Sports streaming bundles are on the rise, and Comcast is now joining the game. Launching Thursday, the company is offering Xfinity Sports & News TV, a new package that includes more than 50 channels and an ad-supported Peacock Premium subscription for $70. Viewers can watch live NFL, MLB, NHL, MLB and college games along with TV shows and feature films. The price is the same as DirecTV's brand-new MySports streaming offering which provides programming from ABC, Fox, NBC, ESPN, TNT and more.
What comes with the Xifnity bundle? Available for new and existing Xfinity customers, it includes 300 hours of DVR. Subscribers get access to local broadcasts such as ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and Telemundo along with a selection of news channels like CNBC, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. Sports fans can stream a lineup of networks that includes ACC, ESPN, SEC Network, Big Ten and FS1. Additionally, the package has a roster of 100-plus FAST channels. Though the $70 pricing is for internet customers, it should be noted that if you don't have Xfinity internet, the cost of the Sports & TV package is $90 per month.
The added perk of getting Peacock means fans can watch the platform's originals, theatrical releases from Universal, and content from NBC, Bravo, WWE and more. Peacock Premium alone is $8 monthly or $80 per year.
Xfinity customers have other options such as the StreamSaver bundle or access to a free Peacock subscription. If you're not an Xfinity subscriber but want to check out other streaming packages, there's the new Starz and Max bundle, an upcoming sports platform from Fubo, a Max-Disney-Plus-Hulu bundle and a selection of streaming deals.
