New UI
Sling TV’s Xbox One user interface (UI) is getting a facelift! Available today, the latest update will give you a more personalized and customizable TV experience.

We also make it easy to pick up where you left off watching with the “Continue Watching” ribbon. And, add your favorite shows, series, and movies for... Read More

March is upon us, which means one thing: it’s bracket season. Whether you’re a diehard college hoops fan or just filling out a bracket for the first time, we know next week is an exciting (and potentially excruciating) time for everyone. And with Sling TV, you can follow the action in your home, on-the-go or at work (we won’t tell!) beginning with this week’s conference tournaments, all the way through the regional finals. Plus, we’re offering Sling TV customers an additional 25% savings off an already discounted RCA antenna, which sets up quickly and easily to your television to receive all the broadcast games available in your area.

Spring is nearly here, and if you’re like me, that means you’re already thinking about baseball season. I know many of you are carefully considering how you’ll be watching your favorite team this season and others have asked specifically about NBC Regional Sports Networks (CSN) on Sling TV.
Today I’m happy to share that sports fans in the Bay Area, Sacramento, Chicago and Mid-Atlantic markets will have access to CSN programming by Major League Baseball’s 2017 Opening Day, April 2. Since we originally announced the coming addition of the CSNs, our team has continued to work closely with our programming partners to bring you these networks. We appreciate your continued support and patience while we worked to add CSN Bay Area, CSN California, CSN Chicago and CSN Mid-Atlantic.

At Sling TV, we’re all about choice, listening to our customers and giving them control over their entertainment experience. That’s why we were the first to deliver a new pay-TV model with no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, no cable guy, no credit checks and no useless channels. As we’ve grown, we’ve also seen our customers become more diverse in what they want from their TV. Some consumers want a skinny “bundle;” others want to pick and choose the specific channel genres like sports; while others want a true cable replacement service. The good news is all these consumer needs can be achieved with Sling TV and all at an industry-leading low price!
Most people tell us they don’t want the “big, bigger, biggest” bundles that come with old-TV packaging... Read More

Did you enjoy your HBO fix last weekend? Our free previews aren’t over quite yet! We’re continuing to celebrate our birthday month by giving Sling TV customers a free preview of our STARZ premium. Starting tomorrow, Feb. 23 through Sunday, Feb. 26, all Sling Orange and Sling Blue customers will have access to live and on-demand TV shows and movies from STARZ.
This weekend’s free preview means you can catch up on shows like The Missing and Black Sails, or binge watch the best shows you’ve never heard of, like Ash vs. Evil Dead and Party Down. When STARZ says it’s “obsessable,” they mean it! On the recommendation of a friend, I watched all 20 Party Down episodes in just two days.
The free preview will bring you a... Read More
