In a bold move to reshape how viewers consume live television, Sling TV, the pioneer of flexible live streaming, has unveiled an industry-first trio of short-term streaming options: the $4.99 Day Pass, $9.99 Weekend Pass, and $14.99 Week Pass. Launched just in time for the 2025 football season, these offerings mark a significant evolution in Sling’s mission to deliver fan-first, contract-free streaming solutions that prioritize affordability and control. Since shaking up the TV industry in 2015, Sling TV is once again breaking the mold, giving consumers the freedom to watch live sports, entertainment, and news without the burden of long-term commitments.
The new passes are designed to align with real-life viewing habits, offering instant access to Sling’s robust lineup of channels for as little as 24 hours or up to a full week. “This launch is about putting control back in the hands of the fans, whether it’s tuning in for college football, professional sports, award shows, or a spontaneous movie night, all without having to sign a long-term, binding contract,” said Seth Van Sickel, Senior Vice President of Product and Operations at Sling TV. “With college football just around the corner, our new Day Pass offering is all consumers need to win on game day, for just $4.99.”
The Day Pass, priced at $4.99, provides 24 hours of access, making it ideal for catching a single game, an awards show, or an impromptu movie night. The $9.99 Weekend Pass, running from Friday to Sunday, caters to fans craving a full weekend of back-to-back football games, movie marathons, or binge-worthy shows. For those needing extended access, the $14.99 Week Pass offers seven days of streaming, perfect for playoff weeks, school breaks, or diving into a new series. All passes include live and on-demand content from popular Sling Orange channels like ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, TNT, A&E, TBS, Disney Channel, Comedy Central, History Channel, CNN, and more.
To enhance customization, Sling TV allows users to add Sling Extras—specialized channel packages like Sports Extra, News Extra, Entertainment Extra, Hollywood Extra, Lifestyle Extra, Heartland Extra, and Kids Extra—for as little as $1 for the Day Pass, $2 for the Weekend Pass, and $3 for the Week Pass. This flexibility ensures viewers can tailor their experience to their specific interests, whether it’s extra sports coverage or family-friendly programming.
“Built for the way people actually watch TV today, our new passes put viewers in control,” Van Sickel added. “For just $4.99, fans can dive into live sports, trending shows, or special events with no strings attached. It’s instant access, ultimate flexibility, and an unbeatable value.” As consumer demand for cost-effective, commitment-free streaming grows, Sling TV’s innovative passes position the service as a game-changer in the industry, especially as football season kicks off.
With these new offerings, Sling TV continues to challenge traditional streaming and cable models, empowering viewers to watch what they want, when they want, without breaking the bank. Whether it’s a single game or a week of entertainment, Sling’s passes deliver a fresh, fan-focused way to experience live TV.
