Put Wild+ on my Xfinity Package
I am writing to express my extreme frustration regarding the lack of coverage for Minnesota Wild hockey games on Xfinity this season. Like many local fans, I specifically subscribe to an upgraded TV package to ensure I have access to local Minnesota sports teams.
Previously, we were able to watch these games without issue. However, with the transition away from FanDuel Sports Network North and the launch of the new Wild+ network, Xfinity has failed to secure a carriage agreement. Being told by support to look into alternative options or streaming services is incredibly disappointing, especially given the high monthly cost of our existing packages.
We are paying premium prices for sports entertainment, yet we are being left in the dark for our local home team. Many of us are fiercely loyal to local sports, but the ongoing trend of losing access to major regional games makes it incredibly difficult to justify keeping an Xfinity TV subscription.
When is Xfinity going to finalize a deal to bring the Minnesota Wild games back to our channel lineup? We deserve a better solution than being forced to pay for external streaming platforms on top of our already expensive cable bills.

@user_jvztqeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I completely understand how important it is to have access to your favorite local teams, especially when sports programming is an important part of the TV package you subscribe to. We know how much local sports matter to fans, and we appreciate you letting us know how important having the Wild’s local games available through Xfinity is to you. At this time, we do not have an agreement in place to carry the Minnesota Wild’s local game broadcasts.
