Is WOW down right now? Live status and outage tracker

WOW outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 187 user reports came in for WOW. 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 9 reports, about 14 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix WOW not working

WOW 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 WOW.

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 WOW is down: what to use instead

• Final Fantasy XIV Pick this when you want another fantasy MMO with group dungeons and a story campaign.
• Guild Wars 2 If the login screen keeps failing and your group still wants to play together, this open-world MMO gives you events and map exploration to fill the evening.
• The Elder Scrolls Online Use it for questing in a shared world if your group cannot get past the character screen.
• RuneScape Try it when you want skilling and quests in a long running online world.

Problems at the same time as WOW

Since 27 October, WOW'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 WOW problems

The busiest hour for reports about WOW 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 21 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.
