Altitude Sports and Comcast Resolve Dispute, Restoring Nuggets and Avalanche Games to Colorado TVs

After nearly six years, a new agreement returns Altitude Sports to Comcast's Xfinity service, allowing fans to watch Denver's championship-winning teams again.

• Altitude Sports and Comcast have reached a deal to end a nearly six-year blackout, restoring Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche games to Comcast's Xfinity customers in Colorado.
• The agreement follows years of legal disputes and failed contract negotiations over carriage fees, which left many fans unable to watch their teams' games since 2019.
• During the blackout, both teams achieved historic milestones, with the Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup in 2022 and the Nuggets securing their first NBA championship in 2023.
• Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns Altitude Sports and both teams, expressed regret for the prolonged dispute and emphasized the importance of reconnecting fans with their hometown teams.
• The restored broadcasts begin Tuesday night with the Avalanche's game against the Vancouver Canucks, marking a significant moment for Colorado sports fans.
