Latest Spectrum TV Plans & Pricing Table (Updated for March 2026)

In 2026, Spectrum has simplified its lineup to focus on "Unified Entertainment"—merging traditional cable with premium streaming apps. All 2026 plans are contract-free and include an Xumo Stream Box at no extra cost for new customers.

3 Essential Facts for March 2026

1. The "Streaming Bundle" Value: In 2026, Spectrum's TV Select Signature plan includes over $100/mo in streaming app value for free. You no longer need to pay separately for Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, or Max.

2. No More Cable Boxes: Spectrum is officially phasing out traditional legacy boxes. Most 2026 customers receive the Xumo Stream Box, which integrates your live TV channels and streaming apps into one voice-activated interface.

3. Sports View Add-on: If you choose the base Select Signature plan, you can add Sports View for just $10/mo to get NFL RedZone, MLB Network, and NHL Network without upgrading to the $125 Plus plan.

Why These Prices Vary

• Internet Requirement: The prices above are "bundled rates." If you do not have Spectrum Internet, your TV-only price may be $15–$20 higher per month.

• Broadcast TV Fee: Always factor in the Broadcast TV Fee (approx. $20–$25/mo), which is mandatory for local channels like ABC, CBS, and NBC.

• Regional Sports Fee: Only applies to the Select Plus and Platinum tiers.
