How to fix Forza not working
Forza 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 forza.net over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Quit Forza fully and relaunch
On Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight Forza, press the Menu button, and choose Quit. On PC, close the game from Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then start it again.
Test the Xbox network connection
Open Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection on your Xbox. If the test fails, restart your router and console, then run the test again before you launch the game.
Clear the alternate MAC address
On Xbox, go to Settings > General > Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address, then choose Clear and let the console restart. This gives the console a fresh network identity and can clear a stuck connection.
Reinstall Forza
Open My games & apps, highlight Forza, press the Menu button, and choose Manage game and add-ons > Uninstall. Reinstall it from your library or the Microsoft Store, then launch it once the download finishes. If the problem continues, search the Forza help centre for the exact message you see.

- Gran Turismo 7 Try its racing events if you have access to a PlayStation.

What happens when Forza goes down
Forza is a football scores app for phones and tablets, and fans rely on it for live match updates, lineups, stats, and goal alerts. When the service has trouble, you lose the live parts: score refreshes, push notifications, match timelines, and lineup details can all lag while cached fixtures and old scores stay on screen.
The first sign is usually push notifications: goal alerts arrive late or not at all, and the score on a match page freezes at a stale minute. Pulling to refresh can fail or leave the same numbers in place, while league tables and fixtures still load from cache and make the outage look smaller than it is. Lineups and match stats may fail to load, and timelines or match reminders can stall even when other parts of the app respond. Problems are often partial: one competition or region can break while others work, and the status page only shows whether reports are above their usual level rather than a direct check of the service.

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