Troubleshooting

How to fix Starz not working

Starz 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 starz.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Force quit the Starz app
On iPhone or iPad, swipe up from the bottom edge, then swipe the Starz card up to close it. On Android, open Recents and swipe the app away, then open Starz again.
Try Starz on another connection
Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone or tablet and play the same Starz video over cellular data. If it works, the home network is the problem; restart the router and try the original device again.
Clear the Starz app cache on Android
Open Settings > Apps > Starz > Storage & cache, then tap Clear cache. Do not tap Clear data unless you want to sign in again, because that removes your account details from the device.
Reinstall the Starz app
Delete the app from your device, then install it again from the App Store or Google Play. Open Starz and sign in with the same email and password; a fresh install clears a corrupted app file that a restart cannot fix.

While it is down

While Starz is down: what to use instead

Starz website When the app will not open or cast, go to starz.com in a browser and sign in with the same account.
Netflix Use it for another catalog when you just need something to watch and are not set on a particular title.
Prime Video Rent or buy one film there when you only need a single title and do not want another monthly service.
Hulu Switch to it for network shows and films while the outage clears if those are enough for the evening.

About

What happens when Starz goes down

Starz is a US streaming service known for its original shows and film library. Subscribers rely on it for on-demand movies and series, so an outage interrupts viewing across web browsers, mobile apps, and TV platforms.

When Starz has problems, the app or website often fails to load the main interface, leaving a blank screen or a spinning loading icon. Login can stall, and previously downloaded titles sometimes become unavailable for offline viewing. Playback errors are common, with streams freezing or displaying an error message about content being temporarily inaccessible. These issues usually appear widespread, affecting users on multiple devices and internet providers at once.

Questions

Starz FAQ

Is Starz down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Starz are above their usual level. It uses 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and the reports go to a public outage-reporting service; this site does not monitor the service or collect reports itself. Test your side first. Try another device or network, sign out and back in, and check whether other apps load on the same connection.

Why does Starz say a title is not available in my area?

The service licenses titles for the US, so it blocks some episodes and movies when your connection looks like it is outside that region. If you are traveling, your device location or a VPN can trigger that message. Turn off any VPN and check the app or website from a US connection.

Why does Starz playback fail on my Roku or Fire TV?

Streaming players hit playback errors from a stale app or a weak Wi-Fi signal. Restart the player. Check for an app update, then try another title to see if the fault follows one show; if it does not, sign out of the app and sign in again after restarting the device.

I canceled Starz but I was still charged. What should I check?

Check where you started the subscription. Apple, Amazon, Roku, and the website each handle billing in their own account, so canceling inside the app may not stop a charge from another provider. Cancel in the account that shows the active subscription, then confirm the cancellation email or receipt.

Can I download Starz episodes to watch offline?

The app supports downloads for some titles on phones and tablets; the exact list can change by title and device. Look for the download button on an episode page, and keep enough free storage for the file. Playback of a download still needs a valid subscription.

How we track Starz

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