ABC Network support can help viewers report ABC.com streaming problems, television-provider login issues, programming feedback, closed-captioning concerns, voting or contest problems and other technical issues. ABC does not currently publish one general viewer-support phone number, so most questions should begin through the official ABC Help Center.
How to Contact ABC Network Customer Service
- ABC Help Center: ABC technical help and programming feedback
- Technical-support request: Submit an ABC support request
- Programming feedback: Submit comments about an ABC program
- General customer-service phone: ABC does not currently publish one universal viewer-support number.
- General customer-service email: ABC does not publish one direct email address for every viewer issue.
- Live chat: ABC does not currently advertise a universal public live-chat service.
- Support hours: ABC does not publish one universal response schedule for online requests.
- Official website: ABC.com
- ABC Entertainment address: 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521
- ABC News correspondence: ABC News, 47 West 66th Street, New York, NY 10023
- Parent company: The Walt Disney Company
- Disney corporate phone: 1-818-560-1000
The Disney corporate telephone number is not ordinary ABC streaming or programming support. It generally cannot troubleshoot ABC.com, reset a television-provider password, restore a local channel or answer questions about a particular episode.
The ABC App Has Been Discontinued
The standalone ABC app for mobile devices and connected televisions was discontinued on September 23, 2024.
Viewers can still watch ABC programming through options such as:
- ABC.com
- A participating cable, satellite or streaming-TV provider
- Hulu for eligible on-demand programming
- ABC News and the separate ABC News app
- A local ABC television station
- Disney+ or ESPN when a particular program is offered there
Deleting and reinstalling an old ABC app will not restore service. Use ABC.com in a supported web browser or select another current viewing option.
Best ABC Support Route by Issue

ABC.com Video Will Not Play
Playback may be interrupted by a weak internet connection, browser settings, blocked cookies, an unsupported browser, network congestion or a television-provider authentication problem.
Try these steps:
- Refresh the video page.
- Confirm that other websites and streaming services work.
- Restart the browser and device.
- Clear the browser cache and cookies.
- Temporarily disable an ad blocker or privacy extension that may prevent the player from loading.
- Update the browser to a current version.
- Sign out of ABC and the television provider, then sign back in.
- Try another supported browser or device.
- Restart the modem and router when the connection is unstable.
- Submit a technical-support request if the problem continues.
ABC.com Is Stalling, Choppy or Buffering
Video quality can be affected by network congestion, a slow wireless connection or too many devices using the same internet service.
- Pause other large downloads or streams.
- Move closer to the Wi-Fi router.
- Use a wired connection when available.
- Restart the modem and router.
- Close unused browser tabs and applications.
- Test the stream on another device.
- Check whether the internet provider is experiencing an outage.
If one program fails while other ABC videos work normally, include the program title, episode and time in the support request.
Sign In With a Television Provider
Some full episodes and livestreams on ABC.com require a subscription with a participating television provider.
- Open ABC.com.
- Select Log In.
- Select Link TV Provider.
- Choose the television provider.
- Enter the provider username and password.
- Return to the program or livestream.
The television-provider login is normally the same account used to manage cable, satellite or streaming-TV service. ABC does not create or reset that provider password.
TV-Provider Login Is Not Working
Contact the television provider when:
- The username or password is forgotten.
- The account is locked.
- The ABC channel is not included in the package.
- The subscription is inactive or past due.
- The provider does not appear in ABC’s supported list.
Contact ABC technical support when valid provider credentials work on the provider’s own website but fail specifically on ABC.com.
Why Is ABC Live TV Unavailable?
Live ABC availability can depend on:
- The viewer’s location
- The local ABC affiliate
- The television provider
- Streaming and distribution agreements
- Program-specific rights
- Sports blackouts
- Local emergency or weather coverage
ABC Network support cannot always override a local affiliate schedule or a provider’s channel authorization.
Contact a Local ABC Station
Contact the local affiliate for:
- Over-the-air reception
- Local channel availability
- Local newscasts and weather coverage
- Local commercials
- Station contests
- Local program substitutions
- Transmitter work
- Local closed-captioning problems
ABC affiliates may be owned by Disney or by an independent broadcasting company. The local station often controls its newsroom, local schedule, transmitter and advertising.
Submit ABC Programming Feedback
Programming feedback can include opinions about:
- A television series or episode
- Program cancellation or renewal
- Hosts and presenters
- Schedule changes
- News or entertainment coverage
- Contest or voting procedures
- Content warnings
- Accessibility
Use the programming-feedback form rather than the technical-support form when the issue is an opinion about content rather than a website malfunction.
Keep feedback concise and identify the program, episode date, local station and specific concern. ABC may review programming comments without providing an individual response.
ABC News Contact Information
ABC News uses separate contact routes for news programs, ABCNews.com technical issues, advertising, transcripts and newsroom feedback.
- ABC News contact page: Choose an ABC News program or inquiry
- ABC News mailing address: ABC News, 47 West 66th Street, New York, NY 10023
- ABC News technical support: Use the ABC support form and select the ABC News category.
Do not use a general viewer-feedback form for an emergency report. Contact local emergency services or the appropriate local newsroom when immediate action is required.
ABC Closed-Captioning Support
Include:
- Program name
- Episode or broadcast date
- Time and time zone
- Local ABC station
- Television provider
- Whether the program was live, recorded or streamed
- Description of missing, delayed, inaccurate or garbled captions
- Device and browser for online video
FCC Closed-Captioning Complaints
A viewer may submit an eligible captioning complaint to the television distributor, streaming provider or Federal Communications Commission.
Captioning complaints may be subject to filing deadlines. Preserve the program, date, time, station, provider and description of the problem.
ABC Audio Description
ABC provides audio-described programming for viewers who are blind or visually impaired. Audio description is normally accessed through the Secondary Audio Programming setting on a television, receiver or provider device.
Contact the television provider or local station when the secondary audio channel is unavailable. Use ABC programming feedback when the issue appears connected with the program itself.
ABC, Hulu and Disney+ Are Separate Support Systems
ABC is part of The Walt Disney Company, but ABC, Hulu and Disney+ do not use one interchangeable customer-service account.
- ABC.com problem: Contact ABC technical support.
- Hulu subscription, charge or login: Contact Hulu.
- Disney+ subscription, charge or login: Contact Disney+.
- Television-provider billing: Contact the cable, satellite or streaming-TV provider.
Submitting ABC programming feedback does not cancel a Hulu, Disney+ or television-provider subscription.
ABC Privacy Questions
A privacy request is separate from programming feedback, captioning support or television-provider assistance.
