Wild hockey Games Fall of 2026 - 2027

We subscribe to one of the upper tiers of Xfinity TV because it was required to watch the Twins, Wild, Timber wolves, etc. Since that time the Twins have moved to a new channel, and the Wild does not appear to be on Xfinity anymore (Don't know about Wolves). Is Xfinity going to make the Wild available on another channel (like the twins) or are they just going to not carry the Wild anymore? If they have dropped the Wild, I would expect a reduction in the monthly subscription we are paying?

Thank you for reaching out, @TimDH . We understand your concern, especially since you subscribe to a higher TV package to watch local Minnesota sports teams.

The Minnesota Wild recently announced new viewing options, including the Wild+ streaming service and distribution through select television providers. At this time, we do not have any information regarding additional Xfinity channel availability for Wild games. If channel agreements or availability change, updates will be communicated through official Xfinity channels.

Previously, games aired on FanDuel Sports Network North, which was available on Xfinity's Ultimate TV package, which we upgraded to for the Twins and Wild games. Now the Twins are on a separate channel (which is available on the Ultimate TV package), but you are telling us we still pay for the Ultimate tier, but we need to pay another $20 a month to see Wild games via a different method (wild.tv)? Xfinity should be reimbursing customers $20 a month to cover the cost of the Wild.tv subscription, at least during the hockey season. Xfinity needs to keep up with the changing markets or make adjustments to their TV packages.

I do apologize for the frustration, @TimDH . At this time, we do not have an agreement with Wild.tv, and programming decisions made by sports leagues, teams, or third-party streaming providers are outside of Xfinity's control. I understand your concern, especially since you upgraded to the Ultimate TV package specifically to watch Minnesota Twins and Wild games. When content moves from a traditional television network to a separate streaming platform, customers may need to subscribe directly to that service to continue accessing the broadcasts. We certainly value your feedback regarding the added cost and the impact these changes have on customers. I'll make sure your concerns are documented, as we understand how disappointing it can be when programming you've historically received through your TV package becomes available through a separate paid service. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. ❤️

Just so we all know the greed is not just on the part of Xfinity:

For comparison, the Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks games are included free with a standard Prime membership — the Wild chose the paid add-on model instead.

Personally, I won't be watching the Wild this year. I guess if you live in the state of Hockey you are expected to pay more to watch the pros.

This may put me over the edge to dump cable tv through Xfinity. My Tivo is no longer supported and was FAR FAR superior to comcast's dvr. I pay $100 for 1 gig internet and can not get 1 gig through Tmobile for $50. At some point, it is just time to cut the cord. Paying over $300 per month in TV and Internet and can not get my local hockey team's games? Xfinity, this really make no sense.

Moving off Xfinity internet was my first step in eliminating all Xfinity services. I am on T-Mobile fiber internet (2G down, 2G up) for less than I was paying Xfinity for 800MB down, 12MB up. I have been on T-Mobile for 1 year now, there have been ZERO outages, slow downs, modem reboots, etc.

Now I am working on Xfinity TV, which my wife does not want to move away from. I am hoping this MN Wild fiasco will be the final straw that gets us off Xfinity and on to the future.

I already pay a ton in order to get local sports teams on xfinity.  If they aren't going to include it in their premium packages for no extra cost, then I want xfinity to give me a monthly discount of $19.99 to pay for Prime Video access.
