Xfinity to Provide Hundreds of Team USA Athletes with $2,026 to Stay Connected During Their Olympic and Paralympic Games Pursuit
Comcast, a proud partner of Team USA, today introduced its roster of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes who will represent Xfinity on the road to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. This year’s roster includes 11 world-class athletes across Bobsled, Ice Hockey, Sled Hockey, Figure Skating, Speed Skating, Skiing, Para Snowboarding, and Snowboarding.
In addition to supporting its roster of 11 athletes, Xfinity will once again provide the hundreds of Team USA athletes who qualify for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games with $2,026 to help them stay connected to loved ones and fans. Xfinity first launched this program during the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.
For more than eight years, Comcast and its consumer brand, Xfinity, have partnered with U.S. Olympic and Paralympic champions and hopefuls to empower them to stay connected to what matters most – their families, communities, and the fans who cheer them on – as they pursue their Olympic and Paralympic dreams.
“These world-class athletes embody the perseverance, excellence, and inspiration that define the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Comcast. “Our commitment goes beyond sponsorship – it’s about connection. Through the athletes we support, we’re proud to help bring people closer together and make those connections possible.”
