How do I fix Fubo that will not open when other TV apps still work?

Answer

When only Fubo fails and other apps work, the TV internet connection is usually fine. Sign out and back into Fubo, then update the Fubo app and the TV software from the official app store and Settings.

Follow these steps

  1. Confirm the network with another app

    Open a different streaming app on the same TV and start a short video. If that works, treat this as a Fubo app or account issue rather than a whole-home internet outage.

    You should see: Another app streams successfully, or you discover a wider network problem instead.

  2. Sign out of Fubo and sign back in

    Open Fubo, go to Account or Settings inside the app, sign out, then sign back in with your Fubo email and password. Use only the in-app sign-in flow.

    You should see: Fubo accepts the sign-in and returns to the home screen, or shows a clear account error.

  3. Update the Fubo app

    Open the TV’s official app store, find Fubo, and install any available update. Restart Fubo afterward.

    You should see: Fubo shows as up to date, or an update installs successfully.

  4. Update the TV system software

    Go to the TV Settings menu, open System, About, or Support, and check for a software or firmware update. Install it if offered, then let the TV restart.

    You should see: The TV finishes updating and returns to the home screen.

  5. Force-close or reinstall Fubo if it still fails

    Force-stop Fubo from the TV’s Apps settings if available, or uninstall and reinstall Fubo from the official app store, then sign in again.

    You should see: Fubo opens cleanly after a fresh install or force-stop.

Extra tips

What to look for: Fubo failing to open or stream while other apps work, and any sign-in, update, or loading message inside Fubo.

Before you change anything: Confirm other streaming apps still work on the same TV. Know your Fubo account email. Use only the TV’s official app store and Fubo sign-in screens. Note your TV brand and model if you need manufacturer support later. Never share passwords or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
