ESPN unlimited not working despite xfinity say app saying active

Every time I try to use ESPN unlimited, it says I need to activate ESPN unlimited.  It will not play.  After 10 calls to Xfinity and 3 to ESPN (7 hrs talking to agents), I   have determined:

Xfinity app says that ESPN Unlimited is Active.  ESPN says I am not active under both my personal email and my Comcast email which I use to get on the app.  I have tried on my iPad, iphone, computer, and TV with same result.  Interestingly, the other anomaly is that when I choose the settings app on my tv and look at manage subscriptions, it says I do not have subscriptions through Xfinity.  Which is inconsistent with the xfinity app that says I have espn unlimited and peacock subscriptions.  Peacock Premium works just fine. help!!!!! So frustrated.

No Ethernet access.   When you say access the page, which page?  Manage my subscriptions?

So my story on this is mostly the same as others:

Before Xfinity gave me the ESPN Unlimited offer email and to activate it which occurred in April of 2026 ,I already had a ESPN Plus subscription which was to run from July 2025 to July 2026.  ESPN Plus is a lower tier, and Unlimited you get everything which is a really good deal. 

I had all kinds of problems trying to activate Unlimited. Followed the QR codes, the emails, said it was linked with Xfinity, etc, etc, etc, but yet no Unlimited when I tried to watch it. Just kept kicking me back to the messages, to upgrade to it.  

Then one day after a week of going in and out of the app and the tv, signing in, out, QR codes,, I was finally able to gain access to Unlimited and it worked like a champ.  In May of 2026, I cancelled my ESPN Plus because why pay for a lower tier when I already had Unlimited. Deleted my Disney account as well (which I had when signed up with ESPN Plus way before the Unlimited Package was even introduced).

Never had a problem with getting into ESPN Unlimited since my initial troubles, even after deleting the Disney account, but tonight I went to view it ( Aug 1, 2026) and again I got the messages to access this plan, pay this amount. 

Very aggravating.
