What should I do if Pandora is down for me?

Try a different title before assuming the service is down. A single video that will not start is usually a rights or encoding problem with that title, not an outage. Test the browser and the TV app separately. Living-room apps ship on their own release schedule and break independently of the website. Restart the streaming device rather than the app. Set-top boxes and smart TVs hold stale DNS and tokens for far longer than a phone does. Turn off any VPN. Streaming services actively block known VPN exit nodes, and the resulting error looks identical to an outage.

Over the last 7 days, Pandora has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~38 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-10-30 00:51 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Pandora streams algorithmic radio stations and on-demand music in the US. Station generation and audio delivery are separate, so stations that will not build is a different fault from audio that will not play.

Is Pandora down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Pandora normally right now, and it answered our last one in 21ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
