Why is fuboTV constantly buffering?

You can consider these factors:

Slow Internet connection – Although fuboTV will adjust the video quality to match your connection speed, a slow Internet connection may cause the app to buffer continuously Router problems – If your router is not set up correctly or has some issues, your connection may be inconsistent or too slow; try restarting or reconfiguring it The video resolution is too high – Forcing the resolution to Full HD or 4K with a slow Internet connection may bring the streaming to a halt

Before starting any troubleshooting, make sure that your Internet connection speed is on par with fuboTV’s requirements: As you may clearly see, the higher the resolution, the faster your Internet connection speed should be. Check the information provided by your ISP and see if they match. To check your Internet connection speed, you may use a third-party service like Ookla’s Speed Test website. Quick Tip A solution for preventing or solving streaming buffering is using a reliable VPN service. ExpressVPN can help you enhance your viewing experience by reducing lag and bypassing bandwidth throttling by your internet source. This VPN also keeps your online activity more private and secure, as your connection is safeguarded with tunneling and encryption, thus third-parties like ISPs are powerless to inspect your data packets.

How do I stop my fuboTV from buffering?

1. Check the fuboTV server status

Sometimes, the fuboTV servers may be down or in maintenance so the first step would be to verify the service status. FuboTV has a dedicated page to check the status of its services so that should be an easy task. If you see that the Streaming service is not operational, just wait until it comes back online.

2. Restart the stream and the fuboTV app

A certain channel may not be working at the moment. That’s why you should try changing to another channel, wait a few minutes, then return to the channel you had problems with. Another solution is to close the fuboTV app completely on your PC or streaming device and open it again.

3. Clear the web browser’s or the app’s cache

Clearing the cache of fuboTV is a very efficient way to fix any issues with streaming. We have shown you above how to do that in Chrome but the process is very similar in other browsers as well. For the Android mobile app, navigate to the Storage settings on your device, find the fuboTV app, and tap the Clear Cache button. Yet, to make sure that all cached data and cookies are cleared, we recommend CCleaner, a great tool to clean your PC from junk, free up some memory and optimize PC speed. ⇒ Get CCleaner Also, we can recommend getting a better browser to watch fuboTV from anywhere in the world.

4. Reinstall your app

In the solution above, we showed you how to reinstall the app on Windows 11, but the process is very similar in Windows 10.

5. Change the video quality

As we’ve written at the beginning of this article, fuboTV matches the resolution with your Internet connection automatically but you can force a lower resolution from its settings.

How can I improve my stream quality?

First, all the streaming apps buffer the video before playing it so the action itself is perfectly OK. The problem comes when the buffering can’t keep up with the viewing. Here are a few pointers on how to improve the streaming quality: ➡ Use a cable connection – By using an Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi, you can considerably improve the quality of your live stream because the Internet connection will be a lot more stable ➡ Limit background tasks – Numerous apps are continuously running in the background of every computer and some of them use the Internet connection so close as many as you can ➡ Close unused tabs – If you’re watching fuboTV in your browser, close the tabs you’re not using at the moment because they may use your precious Internet connection That’s it! We hope that now the fuboTV buffering issue has been solved and now you can watch your favorite shows.
