NFL App Error - How to Resolve "Something Went Wrong" Message

Jump to solution

Hi Roku Community users,

We're aware that some NFL channel users are encountering an error message "Something went wrong, please try again or go to id.nfl.com/account" when trying to accept the terms of service agreement.

Update: 9/23

Here's how to resolve this issue:

Steps to Fix the Error:

  1. Visit NFL on a web browser: Open a web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet and navigate to https://www.nfl.com/account/sign-in.
  2. Sign Out and Back In If you're already signed in, sign out of your NFL account on the website. Then, sign back in with your credentials.
  3. Accept Consent: Upon signing back in, you should be prompted to re-accept the Terms of Service, Subscription Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy. Please accept all agreements.
  4. Try again: Return to your Roku device and open the NFL app. The error message should be resolved.

Additional Troubleshooting:

  • Restart Roku: If the error persists, try restarting your Roku device. Power it off completely, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
  • Reopen App: After restarting your Roku, open the NFL app again.

If the Issue Continues:

If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please let us know. Our team is working with our partners at the NFL app to find a permanent solution.

Thank You!

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
The Roku Community Team

Re: I keep getting kick out of the app

Hi Community users!

We appreciate you letting us know about the issues you've encountered with accessing your NFL account on your Roku devices. We'd be happy to provide further information regarding this matter.

If the troubleshooting steps are not effective, we strongly advise you to escalate the matter to the channel's support team. It's important to note that Roku simply hosts the channel on the platform and does not have direct management control over it.

It seems like their app on the Roku streaming platform has an authentication issue. They are responsible for issues like this as they manage and maintain their app independently. 

You may reach them here: NFL Support

We hope you find this information helpful.

Warm regards,
Carly

Every time this app opens, this policy screen appears, and every time I try to click accept, an error message appears saying, "Something went wrong."

Greetings @kehsports24,

Thanks for reaching us here in the Roku Community!

If you encounter an error message while trying to access the NFL channel, it could be due to a network issue or a channel outage. We suggest following the steps below to see if it resolves the issue.

  1. Remove the channel: Highlight the channel tile on your home screen and press Star 
     
     to open the Options menu. Select Remove channel and confirm.
    • Note: If you are removing a subscription channel billed to your Roku account, you must cancel the subscription before you see the Remove channel option. For help identifying this type of subscription channel, read the detailed article about removing a channel.
  2. Restart your Roku device: Refer to earlier instructions to restart your Roku device.
  3. Re-install the channel: After your Roku device restarts, visit the Roku Channel Store and add the channel again.
    • Note: If you are adding a subscription channel billed to your Roku account, you will need to resubscribe.

You can also check for additional troubleshooting here: How to resolve a channel playback issue.

If the issue persists, we would also suggest to reach out to the channel support team for additional help.

Regards,
Rey

Hi there, @Mikes8582. Welcome to the Roku Community!

Thank you for reaching out. We are glad to help you with the issue you're experiencing with your Roku device. If you're having trouble with playback on your Roku device, it could be due to a network problem or an issue with a specific channel.

To get things sorted, here are a couple of steps you can try:

  1. Restart your router
    - You might need to check the instructions from your internet service provider or router manufacturer for the best way to restart your router.
  2. Restart your Roku device.
    - Simply unplug the power cable, wait for a moment, and then plug it back in.
  3. You can also go to the Settings menu and follow these steps:
    -Press Home on your Roku remote
    -Scroll and select Settings
    -Select System
    -Select Power
    -If you don't see a Power submenu, move on to the next step
    -Select System restart.

We're hoping to get everything sorted out soon and appreciate you bearing with us in the meantime.

Best regards,
Jharra

Re: NFL app not loading on Roku box

Jump to solution

I have been having the exact same issue. Was finally able to communicate with nfl customer service and they just keep telling me to restart, unplug, uninstall, reinstall blah blah blah. I have given up and just plan on casting the games from my phone to my tv this season. If the issue is not fixed on their end before next season I won’t renew my nfl+ subscription.
