Troubleshooting

How to fix Fox News not working

Fox News 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 foxnews.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Refresh the Fox News page
Press Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Command+Shift+R on Mac while the page is open. In the app, swipe the Fox News card away in the app switcher and reopen it; that clears a stuck player or blank feed without changing your settings.
Switch to a stronger connection
Turn Wi-Fi off on your phone for a few seconds, then turn it back on. On a computer, load another site in a new tab; if that fails too, restart the router. Video and live streams stall on weak connections while text pages may still load.
Open Fox News without extensions
Use a private window to test the site; in Chrome press Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows or Command+Shift+N on Mac. If the page works there, disable ad blockers and privacy extensions one at a time, then reload the page after each change. Some blockers stop the video player from loading.
Clear app storage or site data
On Android, open Settings > Apps > Fox News > Storage and tap Clear cache; if playback still fails, tap Clear data. On iPhone or iPad, delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store. In a browser, clear cookies and site data for the Fox News site only, then reload the page.

While Fox News is down: what to use instead

The Fox News site Open it in a browser when the app stalls; it may show the same stories without the app.
CNN Use CNN for live video if the app will not load.
BBC News BBC News gives you world headlines and quick text updates when the app is slow or stuck.
AP News AP News has a plain feed of wire updates for when you want the story without opening the app.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Fox News

Since 27 October, all 2 of Fox News's 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.

About

What happens when Fox News goes down

Fox News is a news channel and website with a mobile app and live stream. An outage interrupts the headlines and live coverage that readers and viewers depend on for breaking news and politics.

You may see the homepage load while article pages stall or return a blank screen. Video is often the first to fail: the player spins or the live stream drops to a black frame. Push alerts can arrive late or not at all, and the app can show a blank section where headlines should be. Problems often hit one region or one feature rather than the whole service, and the status at the top only shows whether problem reports are above their usual level in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; it does not ping or probe the service from multiple locations.

Questions

Fox News FAQ

Is Fox News down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours; it does not come from a live test of the site. To check whether the trouble is only on your side, load another site on the same device and network, then try the service again in a private window or on a second device. If those steps work, the fault is local; if they fail too, your connection or device is the place to look.

Why does the live stream ask for a TV provider login?

Live channel access on the service can require a pay TV provider sign-in, so the prompt is normal for that stream. If your provider list or login fails, confirm your credentials in the provider's own app or website; if that works, return and sign in again. Free clips and articles can still load while a live stream stays locked.

Why do video clips freeze or show a playback error in the Fox News app?

Switch from cellular to Wi-Fi or the reverse, then force-close the app if the clip still stalls. If one clip fails while others play, the video itself may be pulled or restricted, and you can open the same clip in a browser. If every video fails, clear the app cache if your phone offers that option, then reinstall the app.

Why does the Fox News app send breaking news alerts I did not turn on?

Check the alert settings inside the app and in your phone's notification controls; those two places can disagree after an update. Turn off breaking news alerts in both, then reopen the app to confirm the change. If alerts continue, reinstall the app and set your choices again.

Why is the Fox News live stream blocked in my country?

Some live video rights are limited by country, so a stream can work for one viewer and fail for another. If the player says the video is not available in your region, the block is on the stream side; changing networks or using a VPN can make the player fail in a different way. Free clips and articles may still open, so use those to check whether the rest of the service works.

How we track Fox News

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