Comcast Hours: Store, Call Center, and Technical Support Operation Hours

Comcast is one of the largest cable and internet providers in the United States, offering cable TV, high-speed internet, phone service, and home security monitoring to millions of residential and business customers. With such a large customer base spread across 40 states and the District of Columbia, Comcast provides several ways for customers to get sales, service or technical support. Here is an overview of Comcast’s various operation hours by channel.

Comcast Store Hours

Comcast has over 1,500 Xfinity stores located in the communities it serves. Store hours vary by location, but most stores are open for walk-in sales and support 7 days a week during the following general hours:

Monday to Friday: 10am to 8pm
Saturday: 10am to 6pm
Sunday: 12pm to 5pm

Some stores have extended hours until 9pm on weekdays. Store hours can fluctuate, especially around holidays, so confirm your local store’s hours by looking up the address on Comcast’s store locator.

When visiting a store, keep in mind:

Appointments – Some locations offer and recommend appointments for service requests like new installations. Walk-ins are still welcome.
COVID Protocols – Face masks may be required depending on local regulations.
Wait times – Coming during peak hours may result in longer wait times. Scheduling appointments can help minimize wait time.

Xfinity Support Call Center Hours

In addition to stores, Comcast operates customer support call centers to help existing Xfinity customers with billing, service and other account inquiries.

The main Xfinity support number is 1-800-XFINITY and support is available 24/7 year-round.

Though 24/7 support is advertised, call center volumes tend to be highest from 9am-9pm on weekdays when most customers are available to call. Calling very early or very late typically results in shorter hold times.

Xfinity Stores – Most locations are closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Stores close early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Hours vary on other holidays like Memorial Day and July 4th.
Call Centers – Support lines remain open 24/7, but wait times may be longer on holidays when call volumes spike. Availability of online chat support and technical phone support are not affected.
