@XfinityVictor I have Xfinity X1 premier Double play. I watched Mariners games on Root Sports last year. Will I be able to watch Mariners TV on channel 1261?
Hi @tgscript, please keep in mind that using all caps is a violation of the community forums guidelines. You can view the community forums guidelines by clicking here. Root Sports Northwest shutdown in September 2025 which was how in-market Mariners fans would catch games with Xfinity. At this time there is currently not a way for in-market Mariners fans to watch home games, but it does look like Mariners.TV was released just to fill that hole. Out of market Mariners fans can subscribe to MLB extra innings, do you happen to know which category you fall into?
Oh no, @tgscript your good. Do you have any further questions or concerns I can assist you with today?-Richard

There is suppose to be a Mariners TV channel operated by MLB similar to the San Diego Padres channel. The channel probable won't start until the regular season. According to the Mariners an announcement which cable and satellite companies will carry the channel will be made prior to that depending on coming to carriage agreements with the various companies and negotiations for carriage agreements can be difficult. Xfinity has been known to be difficult in those negotiations.
Exactly! Friends who subscribed to root sports last year have the new channel appearing in their lineup, and should be able to watch the game tonight. I can't find any place in my Xfinity account that shows which "tier" I have, and how to upgrade.
I'm going to walk into the Xfinity store today and see if I can do it there.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to reach out. That makes sense, and I’m glad you’re checking today.

One great way to check the channel tier you have is by visiting this great channel lineup link here. That said, stopping by the Xfinity store is also a good move.

We checked 1261 and it says it is not available. My husband is on the phone with Xfinity now-for 30 minutes and nothing resolved. Why does this have to be so difficult? now they say we have to rent a tv box for 15$ a month. We do not need it for anything else we do. $$$$$$ to them. Very unhappy and may do Mariners Tv.
Comcast pays networks and station owners for the ability to deliver their programming to its customers. And Comcast negotiates deals to bring our customers the best value for the content they love. For more information, see xfinity.com/howitworks Several MLB Teams games are no longer available on Xfinity TV. Xfinity is in discussions with MLB to get these games back on Xfinity TV.

Good afternoon user_2781gu. Have you already attempted to use your Xfinity Voice remote to say Mariners into it? That will bring up any available content pertaining to the team, such as games that are on, or upcoming, or channels that may be airing their games. Please let me know if this helps.

I also need help with this, so someone please reach out so I can send you a message. 1261 shows up but it says I need to subscribe. I got an email from Xfinity that says it is included in my plan. Please help.
@D-man Are you able to access the 1261 channel in the Xfinity Stream app?

Hello @D-man, thank you for the post. Since they can be different depending on location, what network is channel 1261?

Thank you for providing that info and the link. It does mention that SEAM is finally available to our customers again, it also states some troubleshooting steps that you may find helpful:
If the channel you want isn’t on the on-screen guide, try restarting your TV Box. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to have an agent refresh your account. Reach out with Xfinity Assistant. It may be that you need to swap your Xfinity equipment and/or change your TV package to include TV Premium or Ultimate TV.
Please try those, and if they do not work, we will try next steps.

I tried to watch the Mariners game today but channel 1261 says that the next game I can watch is Saturday. They are playing as I type this... The email which says the Mariners games are included in my subscription and to go to channel 1261 says I can also watch on xfinity.com/stream. When I go there, I'm prompted to subscribe to 'Friday Night Baseball' on Apple TV. It's looking like we're only going to be able to watch a subset of the Mariners games this season. Is there any way I can get a schedule of the games that we will be able to watch?
Usually, when a game is picked up by a national partner like Apple or Peacock as an exclusive national broadcast, it is blacked out on local channels, MyAccountXZ.
