Here are some things you need to check before you begin your troubleshooting.
- Live streaming will not work with internet-only plans or if a local NBC affiliate is in a dispute with a carrier. Please check with your service provider about the same.
- Check with your service provider whether the NBC Sports TV subscription you have includes streaming this content/channel online. If yes, unlink and relink from your TV provider and then retry.
- If you haven’t updated the app in a long time, the latest version of the Android app is 7.24.6. Please complete your updates if pending.
