Sling TV provides various options for accessing cable channels on a flexible basis, avoiding full monthly subscriptions. In honor of Black Friday, the service is discounting its recently introduced $5 Day Passes significantly. Customers can purchase a Sling Orange Day Pass at a reduced rate of $1 until the end of November, unlocking 34 channels such as ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3.
In addition to the ESPN networks, the Sling Orange Day Pass grants entry to TNT and TBS, ideal for viewers interested in NBA, NFL, or college athletics broadcasts. It also features kid-friendly options like Disney Channel and Nick Jr., along with CNN for current events coverage and lifestyle networks including HGTV and Food Network for relaxed viewing. Engadget recognizes Sling TV as the top choice for adaptable live streaming due to its flexibility: users can include additional premium channels with a pass, with costs adjusted proportionally to the selected duration. This allows economical expansion beyond the base offering without substantial extra expense.
This deal delivers 24 hours of Sling Orange access at a $4 savings from the standard fee.
Although the offer coincides with the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, a Sling Orange plan does not cover the football matchups airing that Thursday. For those games, a minimum Sling Blue plan is required, which incorporates FS1 and NFL Network but lacks a day-pass alternative. Sling Blue plans begin at $46 per month.
Nevertheless, at this $1 price point—representing a $4 reduction from usual rates—subscribers gain entry to numerous well-known channels, Sling TV's DVR capabilities, and compatibility across devices like smartphones, tablets, web browsers, and televisions. The platform's straightforward navigation enhances the experience, particularly for targeted viewings such as specific matches or programs.
