Is Netflix down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Netflix right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Netflix continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are website / app down, can't log in, video won't play, constant buffering, poor video quality, downloads failing and search not working. Those are the options the report button offers for Netflix, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Netflix specifically, playback runs through Netflix's own delivery servers installed inside internet providers, so a problem can be limited to your provider while Netflix is fine everywhere else. Sign-in, browsing and playback are also separate, which is why you can browse the whole catalogue and start nothing. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Netflix, try a different title, then the same title over mobile data. One title failing while others play is that title. Everything failing on Wi-Fi but working on mobile data points at your provider's route to Netflix rather than Netflix. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Netflix's side. Specifically: do not sign out or reinstall the app. Reinstalling loses your downloads, and signing out during an incident can strand you at a sign-in service that is also degraded. Downloaded titles keep playing offline. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Netflix does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe netflix.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Netflix says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at help.netflix.com/en/is-netflix-down, and it is linked further up this page. That is Netflix's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Netflix or netflix.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Netflix's own support, not us.
