Atlanta cable bills are running $130–$165/month in 2026 and still rising. PlayMaxTV gives Atlanta cord-cutters every Falcons game, every Hawks playoff, every Braves home run, and 20,000+ more channels for just $20/month. No contract. No Xfinity sales call. Free trial today.
If you live in Atlanta and you're still on a cable contract, you're almost certainly overpaying. Xfinity (Comcast) and AT&T are the dominant providers in the Atlanta metro, and both have aggressive pricing strategies that are designed to look affordable until you read the fine print.
A typical Xfinity TV + Internet bundle in Atlanta starts at a promotional rate but balloons to $140–$180/month within 12–18 months once the introductory period expires. Add in equipment rental fees ($10–$15/month for a cable box), regional sports surcharges ($8–$12/month), and broadcast TV fees ($25+/month) that most customers didn't realize they were signing up for, and the real bill frequently exceeds $160/month.
AT&T Fiber customers who bundle U-verse or DirecTV face similar creep. The service may be fast and reliable, but the TV component adds $60–$90/month on top of your internet bill — with the same hidden fees and sports surcharges baked in.
The math is stark. Atlanta residents on a standard Xfinity TV package are spending approximately $1,800–$2,160 per year on television. PlayMaxTV's annual plan is $90. That's a potential saving of over $1,700 per year — enough for a nice weekend trip to Savannah, a season of Braves games in person, or just money that stays in your pocket.
Atlanta is a four-sport city and the fear of losing local sports coverage is the single biggest reason Atlanta residents hesitate to cut cable. We'll address that fear directly: PlayMaxTV carries all four Atlanta pro sports teams, fully, live, in HD.
Every Falcons game is available on PlayMaxTV — regular season, playoffs, and if they make it, the Super Bowl. This includes games broadcast on CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN/ABC, and NFL Network. RedZone is available for the multi-game Sunday experience. No blackout worries — all Falcons games broadcast nationally or regionally are covered.

Hawks games air on TNT, ESPN, ABC, and Bally Sports South (the regional sports network for Atlanta). PlayMaxTV includes all national broadcast channels for Hawks NBA coverage throughout the regular season and into the playoffs. National primetime games are fully covered.
The Braves play on Fox, MLB Network, ESPN, and regionally on Bally Sports South. PlayMaxTV covers all national MLB broadcasts. Whether it's a Saturday afternoon Fox game, an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball matchup, or a postseason run, you'll catch every pitch. Check the full channel list for current regional sports network availability.
Atlanta United games air on Apple TV+ (MLS Season Pass), ESPN, and FS1. PlayMaxTV covers the national broadcast channels, ensuring you don't miss Atlanta United's home and away matches in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta residents have several cord-cutting options, but not all are created equal. Here is how the top choices compare for an Atlanta viewer who cares about local sports and news:
