Finding ESPN among the more than a hundred channels Xfinity TV offers can be difficult, especially since there is no exact channel where ESPN is always located. It may vary from region to region. First try these channels: 700, 701 or 1309, 1310. If ESPN is not on them, then move on to this article, and you will find a more detailed list for different regions.

You can use a special tool on the Xfinity website to check exactly where ESPN is in your specific location. You will need to enter your address there, and the system will show you which channels and numbers are available in your home.
