What to do if DirecTV is not working
- Restart the device you're watching on (TV, streaming stick or console), not just the DirecTV app.
- Run a speed test: HD needs about 5 Mbps and 4K about 25 Mbps. Lower the quality in DirecTV if your connection is slow.
- Restart your router and modem. Unplug them for 30 seconds, then plug them back in.
- If only one title won't play, try another. A single-title error is usually a licensing or encoding issue, not an outage.
- Sign out of DirecTV on the device and sign back in. This clears stale sessions and stuck profiles.
- Check that your subscription and payment method are still active in your DirecTV account settings.
DirecTV outage FAQ
Is DirecTV down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to directv.com directly from our servers, so if our check works but DirecTV doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, DirecTV is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say DirecTV is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that directv.com is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of DirecTV, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag DirecTV as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check DirecTV?
We check DirecTV automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a DirecTV outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
