How to fix NPO Start not working

NPO Start 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:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not NPO Start.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While NPO Start is down: what to use instead

• NPO Start website Use the browser version if the app opens but video keeps spinning or login does not stick.
• TV provider live channels Switch to your TV provider if you only need NPO 1, NPO 2, or NPO 3 as the broadcast airs.
• NLZIET Use it for Dutch live TV and catch-up when you want a similar viewing route outside the app.
• NPO Luister Try the radio app if the programme you want is audio, or if you only need the live radio feed.

Problems at the same time as NPO Start

Since 4 November, NPO Start'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.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

When people report NPO Start problems

The busiest hour for reports about NPO Start is 20:00 to 21:00 Central European time, and the busiest day is Wednesday.

Each bar is the average number of user reports in that hour, or on that day of the week, from 29 days of reports since 5 October 2026. The busiest bar is highlighted. Spikes in reports are left out, so one outage does not set the pattern.
