Whether or not this week’s episode of “Ted Lasso” proves to be the series finale on Apple TV+ or not, customers of Xfinity’s cable and internet services will be able to get a sneak peek of the service for free thanks to the company’s “Free This Week” promotion. Throughout 2023, Xfinity is making a different premium channel or streaming service free to customers. Not only is it a nice, extra benefit for subscribers, but it also gives them the chance to sample each service’s programming before signing up.

Apple TV+ is available to customers starting today, Monday, May 15 and will remain free through Sunday, May 21. To access Apple’s streaming service, Xfinity customers can simply say “Free This Week” into their voice remote or through their X1, Flex, and Stream accounts.

Unfortunately, the free preview period doesn’t include “Ted Lasso,” but does allow viewers to check out the first seasons of four other Apple TV+ series, “Prehistoric Planet,” “Loot,” “Swagger,” and “Foundation.” Also, Xfinity customers will also get an exclusive look at the second season of “Prehistoric Planet,” ahead of its May 22 premiere. Xfinity’s “Free This Week” program comes 10 years after its inaugural signature free content giveaway, “Watchathon Week.”

The company’s customers have received free access to a wide variety of content already this year. Thanks to the “Free This Week” program, Xfinity subscribers have been able to watch shows, movies, and documentaries from HBO Max, MGM+, Acorn TV, Last week, Anime Network, and more.

If you’re an Xfinity user who decides to stick with Apple TV+ following the free week, you can subscribe for just $6.99 per month and receive access to the streamer’s growing slate of titles, including acclaimed series like “Shrinking,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Slow Horses,” original movies like “Ghosted,” “Causeway,” and “Spirited,” and, of course, all three seasons of “Ted Lasso.”

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.
