Sling is one of the most affordable live streaming services on the market, offering impressive bang for your buck if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to cable. You can read our full Sling TV review here.
The service has two packages with over 30 channels each starting at just $35 a month. Below, we've broken down exactly what you'll get with each plan and all the add-ons you can include to enhance your channel offerings.
The 2 main packages - Sling Orange and Sling Blue - offer 30+ channels for $35 a month, or $50 combined
Sling's two main offerings are Sling Orange and Sling Blue, each available to stream for $35 a month. You can also combine the two packages for $50 a month, giving you access to all 50+ channels Sling offers. For a limited time, new customers can get their first month for $25 off.
Channels largely overlap between Blue and Orange, but there are a few differences that might push you to choose one over the other. The channels that overlap include standouts like Food Network, Lifetime, AMC, CNN, and more. Meanwhile, Disney and ESPN are only included with Sling Orange. In their place, Sling Blue offers NFL Network and a slate of Fox-owned and NBC-owned channels.
Blue also comes with local NBC and Fox networks, but only in select markets. Sling Orange doesn't offer any local channels, so if you're hoping to catch your local nightly news, Sling Blue is the way to go.
Add-ons start at $6 a month if you're looking for specific genres or channels
If you want to further enhance your channel selection, Sling offers a slate of genre-based add-ons starting at $6 a month. Each add-on, like Kids Extras, Sports Extras, and Lifestyle Extras, offers a mini-bundle of channels for an additional charge.
There are several premium add-ons as well, including Showtime ($10/month) and Starz ($9/month). Sling is currently offering a deal where customers can stream their first month of Showtime or Starz for only $5.
