Watch Live TV without lengthy contracts with new daily Sling TV packages

Picture this: You and your buddies are all gathered around the couch, decked out in jerseys, hats — and yes, maybe even body paint — as you crack open beers in anticipation of Monday Night Football. A few minutes before kickoff, you fire up your go-to streaming service to pull up the game just to be met with a message that the requested event is unavailable for your current plan. You can either pay an exorbitant amount of money to upgrade to the next tier or risk being labeled as “the worst watch party in existence.” There has to be another way… right?

If you’re sick of streaming services pulling the rug on your party by switching up your coverage right before a big event, you’re not alone. It’s getting harder and more expensive to figure out what exactly your streaming service covers, and you do not want to eff around trying to figure out where to stream Monday Night Football. Sling TV now offers new short term subscription passes available by the day, weekend, or week so you don’t have to commit to a full streaming subscription.

What is Sling TV?

Sling TV is an alternative to traditional cable that offers live TV for less. But how does Sling TV work? Their subscriptions are based around the channels you want access to, so you’re really only paying for what you’ll actually watch instead of paying for 600+ traditional cable channels when you only use 4 or 5 of them.

How much is Sling TV?

The Sling TV cost depends on your plan. The addition of passes to Sling Orange means there are more flexible options than ever before.

Sling Orange has 5 different payment possibilities.

• Day Pass: $4.99 for 24 hours of access

What are Day, Week and Weekend Passes?

The passes are your affordable opportunity to watch the big game, award show, or movie you’ve been looking forward to — without being locked into a long term commitment. The passes are only available for Sling Orange, which includes channels for sports, entertainment, and families like ESPN, TNT, and Disney Channel.

If you’re interested in a single game or just want to have an impromptu movie night, grab a Day Pass for $4.99 and enjoy 24 hour access. For longer events, consider the Weekend Pass that’s $9.99 for Friday–Sunday access or get a Week Pass for just $14.99.

Should you get a longer Sling TV subscription?

The longer the plan you choose, the less you’ll end up paying per day. With so many networks, there’s hours and hours of watchable content to choose from that you can’t enjoy it all in a single day. While a Day Pass is $4.99 per day, a Week Pass comes down to just $2.14 per day.

Is it hard to cancel Sling TV?

Cancellation is not available for Sling’s new subscription passes, but if you use a month-to-month subscription to Sling TV, you can cancel anytime by visiting your account. You’ll keep access until your period ends, and you can re-subscribe anytime.

Is there a Sling TV trial?

Although Sling TV doesn’t offer a free trial, the passes are an easy way to test out Sling Orange to see if it would be a good fit. You can choose from a day, weekend, or week-long test period starting at just $4.99.

If Sling Blue is more your style, try it for $45.99 for a month and enjoy access to HGTV, TLC, Lifetime, and more. Sling TV is a month-to-month service with no contract required, so you can cancel or switch subscriptions at any point.

You can also watch more than 500 live TV channels and shows and movies on-demand with Sling Freestream.

Where can I watch Sling TV?

While Sling Orange and its passes can only be accessed on a single device, Sling Blue has up to 3 streams available. Sling TV is compatible with most smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Echo Show, and more. You can also stream on the go by downloading the Sling TV app for Android or iOS.

Does Sling TV have local channels?

Local channels are not included with Sling Orange, but Sling Blue, Sling Select, and Sling Blue & Orange include access to certain channels depending on your area.

Is Sling TV worth it?

Yes, Sling TV is absolutely worth it. We named Sling TV one of the best live TV streaming services in the past and the addition of its new Sling Orange subscription passes only solidifies our thoughts. Instead of suffocating subscriptions that only get used occasionally, you can save money by opting for a Day, Weekend or Week Pass from Sling TV and enjoying instant access to more than 30 channels.
