Negotiating rates. In the meantime do they plan to issue their customers a credit assuming we’re paying for it still while they’re supposedly negotiating
Siromar, Thanks for reaching out about E. W. Scripps (Scripps) programming. Comcast renewed its agreement with Scripps to carry its programming, and, at this time, all content has been restored. You should now be able to watch it as you would normally. Unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and Comcast appreciates your patience as they worked to bring back Scripps’s programming.

You are welcome. You can always keep an eye out here for updates on the ongoing negotiations for any lost channels.

Thanks for reaching out about NFL programming. The agreement to carry NFL Network expired, so it’s no longer available with Xfinity. This includes NFL RedZone and any related Xfinity Stream and On Demand programming.
Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and, so far, Disney/ESPN has not proposed a deal that Comcast believes is fair for its customers. Comcast continues to work toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for its customers.
I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be inconvenient. Thank you for understanding. For more information, you can visit xfinity.com/programmingchanges.
@XfinityJeff You tube tv carries this and has a 3 week free trial after that it is 80$. I am signing up for it. In 3 weeks if NFl network has not been restored i will cancel Comcast TV. Oh and Comcast talking about fairness is laughable
user_fuzzb8 Not at this time. If a new agreement with Disney/ESPN, the owners of NFL Network and NFL RedZone, isn’t reached, the impact on current or future charges will be evaluated.

I wish I could do that, but our Condo Association has a group rate, and Comcast is included in our quarterly association fees; IOW, I can't not pay for the cable service (on top of which, I pay $9.95/month for Comcast's "Sports Entertainment Package", which includes NFL Network, several ESPN channels, and the Tennis Channel). I hate this... first Scripps channels, now this.
I forget a lot of things I want to remember, and remember a lot of things I want to forget.

Here we go again with Xfinity dropping the ball and the customers are left behind to pick up the pieces. Tonight I want to watch the NFL Network, a channel I pay extra for the privilege to watch and is not available on the night the NFL releases their 2026 schedule.
@machado22 On Thursday, April 30 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), Comcast’s agreement to carry NFL Network and NFL RedZone expired. As a result, this programming is no longer available with Xfinity or Comcast Business, including any related programming on Xfinity Stream and On Demand. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience I watch NFL Network as well. As a friendly reminder NFL coverage is available on FS1 (Fox Sports 1) with The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and with shows like Sports Center on ESPN or ESPN2. Xfinity TV customers who have ESPN as part of their TV package have access to the ESPN Unlimited tier of the ESPN app as part of their service (activation may be required). In addition, Comcast offers a range of similar, alternative content. Free streaming services, like Xumo Play, Pluto TV, and others, offer a wide variety of sports and entertainment programming. Paid subscription streaming services, like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video, offer TV shows, sports.

Training camps are starting, the season is around the corner... let's get this done Comcast! I really don't want to switch providers, but this would be a deal breaker.
Ditto. I left fios to get xfinity. I really hate to go back. I do think Disney is right. The nfl network should be part of the standard sports package. not red zone, I will pay to get red zone for the season.
Hello, @user_3 thank you for taking time to reach out over Xfinity Forums. I'm eagerly awaiting an agreement as well, during the NFL season our fantasy football league all takes turns with people hosting watch parties on Sunday's and I try not to miss a Thursday game.
The best place to watch for updates on the negotiation and agreements is here: https://www.xfinity.com/howitworks/ > then select the hyperlink for the recent program changes.

Thank you @user_gdrj2 for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on the Xfinity Community Forums. To be fair, I don't want to miss any games I want to watch either! 💯
We understand how important NFL programming is to many of our customers, and we truly appreciate your feedback.
Please know that we're actively working toward bringing NFL content back before the upcoming season. We recognize how much our customers value access to their favorite teams and games, and we understand the frustration and disappointment that uncertainty around this content can cause.

This is as bad as Democrats and Republicans agreeing on something. It’s all about the almighty dollar. One says not enough and the other says to much. I realize there’s more to it than that, but it was part of the programming and it seems like Disney and Xfinity could have started working on a new contract way before this one expired. Then we possibly could still be watching the NFL Network instead of moaning about something that should have never happened in the first place.

NFL Network is probably our most-watched channel. Since it is unavailable, should we expect a credit on our next bill?

Must be nice to be a customer, huh?

Can I expect NFL Network to be restored soon? Will I get a credit on my account since this is what I pay extra for?
