Understanding NPO connection and service problems
NPO.nl is a portal for public broadcasting, while NPO Start provides programme playback. The official NPO Start guidance covers television pairing codes, app login and Plus-account questions.
The checker above requests npo.nl from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual NPO action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
For separate news & media services, compare these individual checks: Videoland status check, RTL status check, Viaplay status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

NPO status information and official help
Open npo.nl
Open the website in your browser and compare it with the result above. This link opens the service, not its status page.
We have not linked a separate status page for this service. Check the official help page for current notices.
Where to report problems with NPO
Open NPO help / reporting. Use the contact, technical-help or account route described there. Sign-in, support entitlement and available channels can vary; a public community discussion is not a private support ticket.
Details to include in your report
Programme and episode, device, login or playback step, error code and time; never include a pairing code in a public report.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to NPO.
What to check when NPO is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that NPO is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Identify whether you are browsing npo.nl, starting a programme in NPO Start or entering a pairing code on a television. Compare the exact programme on another supported device.
Narrow down the affected service
For a pairing failure, use the code shown in the current television session. For an unavailable programme, check its availability information rather than interpreting every missing title as a website outage.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if NPO is down
- Identify NPO Start.
- Compare the programme.
- Check the current pairing session.
- Open NPO Start help.
Use the comparison and support guidance above for the specific action. Keep the original check and error timestamps together; a cached result can be older than the problem you are seeing.
A useful comparison for NPO
Repeat the same action in a second browser or on another available connection, keeping the item and account the same. Change one thing at a time so the result is comparable. Leave required workplace or school security controls in place.
Follow the website troubleshooting guide for connection checks. Preserve any unsent work before refreshing a form or changing a session.
