Days after the 2023 NFL Draft, NFL Network has gone dark on Comcast’s Xfinity cable systems in an apparent carriage dispute.
Xfinity customers who flip to the channel receive a message on-screen that reads, “Our programming agreement with NFL Network has expired. As a result, this channel is currently unavailable through Xfinity and Comcast Business.”
Multiple Comcast customers have reported receiving an email from Comcast that includes the above statement as well as an addendum that NFL Red Zone would be impacted should this dispute extend until football season.
“We know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and we apologize for the inconvenience,” the email says. “We are committed to bringing you the entertainment you love, and we have made reasonable offers that NFL Network has not accepted.”
The Post has reached out to NFL Network for comment.
NFL Network programming includes “Good Morning Football,” a number of exclusive games during the season, NFL Draft coverage and myriad documentaries.
In March, The Post reported that NFL Media, the division of the league that has NFL Network under its umbrella, was bracing for major cost cuts.
Since then, talents such as Rachel Bonnetta and Jim Trotter have exited the network.
