MLB Extra Innings

It is still about 7 weeks until the baseball season starts but I am wondering if the MLB Extra Innings pay for view package be available on Xfinity for the 2026 MLB season.  The Extra Innings channels are still in the channel lineup and in past years I have received a letter from Xfinity telling me that I am being automatically renewed as I had subscribed to the pay for view package last season. So far no letter and I wondering.

seattle4sports, hello there and thanks for reaching out! I totally understand your concerns and that need of seeing it! I will say, I have not personally seen anything as of yet, but I do know the site is still up but is reflecting 2025 instead of 2026. However, being a company in entertainment, there's not a doubt that we would not have it. That is amazing as far as the autorenew, but in the event it does not, we can help with adding that package to your package or you're able to take the lead by visiting this website >> link. Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Following this post.

Also wondering if there will be an Xfinity purchase option for my home team (Seattle Mariners) to add to MLB Extra Innings. Root Sports which carried the M’s last year is no longer available. And it looks like there will be a streaming option, but anything on cable tv?

When the Mariners announced their streaming plans for the 2026 season they also said there would be a Mariners TV channel operated by MLB and that MLB is negotiating with cable companies including Xfinity for carriage agreements to carry the channel.  The channel would have the games and pre- and post-game shows but no other programming. This would be similar to what other MLB teams have like the Padres whose games are produced by MLB. The channel may not be available for spring training games but should be for the regular season if carriage agreements can be reached in time and sometimes that doesn't happen. 

A good example of that was with the B10 network when several Huskies football games at the start of the 2024 season were blacked out by Xfinity because of a disagreement between the B10 network and Xfinity on the carriage agreement. With the season the Mariners had in 2025 and the high expectations for the 2026 season you would hope that Xfinity will come to a carriage agreement for the Mariners channel but Xfinity has been playing hard ball with Regional Sports Networks the last couple of years by moving them to their most expensive tiers which they did with Root Sports a couple of years ago.

seattle4sports Thanks for the reply. I do recall the B1G network negotiations with Xfinity and not being able to watch the first few Huskies games. Hopefully they’ll reach an agreement before the MLB regular season begins.

The question wasn't about the cost of Extra Innings but will there be an Extra Innings pay-for-view package for the 2026 season. The reason is that MLB signed a contract with ESPN that has ESPN taking over MLB-TV and giving ESPN the rights to stream the games of many MLB teams. At the time this contract was announced there was a report that Extra Innings would continue but since that time there is uncertainty if that was correct.  The Extra Innings channels are still in the channel lineup but no announcement if the Extra Innings will be available for the upcoming season.
