Common reasons Fubo might not work with a VPN
- The server you're on is under heavy load during a high-traffic kickoff window
- Fubo applies extra scrutiny to VPN traffic, which can occasionally affect playback
Try these steps
- Make sure the app is up to date. Update VPN Super from the App Store or Google Play. If you're on another platform, download the latest VPN Super version here.
- Switch to a Premium server. Premium servers are optimized for streaming. If playback fails on your current server, try switching to a different US server.
- Try the browser instead of the app. Open fubo.tv in Chrome or Safari with VPN Super running.
- Refresh your connection. Disconnect and reconnect to VPN Super. Then quit the Fubo app and reopen it.
- If you're streaming on your browser, close and reopen the tab, or clear your browser cache.
- Note: If Fubo prompts you to share your location, don't allow it. If you've already granted access, you can remove it in your browser's settings for fubo.tv.
Experiencing slow or interrupted playback?
If Fubo loads but keeps buffering or dropping to a lower quality, the issue is likely connection speed rather than the VPN server itself.
Check your speed first. Run a speed test at speedtest.net with VPN Super connected. For smooth Fubo playback, you'll need at least 3Mbps for 720p, 6Mbps for 1080p, and 25Mbps for 4K streaming.
If your speed looks fine but buffering continues, work through steps 1-4 in the section above.
Still not working?
Contact Support with your physical location, the protocol you're using, your device and OS version, and any error message Fubo is displaying.
