Clear cache and restart the app
Close Crunchyroll completely and clear the app cache. On web browsers, clear cookies and site data for crunchyroll.com.
- 2
Check your internet connection
Test your connection speed and stability. Crunchyroll requires at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming.

Try a different device or browser
If streaming fails on one device, try another (phone, computer, TV) to isolate whether it's device-specific.
- 4
Lower video quality settings
During high traffic or degraded service, switching from HD to SD quality may improve playback stability.
- 5
Disable VPN or proxy connections
VPNs and proxies can interfere with Crunchyroll's content delivery. Try disabling them temporarily.

Use the web player instead of apps

Monitor status before new episode releases
Check status before simulcast premieres, as new episode drops often coincide with high traffic and slowdowns.

Crunchyroll Status FAQ
Is Crunchyroll down right now?
Check Downdetector and Crunchyroll's Twitter for real-time reports. If both show widespread issues and you can't stream, Crunchyroll is likely experiencing an outage.
Why won't Crunchyroll videos load?
Video loading failures can indicate server issues, CDN problems, or regional outages. Try clearing your cache and switching devices before assuming it's an outage.
Why does Crunchyroll keep buffering?
Excessive buffering during peak hours (new episode releases) often indicates server overload. Try lowering video quality or waiting 30-60 minutes.
Does Crunchyroll Premium have better uptime?
Premium subscribers get priority streaming during high traffic, but major server outages affect all users equally.
Why can't I log into Crunchyroll?
Login failures during outages indicate authentication server issues. If password reset also fails, it's likely a service-wide problem.
