NFL Network Reviews

by AwesomeSaucetx55

I was trying to watch the beginning of football, best time of the year obviously. Even though it is preseason it is still worth watching. I have Apple TV and was streaming with the nfl network app and I also have a cable subscription at my other home and was using that to login. Every minute or so it cut off the game and gave me a message saying “Sorry, we’re having trouble playing the video right now”. What am I paying for if I can’t even watch the only thing I am paying for. Would not recommend and really hope they get this fixed before football season starts.

Since the beginning of this season firetv only shows about 1/2 - 2/3 of the Gamepass replays on Monday/Tuesday. This happened on 5 different firetv devices.

I reached out to tech support week 1 and was told “we’re working on it.”

I waited until I couldn’t stand it anymore and reached out this week. Was told I was looking in the wrong place (I’m looking under the giant menu labeled “Gamepass” where else would I look?), that the *old* issue wasn’t related to my problem, and that they offer no refunds. Basically the snarky little neckbeard at tech support left it with “you’re doing it wrong.”

A multi billion dollar corporation charging $99 a year for an app that doesn’t work. It is also buggy and sometimes just shows a black screen or dies on IOS and firetv. Every time I load NFLNetwork I have to login again. As another example- I waited all weekend to watch a game, I load it up on my phone, hit the skip 30 seconds button, and it fast forwards to the end of the 4th quarter showing the score and ruining 2 hours of planned enjoyment.

Honestly it would be easier, cheaper, and more reliable just to torrent the games you want. This is a complete crap show.

I have poorly converted Japanese sexy toy apps that are more reliable and easier to navigate.

So my cable provider failed to reach an agreement to carry your network. I switched cable providers, because I don’t play games when it comes to watching football. The new provider, shortly thereafter dropped the network as well. So I decided to download NFLNetwork and pay for a separate subscription. Problem is, you guys don’t offer that. Why can I go to NBA TV and enjoy the perks of not needing cable to watch their programs, along with Showtime HBO and other networks, but I can’t do the same with NFL Network? I mean it’s only 2019, who do you have to hire to make that option available? I want to watch NFL Network too! Sheesh...😩😤

UPDATE: I have officially changed my cable provider to Xfinity, and I STILL can’t stream NFLNetwork through my phone because Xfinity, only one of the largest cable providers in the Chicagoland area, is not a listed provider within NFLNetwork . Would you PLEASE fix this???

When a Monopoly exists, the customers get screwed. This is absolutely the case here. The reason NFLNetwork hasn’t improved over time is that the NFL doesn’t care about its fans. We, the fans, do have the power to fix this very quickly. The ONLY thing the NFL cares about is MONEY. And the tremendous greed of the owners, league and players has created an exposed weakness in their financial structure. The NFL can’t withstand a significant drop in revenue for even a few months. The NFL doesn’t hear the complaints of its fans because we aren’t communicating in a language they can hear. The NFL can only communicate in one language - the language of MONEY. Fans need to boycott the NFL for only a few weeks to start the process of real change. But if the fans don’t come together and speak in a single voice then we will continue to get the treatment we get now.

While the idea of watching a live football game is wonderful, being ABLE to do so with NFLNetwork would be even more wonderful. It's impossible to watch a game (like today's Baltimore @ Steelers Christmas Day game) without paused or completely broken connections, missed plays, having the commercials voices completely voicing over the game announcers call & on-field action, cutting to a commercial in the middle of a play, etc., etc., etc.
What's the sense of NFLNetwork if it doesn't even remotely work properly? For example, for those away from home like myself right now, trying to watch the game on my iPad or iPhone (with a solid internet signal) away from home where I'd otherwise be watching the game in my living room on DirecTV without frustration.
NFLNetwork needs MAJOR improvements. Very, very disappointed.

Even though I’m paying for the network, I cannot watch the game on my own TV because “Airplay is currently not supported.” So instead I’m watching it on my tablet perched on my desk. This league is run by idiots... clearly football is a wonderful game because it succeeds despite the bungled efforts of the owners and league office.

The simple fact that the product is restricted on one screen in a space, but viewable on a different screen in the exact same space is a testament to the incompetence of the suits that negotiate these deals (incompetent suits.... I know it’s redundant), but I guess it serves a purpose because these people would be unemployable in any job that actually matters.

Also, the stream collapses and needs to be reloaded every so often. So it’s also lousy at the one thing it’s supposed to do.

This is an absolute joke of an app. I paid for RedZone thru NFLNetwork Store for a season access only to find out out of the tons of providers listed mine isn’t and now have paid for a service for the season and I can’t use because we don’t have one of the main providers such as dish. Based off of everything I read and researched before purchasing this was going to work and only after finding some obscure article online realized this was the reason my log in attempts weren’t working. This is an absolute crock and false advertising by nfl network. And what’s more is there’s no way to contact anyone to ask for my money back. Absolute waste of time and money and I can’t wait to tell everyone about it.

I spend a lot for season tickets and one perk is getting Game Pass. However, no matter what I’ve tried, NFLNetwork will not activate the Game Pass option do I can access games. My season ticket holder account is linked. Redzone is active but every time I attempt to activate Game pass, it pops up a screen to purchase or log in with your NFL account. I log in with my NFL account and it flips the screen out and right back in ASKING AGAIN. I’ve left messages that have gone unanswered. I’ve read on gheirwebdight that they are aware of an issue and it’s been a couple MONTHS!!! Come on, I want this to work like it should.

by JacksAngel23

I switched accounts under the same cable provider and NFLNetwork does not give me the ability to change that info. As soon as I click the provider, it tries to auto login under my old account which doesn’t work. I get stuck in a loop and can do nothing to change the information. Deleting all cookies, browsing history, stored passwords, NFLNetwork itself, has done nothing. And because it requires me to choose a provider before NFLNetwork is even accessible, I can’t even reach out to them directly for help. Horrible setup.

by Asdjkpouyfcbnhfd

Laughably bad it even to tells what region I am in and won’t let me watch certain games I’m a Cowboys fan and I live in South Dakota and it’s nearly impossible to watch the game so instead of the NFL network playing the game and advertisers forcing me to watch commercials and paying the NFL. I’m now going to pirate a live stream watch zero commercials and watch the game completely free and the NFL gets zero revenue from this and I have a virtual private network so no one’s gonna catch me doing it. How stupid are they????

by Cody Sr.

This has to be the most horrible & ridiculous app I have ever seen! I literally pay for the NFL Network & Redzone at home through Comcast/Xfinity & I live on that channel during football season! But Comcast/Xfinity is not one of the network options in NFLNetwork! Thats the dumbest thing I've ever seen! I'm even considering getting rid of the NFL Network at home! I even pay extra for the NFL Network & Redzone with Comcast/Xfinity! For that reason alone I should be able to use it with NFLNetwork! Do not get NFLNetwork! It's a waste! Now I'm going to miss all the preseason game again this year! Horrible app to watch football on the go!!!!!

How many people does it take to tell you to fix NFLNetwork everyone is actually telling you problems with NFLNetwork but know one is listening on the other side the people who are to fix NFLNetwork aren't even reading the reviews to help them out. Its been almost a year since the last update i see some apps getting updates and fixes once a month and even once a week but NFLNetwork the is so popular the people that are to be reading and fixing app aren't doing there job either fire the people not doing there job And hire some people that will do there job and fix the NFL Network App please. Its real easy if you just listen to the many people on here even telling you whats wrong with NFLNetwork if the person or people that are to be fixing NFLNetwork aren’t then hire someone or some people and get someone or some people who cares enough to do the job and let them fix the NFL Network application
Thank you

OK, so it took nearly ten minutes for the login screen to appear so I could actually input my email and password. Many other apps (like HBO) use the TV/cable provider app to authenticate your subscription credentials, so you don't have to put them in all of these separate apps.

Credentials are good, but before the stream launches, I need to sit through 2-3 minutes of commercials. Fine, I guess.

Get to the game. It's 3rd down, so I watch one play and then a punt...and more commercials. This is a NFL game, so I'm conditioned to commercials on commercials.

Game comes back (after the same commercials I've seen 4 times in 15 minutes) and it's already 2nd down.

A minute or two later, it's the two minute warning. Mike Tirico says "back in 30 seconds," which I laughed, because it was already 3rd down when the game returned from the same 4 ads they had been running all night.

I understand the need for commercials. I do. But when they cut into the actual live product I'd like to watch, then I have issues.

I am a verizon customer so i get certain games that would be shown locally for free. But the Game pass and red zone really arent worth the money. They want you to pay $100 for the game pass and advertise you get out of market games. Im currently using the 1 week free trial and its still not letting me watch certain games as it says they are out of market and cant be viewed live. So def not worth the money there. Redzone used to be charged a lot better. It had a week to week option which is no longer an option, which was great for me when i travel or am not home to watch games each week id pay for the week for redzone and watch it that way. Now its $40 (at least last year it was) and to top it off, its not until like week 15 they drop the price on it. So its nowhere near worth the money for that now either. I mean a company that makes billions of dollars off of us each year just keeps getting greedier. So i will no longer be using the paid add ons for NFLNetwork anymore.

The NFL Network application provides easy to view access to the sports channel with the ability to log in via your cable provider and proceed to watching either the main NFL Network or Red Zone programming. NFLNetwork is easy to use when watching a program as you can enlarge for a full screen or keep a small screen. Users can also view the complete schedule for that day and the upcoming days. NFLNetwork is pretty bare bones and could use some enhancement such as push notification options for programs a viewer may want to see and maybe a section for NFL programs that aired during the week that you missed but want to watch at the moment. The NFL Network is a good start with the ball at the 20 but has a long way to go in scoring a touchdown for the users.

First, ignore the 1 star reviews from those upset NFLNetwork does not support Comcast/Xfinity (or other providers). Those complaints are misdirected and have nothing to do with NFLNetwork . It isn’t NFLNetwork ’s fault that a cable provider cannot work out a deal for live streaming with NFL Network.

As for NFLNetwork , it works well. I’ve not had a problem streaming any of the programming including live broadcasts of games. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is NFLNetwork layout could be improved.

I live in a Pittsburgh demographic as a Browns fan. I don’t have Direct TV, I have Dish, so I am limited to watching my beloved Browns. NFLNetwork allows me to not only watch their Thursday Night game, but also watch the Redzone and other programs throughout the season. Thank goodness for NFLNetwork, it’s a godsend!

Now for three weeks my app will not work at all, especially on Sunday. It does not make any sense because it used too.
I used to delete NFLNetwork and re download NFLNetwork and then it worked fine. Now... nothing. It is now. 8:16 pm on sun 10/22 and NFLNetwork is still down. It’s not my WiFi either. All my other apps work. Get with it nfl geeks and make this right!

by Number #34

I called your representatives last night to ask if I could get the NFL Sunday Ticket streamed on my phone. I was told that I could and I am a happy customer right now. My job had to change my work schedule to now I have to work weekends (I’m not happy about it at all) but it’s only temporary. I haven’t worked Sunday’s since 1993 and glad that it’s only temporary.

So I have 3 three kids and they are always watching the tv. So I have to watch my tv stuff on my tablet and I love the nfl network. But NFLNetwork needs an upgrade badly. I mean it doesn’t even have options to expand to full screen or take down the lineup that’s coming up next. The same goes for Redzone. Please update your app to allow the screen to expand to full screen.

by NMcB22

At home I have both NFL Nerwork and NFL redZone. My provider is Comcast/Xfinity which is a huge provider. I have it at hole but the stupid app doesn’t allow it this is horrible and needs to get fixed ASAP. This is truly a disgrace that I can watch it on my tv but not my phone as well.

by TheAutumnWind34

I never right reviews of basically anything much less an app but I felt compelled to thank the NFL for providing free games EVERY SUNDAY to EVERYONE! Supporting a Family of 4 who rely solely on the internet (we don’t have cable) can be expensive we can’t always afford the streaming services to watch our Team but with the FREE Games every week on NFLNetwork we now can all enjoy a game each week. Thank you NFL please keep this rollin! 🏈 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
