In short, Sling TV delivers the best value for premium content, and is one of the best ways to stream live TV online. While Sling is already affordable at $45 a month, a new Sling Orange & Blue deal gets you the best of both plans for 50% off the regular $65.99+ monthly subscription price for a limited time.

What Is Sling TV?
Sling TV is a TV streaming platform that’ll give you instant access to more than 30 live TV channels that you can watch online without needing cable. Other streaming services like Apple TV+ and Netflix only provide you with on-demand shows and movies, but Sling TV will give you on-demand content and live TV channels to watch at your leisure. You can choose from three different packages: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Orange + Blue depending on your budget and viewing preferences.
The Orange package is best for sports fans, as it includes channels like ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3, while the Blue package offers more entertainment channels such as Bravo, TLC and The Food Network. Each plan also includes DVR storage to record and watch programs later.
Don’t want to choose? You can also combine both with the Orange + Blue package, which will give you all 72 channels to livestream as well as the ability to stream on three devices at once. As part of the new Sling holiday promotion, the Orange + Blue package is discounted to just $33 (or 50% off).
The best part? No installation is required — once you sign up, you’ll get instant access to live TV and on-demand movies and TV shows.
Does Sling Have a Free Trial?
The live TV streamer’s deals and promos change throughout the year — and that includes when they have a free trial. While you won’t be able to get a free trial with the best Sling TV deals going on right now, you can score a major 50% discounted price on the platform compared to competitors that offer packages around $80 a month.
Can You Get Local Channels on Sling?
A few of the channels offered on the Blue and Orange packages are local like ABC and FOX. Not all of the channels will be local though. See below for a full list of channels included in each package.
