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.

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.

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.

Agreed. About to walk away from xfinity. This is terrible. I only pay for the upgraded packages to watch MN sports. Don't need it anymore if I can't watch MN sports.

(Had to spend an hour, or so, to calm down before I sent this.) I subscribed to NHL Center Ice a few days ago to specifically watch Wild games, then discovered I couldn't watch the game tonight due to 'regional restrictions.' Spent an hour with Comcast/Xfinity rep as she tried to re-send the cable signal - then she said that Wild games are not aired on Comcast/Xfinity due to MN Government rules. Is she correct? If so, WHAT KIND OF NONSENCE IS THIS!? If I subscribe to Prime Video, will I be able to watch Wild games through Xfinity? Probably enough blame to go around with all these guys battling each other for more dollars! Just follow the Twins' example and put the games on one of your 'vacant' channels!!!

The Minnesota Wild and the Minnesota Timberwolves both decided to create their own distribution companies because of all the turmoil that they went through when Bally and FanDual were involved. The Twins did the same thing, but THEY REMAIN on xfinity. Clearly even when those teams were shown directly on xfinity, they were receiving payments from Comcast. I have no problem with the Wild and T-Wolves creating their own distribution means (the Wild uses Prime Video, the T-Wolves are using a streaming service called DAZN). BUT we already PAY Comcast to carry those team feeds. NOW Comcast want to get greedier and create ANOTHER NEW AND MORE COSTLY level that would be require people to pay again for something we already are paying for. I am already paying Comcast a small fortune each month for top-level cable and internet. I am OK if I need to pay the sports teams separately for their games. BUT then Comcast must remove the charges for the Regional Sports Fees. I will not pay them even more to receive what I'm already paying for. There are good reasons why people are leaving xfinity cable in DROVES. I will pay for PRIME Video each season if I must. But not one more dime to Comcast.
