Within the increasingly saturated live streaming market, it can be hard to figure out which platform is the best choice based on your streaming needs. When it comes to live sports, Sling TV is the best and most affordable option. Through the platform’s Orange + Blue plan, which currently down to an unbeatable $33/month for your first month, you can stream nearly every live sports event throughout the year, starting with the NCAA Bowl whose playoffs kick off Friday, Dec. 20.
Sling’s Orange + Blue plan’s channel lineup includes everything from sports networks like ESPN, the NFL Network and FS1, in addition to popular cable channels such as AMC, E!, FX, MTV, Showtime, TLC and more. You can check out their full channel lineup here. Plus, there are no long-term contracts so you can change you channel lineup anytime. DVR is also included to let you watch replays of your favorite programs, along with thousands of on-demand shows and movies.
Sling’s plans also let you stream live TV from your phone, computer, tablet and TV through the Sling app. Sling Orange + Blue subscribers can also stream on up to four devices at the same time (Sling Blue customers can stream on up to three devices, while Sling Orange members can only watch on one device at a time).
Sports lovers can also go with Sling’s Orange plan for a more affordable option. For only $23/month for the first month (a 50% discount off its typical $46/month price), you’ll still have access to ESPN, in addition to 30+ other cable channels, including TNT, TBS and CNN.

Sling’s steep discounts come amidst price hikes at other live streaming platforms, such as Youtube TV which is up to $82.99/month, making an even stronger case for Sling over competitors. Not only are all of Sling’s plans 50% off for the first month, but also comes with a free month of AMC+.
