How to Fix Bally Sports App Not Working on Firestick
Interruptions while streaming your favorite regional matches on your Firestick can be frustrating. This can be caused due to several reasons like poor Internet connectivity issues, outdated software, corrupted cache, and more. I have added a few troubleshooting methods with which you can resolve the issue on the app effectively.
- Check whether the internet connection is faster to stream the content. If not, re-establish a proper internet connection and then try to stream the content of Bally Sports on your FIrestick device.
- Make sure that the Bally Sports app is updated. If not, update the app on your Firestick to resolve issues, like app freezing, app not opening, etc.
- If a game is blacked out in a specific region, you cannot stream those matches. So, try any other regional games or use ExpressVPN on Firestick to bypass the geo-restrictions.
- If you see an error message saying, “Your current geographic location could not be determined,” then you need to ensure the following.
- Disable any VPN on your Firestick.
- Log out and then log in again to resolve the issue.
- Restart your WIFI router.
- To fix the bug issues on your Firestick, I would recommend restarting the Firestick.
- Clear the cache files on your Firestick to avoid issues like reduced performance, content buffering, etc.
- If you have not updated the Firestick device, I suggest you get your Firestick device to the latest software version to fix the issues on the device.
