Paramount Plus Live Sports Not Playing

Paramount Plus works for shows and movies but live sports will not play. I have updated the app and I keep my player. I have same issue logged into CBS Sports with my paramount account. I have a fib...

    FYI. I got it to work. Seems an ad blocking issue. Specifically paramount+ needs to be allowed to get to pubads.g.doubleclick.net. It is ridiculous that this is needed but I setup my firewall to allow outbound access for Roku devices and now live games load properly.

I have the same issue on multiple Roku devices. Replay of the event works fine however live streaming shows a black screen

    Dom_P Since live sports depend on advertisement revenue I am not suprised that live sports will not play with an add blocker enbabled.

    You may be onto something. I see my a ton of ad blocks for my roku devices.

    I owe you a massive debt of gratitude!   Have been mad all season that the EFL stream weren’t working.   Spent so much time messing around looking for a solution, and this did the trick!   May good karma flow over you!!!

      Not sure but this is not my problem, I am only using the ROKU Device connected to TV. If I undersrand correctly, AD Blocker is applies only for Webbrowser. Or am I missing something?

      Still cannot use CBS Live Sports 😞

    OMG…thanks so much.  been messing around with this issue since the kick off of the EFL on Paramount.  So frustrated that I could only watch replays.   Thank for the great answer…watching live now.
