NHL & NBA

@ThatDonGuy​ Thanks for the info, but I signed in (to make sure it was for my area) and I'm stuck in a "Authenticating" loop and have been in this loop from the moment I signed in. The link may work in your area but it's (apparently) not going to work in mine (NH). I'm a Rangers fan and I went to their channel and they're still showing the schedule for todays preseason games. So maybe I have to wait for the preseason to be completely over. Unless someone from Xfinity answers.

 I checked the Knicks channel and that says go to the website and upgrade but, as mentioned in my original post, I see neither package is being offered yet. I do know they're pushing the hell out of "Max" having various sports including NHL & NBA but of course they want more money for that. 

 I'm kind of waiting to see what my options will be, but thank you for your response.

I'll be adding both also this season. See you on the court and ice!

Hello @user_03b8a8, and thanks for reaching out about the upcoming package releases. The NHL center Ice should be available now for purchase, and the NBA league will be available starting the 17th. Were you able to get the NHL package already?

No, it isn't available on screen or on the xfinity pages. I just checked both a minute ago and nothing. The Rangers channel is still showing yesterdays pre-season schedule. The Knicks (NBA) is still go to xfinity but unless they're very well hidden neither league is available for purchase yet. Whoever gave you the info about this apparently didn't check. Maybe it's in process but there NHL and NBA packages aren't there. (I know you said the 17th for NBA), so at the very least, at this moment, the NHL info is incorrect...and, no personal offense, but I'm not the least bit surprised.

Certainly, if you get any new info, I'd want to know about it. In the meantime I'll keep periodically checking.

On a side note, if the leagues keep portioning at their games to other outlets such as Amazon Prime, Apple and now Max, eventually I'm just going to give up. I would imagine only the very wealthy can afford to keep buying all these extra channels. 

You may be able to link over and add it through our website here: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/digital-cable-tv/sports/nhl/center-ice. The regular season starts Wednesday (10/11), but there is a free preview for pre-season games in effect now. Please let me know if you continue to have issues adding it to your account, and we can take care of it for you directly.

ditto.

same thing every year after years of "it'll be automatic next year!"
