What Channel Is FS1 on Xfinity?
Updated
There's no single FS1 channel number on Xfinity. Comcast sets its lineups market by market, so FS1 lands on a different number depending on where you live. In Xfinity's own local lineups, FS1 is channel 729 in Philadelphia, 408 in Chicago, 114 in Houston and 33 in Seattle.
There is one shortcut worth knowing. In all four of those lineups, FS1 HD also shows up on channel 1208, so try 1208 first on an Xfinity box. With FOX Sports carrying the National League playoffs on FS1 this month, here's how to find your number fast.

How to find FS1 on Xfinity where you live
Ask the voice remote
Hold the microphone button on your Xfinity voice remote and say "FS1." The box tunes straight to the channel, so you don't need to know the number at all.
Search the guide or the Xfinity Stream app
Open the guide and search "FS1," or sign in to the Xfinity Stream app on your phone, tablet or TV device and search there. The app shows the channels in your plan, which also tells you whether FS1 is included.
Use Xfinity's online channel lineup
Xfinity's local channel lineup tool lets you enter your service address and see every channel number for it. Look up FS2 and your local FOX station while you're there, since some playoff games air on FOX instead of FS1.
