It is no longer a default service. You have to configure it in Startup.cs

services.TryAddSingleton();
services.TryAddSingleton();
UPDATE: In ASP.NET Core 2.1, the AddHttpContextAccessor helper extension method was added to correctly register the IHttpContextAccessor with the correct lifetime (singleton). So, in ASP.NET Core 2.1 and above, the code should be

services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
services.TryAddSingleton();
