The Xfinity Watchathon Week is back, and this year Netflix joins the broadcast and cable channels offering up programs for the free Comcast binge-fest.
This is the fifth year that Comcast is running its Xfinity Watchathon Week, which began yesterday (3 April 2017) for its Xfinity TV customers (aka cable TV subscribers).
More than 50 broadcast and cable channels are making titles available for free. What’s even bigger and better this year is that customers with Comcast’s X1 set-top box can access Netflix titles, too — and without a Netflix subscription, as with the premium cable channels.
Speaking of, here are the British+ shows on HBO, Showtime, and Starz, plus series from a few basic cable channels and PBS, that you can stream for free during Xfinity Watchathon Week. (Note that not all seasons or episodes are available for every title.)

Since it isn’t every day that Xfinity TV customers without premium channel subscriptions can (legally) watch hit series such as Game of Thrones or Outlander for free, now is the time to get in on the goods while they last. Sunday, 9 April, is the final day of Xfinity Watchathon Week 2017.
