Denver-based streaming provider Sling TV has rolled out a major update to its short-term subscription lineup, retiring the former Weekend Pass and launching a new 3-Day Pass that customers can activate on any day of the week.
The change directly addresses user requests for greater control over when their temporary access begins. Previously limited to Friday-through-Sunday windows, the old Weekend Pass often left subscribers unable to use the service during mid-week sporting events, holiday marathons, or personal travel schedules that did not align with the traditional weekend. The newly introduced 3-Day Pass removes that restriction entirely, granting three consecutive days of full access to the Sling Orange package whenever the purchaser decides to start it.
This marks the latest step in Sling TV’s long-standing strategy of emphasizing short-duration, contract-free viewing options that differ sharply from the month-to-month commitments required by most competing live TV streaming platforms. Alongside the existing 1-Day Pass and 7-Day Pass, the 3-Day Pass strengthens a tiered system designed for occasional viewers who only need live television for specific events such as college football bowl season, NBA playoff series, major golf tournaments, or extended holiday programming blocks.
The 3-Day Pass delivers the complete Sling Orange channel lineup, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, TNT, TBS, Disney Channel, CNN, and roughly 30 other networks, depending on the user’s market. Purchasers receive immediate activation upon checkout, with the three-day clock beginning the moment the pass is applied to the account.
Priced at $9.99, the new pass sits between the $4.99 one-day option and the $15.99 seven-day option, offering what the company positions as the most cost-effective middle ground for viewers needing more than 24 hours but less than a full week of service.
The update takes effect immediately and is available exclusively through the Sling TV website. Existing Weekend Pass holders who purchased before the change will complete their access under the original Friday-to-Sunday terms, while all new short-term purchases will default to the flexible 3-Day Pass format.
The launch arrives just ahead of the busy year-end sports and entertainment calendar, positioning the 3-Day Pass as a timely option for viewers planning around college football conference championships, NFL regular-season finales, and holiday movie marathons that frequently span non-traditional weekends.
The new Sling TV 3-Day Pass is live now and requires no long-term commitment or credit-card-on-file obligation beyond the one-time purchase price.
This comes as Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are both suing to block these short-term passes, arguing that they violate their contract.
