On Xfinity Flex, Comcast will offer streamers a robust X1-like Olympics destination that brings all the Olympics-related programming available to stream on the platform … easily accessible by saying “Olympics” into the Xfinity Voice Remote. Anchoring the destination will be all of Peacock’s live and on-demand programming that’s offered at no extra cost to all Flex customers, which includes six themed channels, live coverage, short form highlights/news and original docuseries/documentaries. Peacock’s programming will be seamlessly curated alongside other Olympic-related programming from streaming services such as YouTube, HBO Max, Prime Video and more.

Flex customers wanting to experience more of the Games can quickly and easily upgrade to Xfinity TV via the Stream App, so they can access NBC’s live coverage, including the Opening Ceremony and nightly Primetime Show, Telemundo and special access to the Olympic Channel directly on their Flex device. Happy Viewing!
