Xfinity Channel Lineup

You don’t wanna sign up for an Xfinity cable TV package without first ensuring that it has the live and HD channels you wanna watch. Don’t worry, ‘cause CableTV.com has your back. Take my hand, and we’ll check out the Xfinity TV channel lineups—together.

Xfinity’s advertises 125–140+ channels in Starter, 200–220+ in Preferred, and 220–260+ in Premier.

Why the number ranges? Because Xfinity’s channel counts vary with your region. What’s with the plus symbols? Xfinity guarantees a certain number of channels, so 220+ means you’ll get at least that many channels plus—possibly—more.

That’s why, currently, Preferred and Premier have the same 288 channels. So of course you should get Preferred because you’ll get the same channels at a better price. And that’ll leave you with extra money for Xfinity’s premium networks and add-on channel packs, which we cover down the page.

Popular channels available with Xfinity TV

All three of Xfinity’s TV packages have all 30 of most-watched TV channels according to *Variety¹.

Note: Xfinity does not list Adult Swim as a separate channel because it airs on Cartoon Network. Variety separates the two networks in its rankings. So although you won’t see Adult Swim in Xfinity channel lineups, rest assured that it’s there—as Cartoon Network.
