BBC Sport app problems

The BBC Sport app is probably in the top 5 mobile apps that users love to go to, to get the latest sports news in the UK – especially for expats outside of the country.

On occasion though, the BBC Sport app can stop working and can suffer problems during live stream events. We’ve seen ourselves issues with BBC Sport video players not working properly through the app, so whenever there is an outage you can send your feedback here.

  • Tim Casey

    BBC should be ashamed of themselves! The Sports app has not worked for several days. I have tried on my Samsung S6, my Samsung prime, my Samsung tablet my laptop etc.

    Football season is only days away, it is ridiculous with over 1 million user’s, they do not have the technical people to resolve this problem. BBC please fix this problem urgently!

  • Tony Beedell

    It is appalling. Same for me, not been working on a Samsung J5 Prime for a number of days now.

  • Sam Cannon

    Going to start using the sky sports app. This is just ridiculous that it has not been fixed!

  • Scott D

    Absoltely shocking that a Comapny the size of the Beeb, cannot find the bug to fix this. Since days have they known about this, and still you do not even come up with any suggestions. Typical British run Company couldnt give a toss. Glad your not getting my money for your Licences.
