How to fix NFL Network not working
NFL Network 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 nfl.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the TV provider login
Open the app, go to Settings or Account, sign out, then sign back in with the TV provider credentials. If the provider page loops, close the app and sign in through the provider site in a browser before returning to the app.
Restart the NFL app
Force close the app, then reopen it; on iPhone, open the app switcher and swipe the app card away, and on Android, open Recents and swipe the card away. If the screen stays black or stuck on a spinner, restart the device and launch the app again.
Switch networks and try another device
Turn off Wi-Fi in Control Center or Quick Settings and retry over cellular; if a short video plays, restart the router and try your original connection again. Sign in on a second device with the same account; if that device works, the problem sits with the first device.
Clear the NFL app cache
On Android, open Settings > Apps > NFL > Storage & cache > Clear cache, then use Clear storage if the error remains; on iPhone, delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store. Sign back in after a reinstall or a storage clear, since both drop the login.
While NFL Network is down: what to use instead
- ESPN Use ESPN to follow NFL scores, game updates, and football news while the NFL Network stream is unavailable.
- NFL+ Check NFL+ for available live game audio, game replays, and other NFL video content, depending on your location and subscription.
- YouTube TV If you get NFL Network through YouTube TV, check its app or website to see whether the channel works there.
- TV provider app Open your cable or live TV provider's app to check whether NFL Network is available there while the usual stream is failing.

Problems at the same time as NFL Network
Since 25 October, NFL Network'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.

What happens when NFL Network goes down
NFL Network is the league's cable and satellite channel, carrying live game broadcasts and studio shows that football fans watch through pay TV or the NFL app. An outage interrupts the live feed, the studio coverage around it, the sign-in screen, and the stream itself.
A live game feed is usually the first thing to fail: the picture freezes or the stream drops to a black screen before the studio shows even load. You may see a sign-in loop or a not authorized message, and connected TV apps can show an empty guide while the pay TV box still has the channel. Clips stall without warning. Problems are often partial: one pay TV provider or app platform fails while another works, and reports cluster by region; the status at the top of each page shows whether user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and the site does not ping or probe the service itself.

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