How to fix Fubo TV
Method 1: Change the channel
If you are logged into Fubo TV, try changing the channel.
The problem of Fubo TV not working correctly can be limited to a particular channel or broadcast temporarily going offline.
If the other channels are working correctly, then everything should be good in terms of your account and connection.
Moving on to the next step will help to see if the Fubo TV servers and broadcasts themselves are experiencing any issues.
Method 1: Check to make sure that the Fubo TV servers are operational
When Fubo TV is buffering or simply not working, it is worthwhile checking that there are no issues or outages with the Fubo TV platform.
Method 2: Restart the Fubo TV app
It is a good idea to restart the Fubo TV app if it is not working.
By restarting the Fubo TV app, you give the opportunity for any updates to correctly install and establish a new connection with the servers.
Method 3: Sign out of the Fubo TV app
Another potential quick fix for Fubo TV not working is to sign out of your account.
By signing out of your Fubo TV account before you return and log in, you may resolve any account-related issues with are causing the problems to occur.
Method 4: Restart your Playback Source Device
To access the Fubo TV app, you will be using a playback device to access the app.
The most common playback devices for the Fubo TV app are:
- Smart TVs
- Content Devices such as Apple TV, Firestick, or Roku
- Games Consoles such as PlayStation and XBOX
- A PC or MacBook Laptop
The universal recommendation for these devices and the first step in trying to eliminate the Fubo TV not working issue is to perform a power cycle of these systems.
To perform a power cycle of the devices, simply unplug them for 60 seconds before plugging them back in.
This restart allows any updates that have been downloaded in the background to successfully install and start, and it also clears the system cache.
Clearing the system cache and any lingering apps running in RAM can help in reducing the chances of Fubo TV not working correctly.
Method 5: Reset your Router
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but it is definitely effective in fixing the Fubo TV not working issue.
How do I reset my router?
The easiest way to reset your router is to simply unplug it from the wall socket for 30 seconds before plugging it back in.
This action will “power-cycle” your router and provide more bandwidth to increase your ability to play content faster on the Fubo TV app.
Method 6: Update your Fubo TV app
If you are playing Paramount Plus using a device such as a Firestick, Roku or smart TV then I would recommend that you update the app if possible.
Method 7: Update your device software/firmware
Whether you are using a TV, Content Device, or Games console, updating your firmware or software to the latest version can help in preventing issues from arising over time.
Sometimes updates can be missed, or an installation can be interrupted and cause issues with your playback device.
Old firmware or a partial firmware installation could cause Fubo TV to not work correctly.
Ensuring that you have the latest software on your devices also gives you access to new apps and an improved viewing experience.
Method 8: Use an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi
It is almost always true that when you use an Ethernet (Wired Connection) rather than Wi-Fi, you will get a better download speed, but you can also prevent app issues from occurring.
Wired connections transmit data quicker and with less interference. There are also fewer variables that can hinder the quality of connection.
Wi-Fi connections are slower and generally have a slower response time.
The distance from your playback device along with the walls, floor, and ceilings can all deteriorate the quality of your internet connection, causing Fubo TV not to work.
I always use a wired connection when it is available, and you should too!
Method 9: Disable any Ad blockers or VPNs
VPNs and Ad blockers can negatively affect the playback performance of the Fubo TV app and also stop it from working at all.
Your connection to a VPN will always limit the speed at which you can play content.
We understand that using a VPN can be a sensible choice, especially due to privacy concerns.
Unfortunately, by using a VPN, you are creating another dependency that can cause Fubo TV not to work if there are any problems or limited speed.
Method 10: Contact Fubo TV Support
If you have tried all the tips above and nothing has worked, then you can contact Fubo TV support for further assistance.

Fubo TV can stop working for a variety of reasons, this guide covers the most common reasons and how to resolve them.
