Introduction
The TV shows and movie on XFINITY® TV are provided under licensing rules that can limit the amount of time we offer a video on the site.
Our content team is constantly working to bring you a wider selection of TV Shows and movies. We add new content daily, but due to licensing agreements, we may not have every movie/show/episode available for viewing.

Why are Fox and CW shows not being added the day after they air on TV?
Fox and CW have imposed restrictions regarding when users may view their current content online. As a result, xfinity.com/tv users will have to wait eight days after a Fox or CW program has aired on the television network before they can watch such program on xfinity.com/tv.
Why isn't a movie or TV show available to watch online?
Our content team is constantly working to bring you a wider selection of TV shows and movies. We add new content daily, but due to licensing agreements, we may not have every movie, show, or episode available for viewing.
Why are there advertisements during online videos?
To have the rights to put most shows online, we are required by the owners of those shows to put in ads. In many cases, you will notice that shows watched on TV have many more commercials than the same show we play online.
Some of our premium partners like HBO, Showtime, Encore, Cinemax and Starz are ad-free so you can watch their shows and movies without interruption.
