SPORTSNET outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 27 user reports came in for SPORTSNET. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 5 reports, about 8 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix SPORTSNET not working
SPORTSNET 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 sportsnet.ca over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload the Sportsnet stream
Press Ctrl+R on Windows or Command+R on a Mac to reload the browser tab, and close the app and reopen it if you watch on a phone. A stalled player often recovers after one clean reload. Try that first.
Check Sportsnet reports on this page
The status at the top uses problem reports from viewers, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. A jump above the usual level points to a wider outage, while a normal level makes your device or connection the likelier cause.
Retry Sportsnet on cellular
Turn off Wi-Fi and load the stream over cellular, or switch Airplane Mode on for a few seconds and off again to reset the radio. Disconnect any VPN before you retry, because regional rights checks can block live video.
Clear the Sportsnet cache
On Android, open Settings > Apps > See all apps > Sportsnet > Storage & cache and tap Clear cache. If the player still fails, tap Clear storage and sign back in. On iPhone, delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store.
While SPORTSNET is down: what to use instead
- SPORTSNET website If the app hangs or fails to load, open the same streams and scores in a browser, because the website can keep working when the app does not.
- TSN Use TSN during outages.
- CBC Sports CBC Sports carries live coverage of some national events and score updates while you wait for the app to recover.
- TV broadcast If the stream stalls, switch to the cable or satellite channel that carries the game, because the broadcast feed runs independently of the app.
What happens when SPORTSNET goes down
SPORTSNET is a sports news and live video service for game streams and score updates, and the report level at the top of each page comes from user problem reports for it in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, which shows whether reports are above their usual level; the site does not ping or probe the service itself. You rely on it when a broadcast or scoreboard is your main way to follow a game, so an outage interrupts the stream and the score updates you came for.
The live stream tends to break first, so you get a spinner or a load error while scores and headlines still open. Highlights can stall too. Trouble is often partial, and one stream or one region can fail while the rest of the site and app load fine, which is why a second device may work when the first does not. If the problem is on the service side, signing in again or switching from Wi-Fi to cellular rarely fixes the stream because the failure is upstream.

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