NFL + Premium not working on apple tv 4k

I am a subscriber to the $79.99 NFl + Premium plan and it has recently stopped working on my Apple TV 4k. When you try to click on an old game to watch it directs me to a screen to purchase NFL + and Premium. On this screen it acknowledges my current plan is the $79.99 plan but nothing associated with that plan will play. I have tried logging out of the app and logging back in. I have also tried deleting the app and re-installing it and logging in again and even attempted to restore purchase. Also I have given the apple tv 4k multiple power cycles while trying all of this. After resetting my password on the mobile app my account will play all of the content on my phone but it is not working on the apple tv 4k. Can someone help me fix this? Also attached is a screen shot from my 4k apple tv. 



Thanks,


Allen

  1. Log out of NFL+ on all of your devices. (Apple TV, iPads, iPhones, Macs)
  2. Clear all cookies/cache on Safari on iPhone, Mac, iPad.


3a. Reset NFL+ password on Mac.

4a. Log In to NFL+ with your email & new password to Safari on your Mac.

5a. Use https://nfl.com/activate on Safari on your Mac with generated code for Apple TV Log In.


3b. Reset NFL+ password on iPhone or iPad. (Set Safari setting to Request Desktop Website)

4b. Log In to NFL+ with your email & new password to Safari on your iPhone.

5b. Take a picture of the QR code for Apple TV Log In.


That's it. NFL+ on Safari will activate the device.


Hope this helps!

NFL Plus on the NFL plus app works on Apple TV 4K first generation, the original one with the all black remote (I have verified this on two devices). As of this writing it does not work on second generation Apple TV 4K , the one with the silver remote. The app will show live games, but none of the NFL plus content. I have verified this on two devices. Don’t know abou my 3rd generation Apple TV 4K (latest model), don’t own one and have no plans too. As far as Apple is concerned it’s not their problem (and they are probably right) and NFL doesn’t care. So my advice is get a Roku, even if it’s just for NFL plus, it works good on that device, very good.

Genaro, Thanks for the try.


NFL Premium Problem. Help Somebody.

I've re-installed, reset passwords, resubscribed, and used Chrome and Safari to activate, but still nothing. When I hit the "RESTORE PURCHASES" in NFL App, I continually get "Can't Find Your Subscription."


I reached out to NFL Premium Support, they Suck!!! Take days tor replay, with default directions to re-install.


No support. BUT THEY WANT MY MONEY! I can't believe this is happening during the best DEC/JAN football time. So ******.

Thanks for the posts, everyone. That helps me know that I’m not crazy and not stupid either. When I try to stream from my 4K AppleTV my NFL+ app sits on a black screen also and I cannot get any game to play. Sometimes AirPlay isn’t even available so I use Screen Mirroring from my iPad. It’s great as a workaround.


NFL+, please get your sh** together especially when you’re charging $80/year and your customers have to figure out a workaround just to watch a game.

Half way through the season and the NFL app on an M1 Apple TV won’t stream old games with an NFL+ subscriptions. It seems to connect but the stream never starts and sits on a black screen. This happens on 2 M1 Apple TV 4 K I own but the issue does not occur on an older Apple TV 4K, not an Amazon fire stick, nor a Roku, nor an Xbox. Yes I’ve logged out, Pierre cycled, reloaded the app, everything and nothing works expect live streams. This doesn’t give me much confidence I’d Apple lands sunday ticket next year
