Xfinity Customers Can Enjoy AMC Networks' HIDIVE Free Through Sunday, October 26
NEW YORK, NY – October 22, 2025 – HIDIVE, the fast-growing anime platform in AMC Networks' suite of targeted streaming services, today announced its participation in Comcast's ‘Free This Week’ program, offering Xfinity customers a full week of complimentary access to its expansive anime catalog. This announcement follows HIDIVE's recent launch across Comcast platforms, including X1, Xumo Stream Box, Xumo TV and Flex.
From Monday, October 20 to Sunday, October 26, Xfinity customers can dive into HIDIVE's robust lineup of premium simulcast and English-dubbed anime and stream fan-favorite titles.
‘Free This Week’ is Comcast's year-long content sampling initiative that unlocks a rotating selection of premium networks and streaming services exclusively for Xfinity customers. This highly promotable program is a valuable addition for customers and is available across X1, Xumo Stream Box, Xumo TV and Flex platforms, with select content also accessible through the Xfinity Stream app.
As anime continues to surge in global popularity, HIDIVE stands out as a leading destination for full-tilt, genre-defining titles that captivates fans both old and new. HIDIVE officially launched on Comcast platforms earlier this year, with its app debuting on July 22 and linear channel availability beginning August 12. This partnership underscores AMC Networks' continued investment in the anime genre and its commitment to broadening HIDIVE's audience through strategic distribution.
“Anime is incredibly popular and HIDIVE's ability to consistently deliver the best of the genre has made it one of our fastest growing streaming services,” said Amy Leasca, Executive Vice President of Partner Management & Strategy at AMC Networks. “We're thrilled to partner with Comcast to bring HIDIVE's expansive catalog to even more viewers through their ‘Free This Week’ initiative.”
