Elevate Your Olympic Viewing Experience with Xfinity X1

It’s a pretty well-known fact around my house that when the Olympics come around every two years, I am all in! I love every second of the games. I love the thrill of the victory, seeing which favorite will live up to the glory and which underdog will steal the glory. I actually have a countdown on my phone as to how many days until the Rio 2016 Summer Games begin. Did you know you can Elevate Your Olympic Viewing Experience with Xfinity X1?

I was recently invited to attend a Philadelphia Phillies game to hear about the amazing Olympic features of Xfinity X1. This summer in Rio, NBCUniversal will have more coverage than ever. Eleven networks. 6,000 hours. 306 events. Everything live-streamed. And nobody brings the stories of these remarkable athletes to life like NBCUniversal.

Xfinity X1 is your front row seat to the 2016 Rio Olympics. It is the ultimate Olympics destination, uniting all of NBCUniversal’s award-winning Olympics coverage – including 1,000 hours of live programming airing across 9 of NBCUniversal’s broadcast and cable networks, 650 hours of on demand programming and 4,500 hours of NBC Sports app streaming content – all in one place. Customers can access Front Row to Rio from the main menu (accessed by pressing the Xfinity key) or Xfinity On Demand sections of the guide, under “TV” and “Sports.” Hello! That’s a whole lotta Olympics coverage – all in one convenient place! This gets me so excited.
