Hotstar Not Working in Canada

First of all, Hotstar is available in Canada so you can use it from your location without any issues.

But if in case you are from Canada and having some issues with Hotstar then it’s possible that Hotstar is having some issues right down with their system or there are some temporary issues with your device/app/internet which is causing the error.

Below in this post, we are going to share possible workarounds which you can try to resolve the error with Hotstar.


How To Fix If Disney+ Hotstar Not Working in Canada?


Fix 1: Ensure Your Internet Is Working

Before trying anything please make sure your internet is working without any issues.

  • First, restart your home internet by powering off your router and then powering it on after 2 to 3 minutes.
  • If you are using Hotstar on your mobile with your mobile data then turn on the flight mode and turn it off.
  • If the error still persists then go to any internet speed test website and test your internet connection speed. If your internet is slow then you need to get in touch with your ISP, or need to connect over any other internet connection.
  • If your internet is working without any issues but the error is still coming then connect with any other Wifi connection or a mobile hotspot to check if it fixes the issues or not.

Fix 2: Check Hotstar Server Status

If this is not your internet then most probably Hotstar is overloaded with traffic and as a result, Hotstar servers are not working properly. It happens when there is any cricket match going on, or if there is any other big event getting broadcast.

There are a few ways to check the server status of Hotstar.

  • You can go to Hotstar’s social media accounts and check if Hotstar has posted about any know issues with their system or if they are under maintenance.
