About Hulu outages
Hulu carries two quite different products under one app: On-demand streaming and Hulu + Live TV. The live tier depends on real-time channel delivery and regional broadcast rights, and it fails far more often than the on-demand catalogue.
The common patterns are error code RUNUNK13 for playback problems, P-DEV320 for a device or network issue, and live channels that show "This channel is not available" while on-demand plays normally. Because Hulu now shares an account system with Disney+, a sign-in incident affects both. Advertising is served by a separate ad system, and an ad server failure can stall playback at a break even though the video itself is available - A distinctive symptom where content freezes exactly at the same timestamp every attempt. Hulu has no public status page.
What to do if Hulu is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached hulu.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Write the error code down before retrying. Streaming apps show genuinely diagnostic codes, and they are the fastest route to knowing whether the fault is your account, your network or the service.
How streaming services typically fail
Browsing works, playback does not. An error code appears rather than a blank screen, and it is often the most useful thing on the page. Downloads already on the device keep playing, which is a strong signal the fault is in delivery. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our streaming status page, with more background in what error codes mean.
The link below unfurls into a live card showing the verdict, so whoever you send it to sees the evidence rather than your word for it.

Hulu measured against its peers
How it compares with other streaming services
Over the last 30 days Hulu ranks 6 of 6 streaming services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Hulu sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is YouTube.
On speed, Hulu answers our checks in about 702 ms against a category average of 414 ms - Slower than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 324 ms and the slowest 1172 ms, against a 30-day average of 702 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every streaming service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
Hulu status: Common questions
Is Hulu down right now?
Hulu is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Hulu when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Hulu?
Hulu has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Hulu have an official status page?
Hulu does not publish a public status page, which is why independent monitoring and user reports are the only external signal available during an incident.
