Wait, so it's not even on Comcast?

Yes it is, if you have the least expensive digital pkg.

I just scrolled through the channel lineup, might have missed it.

Per their website, Xfinity X1 125+ channel option has Root Sports only

In WA, Root Sports will show Blazer games when Kraken game is not playing simultaneously. Otherwise, Kraken gets priority and Blazer games gets delayed.

If Provider also has Root PLUS, then Kraken game will be on Root Sports and Blazer game will be on Root PLUS.

Xfinity X1 seems to only have Root Sports and no Root PLUS

All of this is why I didn't see my first Blazers season openener in over 2 decades. To pay Commiecast that much and then have games possibly delayed because I'm in Vancouver.....way closer to Portland than much of Oregon?

Idiocy.

Has it been confirmed SW WA gets the Krak? OP says "most of Washington," you'd think Blazers would pull way more viewer's in the Couv area.

Just stream it. Don't suffer just because of the idiocy of some "this quarter" bean counters.

Good News.

I emailed Root Sports NW about Comcast/Xfinity coverage in Vancouver. Below is their response.

Hi Inconceivable –


I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me. I can confirm that Xfinity/Comcast does plan to make ROOT SPORTS Plus available to subscribers in time for the first Blazers/Kraken conflict on 10/31. They are working on the technical backend now. I don’t know the exact timing for when it will show up on your guide so I’ll ask you to please be patient on that.


Once they light up Plus you will have access to watch both Trail Blazers and Kraken games live when they play head-to-head.


Thanks,

Leslie

How ridiculously embarrassing. This team just can’t seem to get out of their own way.

This doesn’t affect me because I have league pass, but truly embarrassing

I totally agree. The Blazers need to make sure of their availability to all their fans through streaming options, and make sure SW Washington has access for the complete game. I get the disruption in Seattle Metro, the Kraken are their team.
