Tip
Should you encounter any streaming issues during the broadcast, including buffering, try the following steps in order until the issue is resolved.
- Check the status of your streaming service. Use a service status checker like downdetector.com to determine if your streaming service has been reported as experiencing widespread issues.
- Restart the streaming app you’re using to watch the game.
- Reboot your streaming device by unplugging the power cord from the wall for 15 seconds and plugging it back in. If your device is directly connected to your TV, remove it for 15 seconds and plug it back in.
