Disappointment Over Loss of NFL Network & RedZone — Considering Leaving Xfinity

I’ve been a loyal customer of for years, largely because of access to NFL Network and RedZone. Losing those channels is extremely disappointing and makes me question the value of staying.

This is a big part of why I’ve continued paying for your service, and without it, I’m seriously considering exploring other providers that offer what I actually watch. Xfinity should be doing more to keep their customers happy, especially when it comes to key channels like these.

I’m undecided whether to wait and see if this gets resolved, but it may be time for me to move on.

The concern is not related to Xfinity Compliments................... Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hello @Miguel650, 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.

I too have been a loyal customer of Comcast. Every year my rates go up and the service keeps revolving into a less than desirable format. I am now paying THREE TIMES what I paid six years ago but have less choices of programs. I too am actively searching for another company to go to. I have been loyal to Comcast but considering what I have lost in the past and am now paying for much less I have no choice but to seek greener pastures.

The combination of the contract disputes between Xfinity/Comcast, Scripps, which carries my local CBS programming, and Disney/ESPN which carries the NFL Network also has me now looking at other providers. I've been a loyal Comcast/Xfinity customer for decades. If this dispute does not end by the time my next payment comes due, and no solution appears imminent, then I will initiate a change to another provider, which will also include internet.

I agree. It might be time to end my relationship with Xfinity. After paying extremely high prices for years now and spending 1000’s on cable TV every year, losing one of my favorite channels might be the last straw.

Fortunately these negations are ongoing during the off season, @user_0nquwk. Comcast is actively working towards a solution that works across the board.

I have been a customer for more than 20 years, paying increasingly ridiculous bundle costs for years.  Disney bought Hulu form Comcast for almost $9 billion.  To have Xfinity quibble about cost of NFL Network and RedZone - 2 of my favorite stations - is mind boggling.  How are these decisions made without consultation of users who pay for expected services!  I would be fired in an hour if I ran my business like this.  I am seriously considering dumping the product and go to all streaming services.  Treating customers like trash is going to directly impact the bottom line, if that is what they are looking to protect.

The customer is always considered in these decisions, @user_oh199y. While this is inconvenient for the moment it is very important that Comcast makes the right choices in these agreements to limit price changes as much as possible. There have been many changes over the past year that have impressed many of us along the way. The newer plans have created a simpler and cheaper billing scenario in many cases. I look forward to seeing this trend expand over the coming years. We'll just have to keep our eyes peeled for any new developments on the NFL front ahead of the season.

@user_9rymhi If no new contract is reached Xfinity will typically review compensation for impacted customers. Once that takes place customer are notified of any credits they will receive due to the loss of channels.

A couple things here, why are you guys ditching/not broadcasting NFL Network and channel 655 Fox (this channel is for local news and broadcasts NFL games during the season.) I have been a customer for over a decade now and was promised these channels to be grandfathered in with my plan (which is almost $300.00 every month. I for see myself cancelling and terminating my subscription soon and using Google fiber for its faster and more reliable services. Y'all just keep on wanting more money from loyal customers with less material, get it together.

Thanks for reaching out about the loss of channels owned by E. W. Scripps and Disney/ESPN, @user_wneroy. This programming is currently unavailable as Comcast’s agreement with the network has expired. Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and, so far a deal has not been proposed that Comcast believes is fair for its customers. Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers. I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges.

I completely agree with you.  We've been customers for over 10 years now and have seen our bill continue to rise every year.  Comcast's 2025 revenue was in excess of $123 billion (that's with a B) and we're supposed to believe they are looking out for their customers? Not likely. Time to cancel and go streaming only.

If anything, Xfinity should be doing something to keep their loyal customers of many years. Instead you only look out for new accounts and don't offer us loyal customers anything. Horrible customer service! Making the decision to leave a lot easier.

My wife and I have been Comcast customers for over 20 years, which makes this situation especially frustrating. We’ve paid consistently high prices for cable and internet, only to see channels like the NFL Network removed without any prior notice. While costs continue to rise, the value of the service keeps declining.

Comcast often says it values its customers, but decisions like this suggest otherwise. Given the significant profits the company has made—especially from long-time, loyal customers—it’s disappointing that it wouldn’t absorb the cost of maintaining the NFL Network rather than passing the impact on to us.

A gesture like that would show genuine appreciation for customer loyalty. Unfortunately, it feels like the focus is more on maximizing profits than on maintaining trust. Unless something changes, we’ll be looking for a better alternative and will leave Comcast as soon as we find one.
