St. Louis Cardinals channel 1261

The Cardinals and MLB organization it says Xfinity will broadcast the games on channel 1261 - but here in Little Rock Arkansas there is no channel 1261.  

Here is a channel finder for fans to easily locate where to watch games depending on the video distributor they utilize, including Spectrum and Comcast. A list of available channels are below.

  • Comcast/Xfinity– Channel 1261

Why ???  Do we not have channel 1261, in Little Rock, when it says this... ??? Anyone ??? 

On Xfinity Cable TVCardinals games air on Cardinals.TV (produced and distributed by MLB) via your Xfinity cable box or service.
  • Channel: 1261 on Comcast/Xfinity.
  • This applies across the Cardinals' TV territory, which includes Arkansas.
Little Rock falls within the Cardinals' regional TV market (covering Arkansas along with parts of Missouri, Oklahoma, and neighboring states), so local games should be available without blackouts on this channel.    
and the MLB channel 3026 says... "Due to programming restrictions this show is currently unavailable" sigh... Xfinity won't even let me subscribe / pay and watch... 😠 the game...

Spent an hour as requested above with support... and apparently Xfinity will not be showing St. Louis Cardinals baseball games for anyone living in one of the "IN Market" areas (Arkansas being one...) and will not be offering Cardinal TV so you can not even pay Xfinity to see the In-Market games...  I have watched Cards games on Xfinity for years... FanDual Midwest & Bally Sports channels like Xfinity channel 1251, but this year NO CARDS GAMES BOO ... if you are in Market - buying MLB Extra Innings will only allow Out-of-Market games...    If anyone in Arkansas is able to get IN-Market St Louis Cardinal games through Xfinity , at any cost, please let me know - thank you !

MLB offers Cardinal.TV so one can see ALL in-market games, but Xfinity has chosen to not broadcast Cardinal.TV only the Cardinal mlb channel 3026 which only allows out of market games...   1261 would be cardinal.tv, I think... if offered.

Watch Cardinals games in-market!

Stream Cardinals games without blackouts LIVE or on demand for the entire 2026 regular season. Plus, access to MiLB games and MLB Big Inning.

Xfinity needs to offer this... above ot his below...
