Provides a Seamless Way for Xfinity X1 Customers to Watch and Wager with a Leading Sportsbook, Directly on TV
Comcast announced it has added sports betting odds from FanDuel into Xfinity Odds Zone on Xfinity X1, giving customers more ways to view live odds, game lines and prop bets for major sporting events without having to take their eyes off their TV.
“X1 is the best seat in the house for live sports, and now with FanDuel as part Odds Zone, we’re making it even better by giving fans access to another top sportsbook integrated directly into their viewing experience,” said Vito Forlenza, Vice President, Sports Entertainment, Comcast. “Our entertainment platform makes it easy for customers to find their favorite sports by bringing everything together in one place – whether airing nationally or locally, on broadcast or streaming. And when combined with features like Odds Zone, Enhanced 4K and Multiview, we’re giving our customers the ultimate sports viewing experience.”
With FanDuel on X1, customers can access odds for top leagues, including NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, the PGA TOUR, NCAA football and NCAA men’s and women’s basketball, directly on the TV, side-by-side with live game coverage. Bets can be quickly initiated by scanning a QR code that will add the wager to a FanDuel bet slip on the customer’s mobile device.
Customers can launch the experience by saying “Odds Zone,” “View odds” or “FanDuel odds” into their X1 voice remote. And coming soon, Xfinity Odds Zone will also be accessible from a new sports betting hub on X1, a centralized destination for fans, bettors and fantasy players that brings together the latest analysis and betting-focused content from available networks and streaming channels all in one place.
“We are thrilled to partner with Comcast to enhance how our customers can watch and wager on their favorite teams and athletes,” said Karol Corcoran, Senior Vice President and General Manager of FanDuel Sportsbook. “Integrating FanDuel odds into the Xfinity Odds Zone offers sports fans another way to interact with our robust sports betting offering, and we look forward to collaborating with Comcast to continue elevating the game day viewing experience.”
Xfinity Odds Zone is available to all X1 customers; placing bets is limited to customers living in states where sports betting is legal, and each sportsbook operates.
