NFL+ and RedZone streaming services face outages during Week 1

The start of the 2026 NFL season was marred by technical difficulties affecting the league’s streaming services. Subscribers reported significant outages on the NFL+ app and NFL RedZone during the opening Sunday slate.

Reports indicated that many fans were unable to access live games or the RedZone stream during the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff window. The NFL+ account on X acknowledged the issues at approximately 1:19 p.m. ET, stating they were working on a fix. The technical difficulties were reported as resolved by 2:14 p.m. ET, though some users continued to experience trouble. The outage caused frustration among paid subscribers, particularly those using the premium tier to access RedZone coverage.
