SiriusXM suffered a widespread streaming outage on November 20, 2025, knocking out app, web, and in-car internet radio access for approximately 51 minutes nationwide, leaving thousands of users unable to listen during peak afternoon hours.
The disruption, which peaked around 1–2 p.m. ET, triggered a surge of complaints on Downdetector and social media, with users reporting errors such as “Check XM tuner,” “Startup Error,” or “You are offline.”
Satellite radio signals in vehicles remained largely unaffected.
Service was fully restored by early evening, though SiriusXM has not publicly explained the cause or issued an official statement.The outage frustrated subscribers, including sports fans trying to access NFL coverage, and highlighted ongoing reliability concerns with the company’s streaming platform. SiriusXM’s stock showed no significant movement despite the incident.
