‘Where’s the Big Game?’ 3 Tips to Watch More of Your Favorite Sports, Faster.

Your home stadium deserves better

Finding the game shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt, yet here we are in 2026, toggling between four different apps just to find a kickoff. The good news is that Xfinity is making a play to end that “where’s the game?” chaos by making its broadband internet and streaming TV service into the ultimate sports foundation.

In our 2026 CableTV.com Internet Customer Satisfaction Survey, 75% of Xfinity internet customers were either completely or very satisfied with their service, which helped Xfinity earn Best of the Best honors for cable internet. The results aren’t just about speed; they’re about the reliability required to handle a packed sports calendar without the dreaded buffering wheel.

With “Legendary February” on the horizon, every sports fan’s focus is on the Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games and Super Bowl LX on NBC and Peacock. To help fans out, Xfinity is doubling down on a home internet setup that prioritizes high-performance streaming over traditional, clunky cable bundles.

Here are three tips that’ll get your home stadium rocking in no time.

1. Score an Xfinity 1 Gig internet plan and get free Peacock

If you’re eyeing the 2026 Winter Games, consider getting Peacock free with an Xfinity internet plan to catch every event. Xfinity’s 1 Gig internet plan includes two years of Peacock Premium at no extra cost, which is a sweet $10.99/mo. value, or approximately $265.00 in free entertainment.

To sweeten the pot, Xfinity is throwing in a mobile perk for “Legendary February” fans. All plans, from 300 Mbps to 2 Gig, include one year of Xfinity Mobile Unlimited with zero activation fees, making it easier to check scores when you’re away from the couch.

2. Lock in your rate with the 5-year price guarantee

One of the biggest headaches in home entertainment is the spike in costs after a 12-month honeymoon phase. Xfinity is tackling this frustration head-on with a five-year price guarantee on select internet plans, ensuring your monthly cost stays predictable through 2031.

In particular, we recommend Xfinity’s current Gig internet for $50/mo. for five years promotion. It includes unlimited data and no equipment fees. Not too shabby, eh?

For those who don’t need gigabit speeds, the 300 Mbps plan is a steal at $40/mo. These internet plans are offered with no-term contracts, giving you the flexibility to walk away if your needs change, though the locked-in rate is a strong incentive to stay put.

Beyond the monthly rate, these plans include a 30-day risk-free trial period to test the network’s mettle during live broadcasts.

3. Upgrade your stream with the Xfinity X1 box and RealTime4K

The Xfinity X1 box remains the gold standard for fans who want it all. The platform now features multiview capabilities and an Odds Zone, which can come in clutch for tracking the action-packed Xfinity Olympics schedule.

Some of the biggest frustrations for sports fans are the social media spoiler or hearing your neighbor cheer 30 seconds before the goal happens on your screen. Xfinity’s new RealTime4K technology addresses this head-on, delivering ultra-low latency up to 30 seconds faster than rival streaming providers.

In fact, our reviewer, Mia Carter, a real Xfinity customer, liked her internet so much that she hooked it up with an Xfinity cable TV plan:

“I was so pleased with Xfinity’s internet speed, overall performance, and pricing that I ditched DIRECTV and opted to bundle Xfinity cable TV service—I’m also piggybacking on the internet service for streaming.”

Not only that, but Reddit users and tech forums note that 5G home internet often stutters during peak live events. In contrast, Xfinity’s fiber-powered network—which uses a robust backbone to feed your coaxial home connection—is built to handle the high bitrates required for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos broadcasts.
