NFL streaming service technical outages

Overview

The start of the 2026 NFL season has been characterized by recurring technical difficulties with the league’s streaming services, specifically NFL+ and NFL RedZone.

Initial outages occurred during the Week 1 kickoff window, with subscribers reporting issues accessing live video playback and apps. While the service was largely restored by mid-afternoon that day, technical disruptions persisted through Week 2.

By Week 3, widespread outages, login errors, and loading loops resurfaced during the Sunday early game slate. This marked the third consecutive week of reported disruptions. In response to the ongoing issues, NFL+ subscribers have expressed significant frustration, with many demanding refunds for the service. Rather than issuing automatic credits, support staff have instructed users to submit individual support tickets.
