fantasy Try NFL Fantasy for scores and roster moves if you need a separate league app while the main one is unavailable.

Same time

Problems at the same time as ESPN Fantasy Football

Since 27 October, ESPN Fantasy Football's only spike 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.

About

What happens when ESPN Fantasy Football goes down

ESPN Fantasy Football is the app and website for running season-long leagues, setting lineups, making waiver moves, and following live scoring. Outages interrupt lineup changes, waiver claims, draft rooms, and live matchup updates for fantasy managers.

First signs are a spinner on the scoreboard or a lineup screen that will not save. You may get logged out or see old scores while waiver and trade actions fail, even as the rest of the app loads. Draft rooms stall near a pick; live scoring freezes for one matchup while other parts work. Problems often hit one region or platform.

Questions

ESPN Fantasy Football FAQ

Is ESPN Fantasy Football down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the service are above their usual level. It does not ping or probe the service, so treat it as a report signal. Check your side first. If the ESPN website loads but your league page stalls, or the ESPN app opens scores while the fantasy tab spins, the problem may be local; try another network and sign out and back in.

Why does the ESPN Fantasy Football draft room freeze or kick me out?

A draft room can stall when the app loses its connection during a pick. Try another network. If the draft clock keeps moving while your screen freezes, close the app and relaunch it before your next pick; the ESPN website draft room is a separate path into the same draft.

Why won't my lineup or waiver claim save in the ESPN Fantasy app?

Start in a browser. A save can fail when the app has a stale login or a weak connection, so sign out and back in, then retry the move on the ESPN website. If the app shows a spinner after you tap save, close it and reopen the league page; a claim that lost the waiver order will not appear as a saved move.

Why does the ESPN Fantasy app show a blank league page or a loading spinner after I log in?

Blank league pages often come from a cached app state or a login token that no longer matches your ESPN account. Force close the app and sign in again. Open the same league in a mobile browser to see whether the page loads there; if it does, clear the app cache or reinstall the app. If both paths fail while other ESPN sections load, check with a leaguemate before you change settings.

Why can't I log in to ESPN Fantasy Football with my ESPN account?

Start with the account. A login loop usually begins with the ESPN sign-in itself, so test the same username and password on the ESPN website outside the fantasy section. If the site accepts the login but the app still bounces you back, sign out of the app and try a different network. A password change can leave an old session open, so sign out on your other devices before you retry.

How we track ESPN Fantasy Football

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for ESPN Fantasy Football, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for ESPN Fantasy Football, 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. ESPN Fantasy Football 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.
