Bally Sports Not On Comcast Xfinity

     Comcast Xfinity cable television systems throughout the United States no longer carried Bally Sports regional sports networks as of May 1. That included Bally Sports Florida and Bally Sports Sun in South Florida. 

     Several channels on Xfinity mentioned that they no longer have the rights to continue carrying Bally Sports content. It was stated that Diamond Sports Group did not accept any of the options that Comcast proposed to them. 

     Many South Florida sports fans and followers will be impacted. The Miami Heat postseason game against the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals was not available on Bally Sports Sun on Wednesday. Neither was the Miami Marlins regular season game versus the Colorado Rockies on Bally Sports Florida. 

     If this situation continues, some local cable customers will no longer see Marlins games. In addition, postgame studio shows of the Florida Panthers for the remainder of their 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs run will not be shown.
