For just $4.99, viewers can access a full day of live and on-demand content from popular channels like ESPN, TNT, CNN, and Disney Channel. This budget-friendly alternative eliminates the need for a monthly subscription, making it ideal for catching must-see events like sports games or award shows.
For those needing extended access, Sling TV also provides a weekend pass at $9.99 (Friday through Sunday) or a seven-day pass for $14.99. These passes include the core lineup from Sling’s $45.99/month Orange package, with the option to enhance the experience through premium add-ons. Sports, news, and lifestyle extras are available for a small additional fee, just $1 more for a day pass, $2 for the weekend, or $3 for the weekly option.
Unlike traditional cable or most streaming services, these passes require no recurring payments, giving users complete control over their spending. With competitors like Comcast and DirecTV charging $70/month for sports-focused bundles, Sling’s pay-as-you-go model stands out as a cost-effective solution. Even upcoming standalone sports services from ESPN and Fox will cost significantly more, priced at $29.99 and $19.99 per month respectively.
Whether tuning in for a single game or binge-watching a weekend marathon, Sling TV’s temporary passes provide a smart way to enjoy live entertainment without the commitment.
