“With Sports & News TV, we’ve brought together top networks for live sports and news and Peacock, the best streaming service for sports fans, to create a new video bundle packed with the best content at an unbeatable price, all accessible within a premium viewing experience that makes it easy for customers to find the content they care about most,” said John Dixon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment, Comcast.

“Sports & News TV is a terrific option for customers looking for a great value in entertainment without sacrificing their favorite live sports and news channels,” he added.
It’s $70/month when combined with Xfinity Internet, a price tag that directly competes with YouTube TV ( $82.99/month) and Disney’s Hulu + Live TV ($81.99/month), saving customers $150/year over YouTube TV.
The package includes local ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo and Univision broadcast channels; national news channels like CNBC, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC; and live-coverage sports channels including ESPN, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, FS1, Golf Channel and SEC Network, Variety reported.
Xfinity customers can customize their packages to “suit their unique needs.”
“Xfinity customers have the option to combine some packages together so they can build an entertainment bundle to suit their unique needs,” the streaming giant explained. “For example, Sports & News TV customers looking for more live sports can add the More Sports & Entertainment package that includes channels like NFL RedZone, NFL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV and NHL Network for an additional $9.95 per month. For an additional $15, they can add Xfinity StreamSaver with Netflix and Apple TV+ to enjoy more of their favorite streaming entertainment.”
