Sling TV Deals
Sling TV is already cheap, but CableTV.com has found a few more ways to save money on the service.
Current Sling TV deals:
- Prepay and save
- Free and discounted local channels bundle
- $20 for you and a friend
Besides being one of the least expensive and most customizable live TV streaming services around, Sling TV is also all about dem deals. Where other streaming services offer various discounts and bundle options, Sling TV will hook you up with physical gear—and who doesn’t like gear?
The following deals are available on all three of Sling TV’s plans: Orange, Blue (both $40 a month), and Orange + Blue ($55 a month). Pick your color swatch and get streaming.
$10 off your first month
New Sling TV customers can enjoy $10 off their first month of Sling Blue, Orange, or Orange & Blue for a limited time.
Save $5 every month
Sign up for Sling Orange + NBA League Pass and save $5 every month for up to 6 months—paying as you go can save you up to $30!
Get $20 for you and a friend
Want to share your love of Sling TV? When you refer a friend, they’ll get a $5 off their first four bills, and you’ll get $5 off your next four billing cycles. Depending on how many friends accept your invitation, you can get up to $200 off your Sling TV account per year.
To refer a friend, log in to your Sling TV account and click the Refer a Friend button.
Sling Latino free trial
Sling TV just launched its new Sling Latino plan—and it’s offering a free 7-day trial to new subscribers. After your free week, you can watch 21 Spanish-language channels for $10 per month.
Free AirTV Mini
Prepaying for two months of Sling TV service allows you to grab a free AirTV Mini, an award-winning streaming device optimized for Sling. Sling TV says the AirTV Mini regularly goes for $79.99, and “free” is definitely the better deal.
Free and discounted local channel bundles
Sling TV doesn’t carry many local channels in most markets, which is why it’s practically evangelical about supplementing its streaming channel lineups with an antenna. Local over-the-air broadcast channels are free, and so are the digital HD antennas Sling TV includes with these bundles:
- AirTV Mini: Get a free AirTV Mini streaming device (regularly $79.99) when you prepay for two months of Sling TV service.
- AirTV 2 + HD antenna: Get a digital HD antenna and an AirTV 2 antenna device for $49.00 (regularly $149.94 total) when you prepay for three months of Sling TV service. The AirTV 2 is a DVR/tuner that interfaces with a digital antenna and integrates local channels into Sling TV.
- AirTV Anywhere + HD antenna: Get a digital HD antenna and an AirTV Anywhere for $99.00 (regularly $244.98) when you prepay for three months of Sling TV service. This setup allows you to watch local channels on four TVs—or stream them on one on-the-go device.
- AirTV Anywhere + OTA bundle: Get an OTA antenna and an AirTV Anywhere for $89.00 when you prepay for three months of Sling TV service. This setup allows you to watch and record local channels in your Sling channel guide on up to four devices at once—or stream them on one on-the-go device.
Sling Free
Sling TV offers a super-skinny version of its live TV streaming service at zero cost: Sling Freestream, a mix of live news channels (like ABC News Live and CBS News) and dozens of linear “loop” channels featuring 24/7 shows and movies (similar to Pluto TV and Xumo). You don’t even have to register—just use the Sling TV app or a web browser and look for “Explore Free Content.”
There are also some live sports and on-demand movies and shows on Sling Free, though you’ll find many of them labeled with a “Subscribe” tag (meaning not free). Still, you can watch a whole season of Kitchen Nightmares for free, as well as hundreds of semi-obscure movies (2003’s Death Train, anyone?).
Sling Free also allows you to subscribe to the same premium add-ons as regular Sling TV, but you’ll have to pay for those. The same goes for movie rentals through Sling Free, but at least they’re current and you’ve heard of them.
Prepay and save, basketball fans
Calling all basketball fans (and streaming savers)! If you prepay for 4 months of Sling Orange, you’ll save $40—just in time for March Madness.
Don’t miss out on March Madness. Check out our NCAA Tournament guide to this season’s college basketball schedules, available to stream through Sling TV.

Do you have to pay for Sling TV on Roku?
Sling TV’s Orange, Blue, and Orange + Blue plans aren’t free through Roku or any other streaming device. You can, however, stream Sling Freestream with the Sling TV app on Roku and other devices.
Which Sling TV plan is best?
We like the Sling Orange + Blue plan because it features the most channels, over 50, for $55 a month. But, if you just want a single $40 Sling TV plan, there are differences to consider:
- Sling Orange carries more sports and family channels (like ESPN and Disney), but has fewer channels overall (30+).
- Sling Blue has more channels (40+) and leans more toward entertainment and news channels (like Syfy and MSNBC).
- Sling Orange or Sling Blue can be customized with channel add-on packages (like sports, kids, movies. etc.), so it’s really just a matter of what you’re into.
What is Sling Total TV?
Sling’s Total TV is a deal for new customers that adds a 200-hour cloud DVR and seven Sling TV Extras packages (Sports Extras, Comedy Extras, Kids Extras, News Extras, Lifestyle Extras, Hollywood Extras, and Heartland Extras) to Sling Orange, Sling Blue, or Sling Orange + Blue at a discount. Sling Total TV for Orange or Blue is an extra $21 a month, or $27 a month extra added to the Orange + Blue plan.
Is Sling $20 a month?
No, Sling TV can cost between $40.00 and $55.00 per month depending on your package. However, you can get Sling TV for as low as $20 for your first month with their current half-off promotion.
