  "account": "MUNICH, Germany - August 28, 2026 - For the first day of the Bundesliga season, Fandango faced challenges in delivering the live broadcast to certain television sets. The streaming app, while working flawlessly on phones and laptops, presented obstacles when attempted on SmartTVs. Users reported a hit or miss experience, particularly with Sony televisions connected to Amazon Fire Sticks. Fandango's FAQ revealed that the TV app might not be operational for many devices. To ensure a smooth experience, users are advised to update the app using their device's app store or delete and reinstall it if issues persist. Fandango acknowledged an issue affecting some LG TV models from 2024 and earlier, and they are actively working on a resolution. No Fandango account is required to watch the matches live, which is free content. The streaming will be available on smartphones, tablets, streaming players, and smart TVs. The estimated release dates for each device are as follows: Web - August 25, Apple iOS & tvOS - August 27, LG TV - August 28, Roku TV - August 25, Hisense TV - August 26, Vizio TV - August 25, PlayStation 5 - August 26, Xfinity - August 26, Xumo - August 26, Samsung Mobile - September 11, Android TV - September 11, Fire TV - September 11, Google Mobile - TBD, Samsung TV - TBD, XBOX - TBD.",
