Sports channels on Sling TV
You only need a quick glance to see that Sling TV’s sports coverage doesn’t have much game—but that should be expected with a cheap price tag.
If you want more sports channels with Sling TV, order the Orange + Blue. This package includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, and Motortrend.
And if that’s not enough (and no, six sports channels are definitely not enough), scroll down further to find out which 20 sports channels you can get with Sling’s Sports Extra add-on.

Local channels on Sling TV
Local channels are costly, so Sling TV doesn’t offer them (or many, for that matter) to keep your subscription price low.
If you live in a big city, such as Chicago or Los Angeles, you’ll get access to all three local channels Sling offers: ABC, FOX, and NBC.
If you don’t, an antenna and AirTV combo will deliver these local channels to your Sling service. And sometimes, Sling offers deals on said combo.
