Sling TV Launches Affordable Day and Week Streaming Passes Starting at Only $4.99

Sling TV offers new daily, weekend, and weekly passes starting at $4.99 to give sports fans flexible access without long-term contracts.

  • Sling TV announced new Day, Weekend, and Week Passes on Tuesday, granting short-term access to Sling Orange channels for $4.99 to $14.99.
  • The launch responds to ongoing pay TV subscriber losses, with two products dropping 289,000 users last quarter amid rising cord-cutting trends.
  • The passes include channels like ESPN and TNT but exclude Sling Blue networks such as Fox Sports and NBC Sports, and some features are missing.
  • Seth Van Sickel, Sling TV’s Senior Vice President, explained that the introduction aims to give viewers more freedom, eliminating the need for long-term agreements.
  • EchoStar continues quarterly subscriber reporting as Sling TV offers flexible mini-subscriptions aiming to attract sports fans unwilling to pay high monthly fees.
