If you're getting tired of juggling multiple streaming subscriptions just to catch the NHL Stanley Cup Final on TNT and the NBA Finals on ABC this weekend (or just channel surf when you feel like it), you might want to try out Sling TV. The underrated, budget-friendly streaming option for sports and live TV fans is offering a can't-miss deal right now: New Sling subscribers can get half-off their first month of any Sling tier.

Sling TV, $20 and up (first month)


What is Sling TV?

Sling TV is a low-cost, no-contract live TV streaming platform that offers access to many of the same channels you get with a cable TV subscription. All Sling TV packages include 50 hours of DVR storage, so you can record your favorite live shows to stream later. 

There are three different Sling TV tiers: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue.

  • The lowest cost tier, Sling Orange, offers access to 31 channels including ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, TNT, Disney channel, CNN, and HGTV. It's normally $40 per month, so you'll pay just $20 for the first month.
  • The second tier, Sling Blue, costs $45 per month ($22.50 for the first month). It includes 42 channels, including your local ABC, NBC and Fox station (where available). Notably, this tier lacks ESPN, but it includes every channel you'll need to watch the NHL and NBA Finals this June.
  • The third tier, Sling Orange & Blue, includes all the channels available in the Sling Orange and Sling Blue tier, including local channels and ESPN. It costs $60 per month, or just $30 for the first month.

All tiers are currently half price for your first month.

In addition to getting half-off your first month, new subscribers to Sling TV can try any plan free for three days. (There's no contract, so you can cancel any time.)
