Streaming is great. Surfing channels, binge-ready shows on tap and a deep sigh with your feet up. Until you realize you’ve somehow collected more subscriptions than you can keep track of...

With so many platforms demanding monthly payments, it’s easy to feel stuck, especially with all of our other bills piling up. But sometimes you don’t want a long-term plan at all. Sometimes you just want to tune in for one match, one premiere, or one relaxing stretch of couch time.

Sling offers an easy solution. Passes by Sling let you access live TV only when you actually need it. No contracts, no annual commitments, no stress — just short-term access tailored to whatever you’re in the mood to watch. Whether you’re catching a single event, settling in for a weekend marathon, stretching things over a full week, or treating yourself to a month of steady viewing, Sling has an option to match.
