Comcast is launching a $70 per month “Sports & News TV” streaming bundle featuring live games from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and NCAA. The package, which marks the latest attempt to build out the sports streaming industry, is available to Xfinity Internet subscribers and lets you tune into over 50 news and sports channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, and CNN.

It also comes with a subscription to Peacock, 300 hours of cloud DVR storage, and more than 100 free streaming channels. Though you don’t need Xfinity’s X1 TV box to access the bundle, Comcast says using one will give you access to features like multiview, “enhanced” 4K, and Odds Zone, which displays odds from DraftKings and FanDuel. You can also find the Sports & News TV package from the Xfinity Stream app on mobile and smart TV platforms like Apple TV and Roku.

Additionally, Comcast notes that you can combine the sports streaming subscription with some of the company’s other packages, like the $9.95 per month More Sports & Entertainment package, which comes with channels like NFL RedZone, MLB Network, NBA TV, and NHL Network.

DirecTV similarly launched a $69.99 per month MySports streaming package last week, which — unlike Comcast’s bundle — doesn’t have local CBS content yet and is only available in select cities for now.

These new sports-focused packages could help fill the gap left by Venu, the scrapped live sports streaming service led by ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Fubo is also set to combine with Hulu + Live TV after reaching a settlement with Disney over the launch of Venu. In the absence of a dedicated sports streaming subscription, viewers without cable are left piecing together live games across various services, including Paramount Plus, Peacock, Apple TV Plus, and Max.
