[Local Outage?] Sling TV Issues in My Area – Anyone Affected?

Sling TV Outage

Noticing Sling TV isn’t working in your area today? You’re not alone. This post is to collect reports of localized outages or performance issues that may not be nationwide but are affecting certain regions or ISPs.

Some users have found that while the Sling app loads fine, it:

Buffers endlessly when trying to watch live TV
Won’t load local channels
Crashes when switching between networks or devices

Often, these types of issues aren’t due to Sling’s servers being completely down—but due to regional network congestion, CDN issues, or even your ISP having trouble routing Sling’s video streams.

Here’s what you can do:

Visit Downdetector and check the heat map to see if your area is affected
Post your city/state and internet provider here
Run a speed test to see if your connection is unstable
Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) to test

If others in your area confirm similar problems, it's likely a regional issue—sometimes fixed faster when ISPs or Sling are aware of the pattern. Some users also report success using a VPN to reroute traffic and bypass local congestion (though this may violate Sling’s TOS, so proceed with caution).

We encourage everyone to share:

Where you’re located
What device you’re using
What time the issue started
Whether you’ve contacted support or gotten a response

Let’s help map out these regional issues and hopefully get some faster resolutions.
