Traditional cable TV resonates with a massive audience in America, but we cannot deny the increasing popularity of online streaming services. Netflix is the undisputed king of streaming services with almost 270 million paid subscribers worldwide.
People are replacing paid TV with one or more streaming services for the convenience they offer. Streaming services are not bound to schedules, they present lots of exclusive content (shows and movies), they give the option to opt out of watching ads, and have multiple budget-friendly plans.
Xfinity brings you multiple entertainment options in one place, so it’s more than okay to want more than regular TV. How to watch Netflix on Xfinity you ask? Let’s find out…
Nothing beats gathering around one big screen with your loved ones to watch a much-awaited TV show or movie together. However, given our busy routines that often clash with the timetables of cable TV networks, it gets difficult to make time for these get-togethers.
Luckily, streaming services like Netflix let you stream content at your own convenience. However, wouldn’t it be nice to own an entertainment system that lets you tune into either of the options (cable TV and Netflix) without switching inputs? Well, Xfinity X1 allows you to do just that!
To watch Netflix with Xfinity X1, you will need:
To watch Netflix on Xfinity, you’ll have to connect your Netflix account to the Xfinity X1 cable box. There are two ways to do this:
Another way to watch Netflix on Xfinity is through the Xfinity Flex 4K streaming TV box. As with Xfinity X1 TV, you require a subscription to Xfinity’s Internet service (any residential plan will do). The procedure for setting up Netflix on Xfinity Flex 4K is identical to how you do it with the X1 TV box.
P.S. The Xfinity Flex TV box is no longer available. New customers get the Xumo Stream Box, which connects with Netflix in the same fashion.
Xfinity’s fast and reliable internet, the X1 TV box, and subscriptions for your favorite streaming services are the perfect recipe for unbeatable home entertainment. Additionally, Xfinity bundle deals can offer you more value at discounted rates.

To watch Netflix with Xfinity X1, Flex, or Xumo Stream Box, you will require a paid subscription. You can sign up for Netflix directly or through your Xfinity account. If you choose to purchase your Netflix subscription through Xfinity, the charges will be added to your monthly bill.
Assuming you purchased your Netflix subscription through Xfinity, you’ll need to update your payment method to continue using the service; otherwise, you shouldn’t have an issue retaining your Netflix account.
In case you are subscribed to an Xfinity TV package with Netflix and want to move this service to your new home, you’ll have to reconnect your Netflix account to the TV box at your new address.
Xfinity won’t let you access Netflix content unless you have an active subscription. Another reason for not being able to stream Netflix on Xfinity could be an incompatible TV box or device.
