The invention discloses a method and a device for accelerating playing of a single-fragment video. The method comprises the steps of: when intercepting a video playing request sent by a playing end, obtaining a first request time point and a fragment data length of the single-fragment video in the video playing request; starting to download video data from the first request time point of the target single-fragment video, and forwarding the downloaded video data to a playing end for playing in real time; and when the data length of the downloaded video data is equal to the fragment data length, simultaneously downloading and caching one or more data fragments after the data fragment corresponding to the first request time point in the target single-fragment video. According to the method and device provided by the invention, on the basis of ensuring that the playing end plays the single-fragment video data smoothly, downloading and caching of the single-fragment video data are accelerated, the playing end can
