dailyloe.com – A contract dispute has blacked out Florida Panthers games for Comcast cable subscribers. The issue began on Tuesday, April 1, 2026, affecting viewers in South Florida. This follows Comcast’s decision to drop all Scripps TV stations from its lineup.
The Panthers confirmed the blackout in a social media statement. They advised fans the game was unavailable on Comcast in three counties. Viewers were directed to use over-the-air signals or other providers.
The team moved its local broadcasts to Scripps Sports in the 2024-25 season. Games air on WSFL-Channel 39 in Miami-Dade and Broward. Other affiliates serve Palm Beach and Fort Myers markets.
Fans were told to contact Comcast to complain. The company provided a customer service number for feedback. This carriage dispute highlights ongoing tensions in media distribution.
Such blackouts are not uncommon during contract negotiations. They often leave sports fans without access to local games. The situation remains unresolved as of the initial report.[]
