Sling Freestream: Is Sling TV Really Free?

Sling Freestream is easy to access and use

Sling Freestream channels

Sling Freestream features over 400 channels, which are roughly a 50/50 split of live-looping shows and on-demand-only content (most of the live channels also have on-demand movies and TV shows).

Some of the channels—which could be more accurately called content hubs—are familiar, like AMC and Discovery. But you’ve probably never heard of most of them, like Choppertown or Kabillion.

Between those channels, Sling Freestream streams over 5,000 TV shows and movies. You won’t see everything from cable network channels, though: AMC Presents is mostly reruns of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead but no Better Call Saul, and when you click on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, it only gives you a couple of on-demand options. Hey, you get what you pay for.

These are the channels included with Sling Freestream:

Comedy, drama, and reality TV channels on Sling Freestream

Comedy, drama, and cult movie channels on Sling Freestream

Sports, fitness, and outdoors channels on Sling Freestream

News, entertainment, and information on Sling Freestream

Kids and family channels on Sling Freestream

Sling Freestream’s channels, which are also accessible through paid Sling TV plans, are essentially samplers of what you’d get with a full subscription to Sling Orange, Sling Blue, or Sling Orange + Blue.

Consider Freestream an unlimited Sling TV free trial—you can get a taste of Sling’s interface. And if you like it but want a few more popular channels, you can order Sling for half off your first month.
