If the SiriusXM app won’t sign you in, keeps buffering, or says content is unavailable, the fixes below usually get you back to listening in a few minutes.

Can’t sign in

1

Check your credentials

Make sure you are using the email and password for your SiriusXM account. If you have multiple email addresses, try the one that receives your SiriusXM billing emails.
2

Reset your password

Tap Forgot password? on the sign-in screen and follow the reset link sent to your email. If you do not see it, check your spam or junk folder.
3

Check for service alerts

Visit the SiriusXM status page or search online for current outages before trying again.

Playback stops or buffers

1

Check your connection

Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if one is faster or more stable. Close other apps that may be using bandwidth.
2

Lower stream quality

In the app, go to Settings and reduce the audio quality to use less data and improve stability on slower connections.
3

Restart the app

Fully close the SiriusXM app, then reopen it and try the channel again.

Content unavailable or missing channels

Some channels require a specific plan or add-on. If you recently changed your plan, the channel may no longer be included. Review your current plan in Account or online.
Live sports or special events can cause schedule changes. Try again in a few minutes or check the channel guide.
Some content is only available in certain regions. If you are traveling, streaming availability may vary by location.

Update or reinstall the app

1

Check for updates

Open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for SiriusXM. Tap Update if one is available.
2

Restart your device

Power off your phone or tablet completely, then turn it back on.
3

Reinstall if needed

Delete the SiriusXM app, restart your device, then download and install it again from the official store.
Keeping the app updated helps prevent playback and sign-in issues. Enable automatic updates in your device settings if possible.
