Dear Franchise Administrator:
As part of our ongoing commitment to keep you and our customers informed about
changes to Xfinity TV services, we wanted to update you that Comcast’s right to
continue carrying NFL Network and NFL RedZone expired at 11:59pm Eastern time on
April 30, 2026. As a result, absent a renewal of the agreement, we are not currently
authorized to carry NFL Network and NFL RedZone as part of our lineup.
We always work to reach deals that make sense for our customers. To date,
however, the NFL and Comcast have been unable to reach an agreement to continue
to carry NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
Since we are not currently authorized to carry NFL Network or NFL RedZone, we have
implemented a channel slate (advising of unavailability) on the impacted channels and
have activated www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges to help keep our customers
informed during this period. We will continue to provide updates to you and our
customers as they become available.
Sincerely,
Chris Nelson
Senior Director, SLGA, Local Regulatory Affairs/Franchising
Comcast Cable Communications
