Sling Passes
Sling Passes allow new subscribers to get access for a limited time. This is ideal for sports or award show fans who want to view content for a short time. There are three different pass options: Sling Day Pass — $4.99 for access to Sling Orange for 24 hours; Sling Weekend Pass — $9.99 for access to Sling Orange from Friday to Sunday; and Sling Week Pass — $14.99 with access to Sling Orange for seven days.
Sling Select
This is a “skinny” plan that allows users to pay for only the networks they want. It maxes out at 14 networks, with options such as Fox News, National Geographic, Grit, NFL Network, FX, Fox Sports, MeTV, Game Show Network, Heroes & Icons, Lifetime Movie Network and Vice. It starts at $19.99 per month.
Prepaid
Prepaid allows users to prepay for five months of sports seasons starting at $199. Subscribers must pick a base plan (Sling Orange, Sling Blue or Sling Orange + Blue) with the prepaid option. They may also add Sling Sports Extra for $11 a month, which includes NFL RedZone, ESPNEWS, MLB Network, Tennis Channel, NBA TV, NHL Network, FS2, Golf Channel and more.
Sling TV and the company that owns it, Dish Network, lost 380,000 combined subscribers in the first quarter of 2025, The Hollywood Reporter said. With these new deals, Sling TV may be able to recoup some of that loss.
However, Deadline announced Wednesday that Disney is suing Sling TV over its Passes.
“Sling TV’s new offerings, which they made available without our knowledge or consent, violate the terms of our existing license agreement,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement. “We have asked the court to require Dish to comply with our deal when it distributes our programming.”
According to Disney, it had no idea that its channels would be included in Sling’s passes and was not consulted or made aware.
A Sling spokesperson said the company was “proud” of its new Passes, which are “designed to redefine streaming and give viewers more flexibility, more choice and more control over how they watch live TV.”
Sling believes the suit is “meritless” and plans to “vigorously defend our right to bring customers a viewing experience that fits their lives, on their schedule and on their terms.”
