Fox Sports App Users Report Persistent Crashes; Fox Pledges Swift Fix

August 30, 2025 - Sports fans relying on the Fox Sports app for live scores, video streams and news alerts encountered frustrating interruptions today, as users across platforms reported recurring crashes that disrupted their viewing experience.

Reports began surfacing early Saturday morning on social media and support forums, with several Xbox users taking to Reddit to describe the app crashing every 30-45 minutes during live streams and browsing sessions. According to one thread on r/XboxSupport, the app closed unexpectedly without error codes, forcing users back to their console home screens mid-game.

Although the issue appears widespread, affecting mobile and console versions alike, Fox Sports Interactive has not yet released an official statement. However, sources close to the development team confirmed that an emergency patch is in testing and is expected to be deployed via app stores and console marketplaces by the end of the weekend.

In the meantime, affected users are advised to:

  • Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
  • Clear the app cache and restart their device.
  • Report any persistent issues through the in-app feedback tool or official support channels.

Fox Sports Interactive reiterated its commitment to delivering a stable, high-performance experience, promising that the forthcoming update will address the crash bug and introduce additional reliability improvements for live video playback and push notifications. Users are encouraged to monitor their device’s app store for the pending update notification.
