Luckily, you’ve come to the right place to get this issue fixed.

#1 Try a Different Event

Before doing anything else, let’s determine whether the issue is with the specific sports event you’re trying to watch or with DAZN itself.

To do this, just go to the home library and choose a different sports event. If it’s working, switch back to the original event you were trying to watch.

You’d be surprised how often this quick tip does the trick and gets things working correctly again.

But, if the issue persists or the other sports event was also experiencing issues, please enter downdetector.com/status/dazn/ and check the reports. If the platform’s servers are down, you’ll need to wait for a couple of hours until their IT team solves the issue.

If the servers are not experiencing any downtime, there could be another reason behind the problem. Keep reading to learn more about other ways that can help you fix the issue.

#2 Restart the App & Your Device

Although it might seem like a simple solution, restarting DAZN and your TV can work wonders when it comes to fixing many tech issues.

You see, even the most reliable apps or devices can be susceptible to temporary bugs and glitches. Luckily, you can get rid of them by simply restarting both.

Doing this will also close background processes that may be slowing down your device.

Follow these simple instructions to restart DAZN:

Apple TV:

1. Double-press the home button on your remote.
2. Choose DAZN from the options.
3. Swipe up on your remote touch sensor to close the app.

Samsung Smart TV:

1. Press the back button on your remote for a few seconds.
2. A message will pop up on the screen asking if you want to close the app. Please, press “Ok”.

Hisense TV:

1. Go to Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
2. Select “Apps” and click on DAZN.
3. Choose “Force Stop”.

Sony Smart TV:

1. Go to the Settings menu and click on “Applications”.
2. Choose “Manage applications” and go to “Downloaded”
3. Click on DAZN and select “Force Stop”.
4. Select “OK”.

Once you’ve force-stopped DAZN on your TV, please relaunch it to see if the issue was solved.

If it persists, you need to restart your device by turning it off and unplugging it from the power source. Then, wait for a minute and plug your TV back into the wall outlet.

#3 Refresh Your Internet Connection

If restarting your app and device didn’t do the trick, there’s a good chance DAZN is not working due to a network issue.

To check if that’s the case, go to fast.com and run a quick test. Then, compare the results with the speed promised by your Internet plan. If your connection is slower than expected, please restart your modem and router.

Doing this is very simple, you’ll just need to unplug them from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug them back in.

Then, try streaming any sports event again. If DAZN is still not working on your TV, try keeping your router away from kitchen appliances or any large metal objects to avoid signal interference.

I also recommend disconnecting devices that are not in use or that don’t need to be connected at the moment. This way, you can improve the speed of your internet connection.

#4 Check Your Subscription Status

If refreshing your Internet connection didn’t do the trick, then chances are there’s a problem with your subscription.

You see, it may not have been renewed due to payment issues, such as an expired or canceled card, o a problem with the payment processing system.

To check if that’s the case, please go to DAZN on your computer and check your payment history. Make sure your card numbers are correct, or try adding a different payment method.

#5 Update DAZN & Your TV

Moving on, it’s time to make sure that your app and TV are running on their latest versions.

You see, if you’re using an outdated version of the DAZN app on your TV, you may experience freezes, crashes, or buffering issues. This is because older versions may have bugs or glitches that may have already been fixed in the latest version.

Similarly, if your TV’s system is not up-to-date, it may not be able to properly display the video content from DAZN or any other streaming service.
