Are you looking to stream the next big game or your favorite show live, but don’t want to pay for a month of service? Sling TV just dropped a limited-time Day Pass deal. For $1, you can get 24 hours of Sling Orange (32+ channels, including ESPN) for an easy, cheap way to watch a big game, a must-see matchup, or live news without the commitment.to another month-long subscription.
Sling’s promotion also comes amid an escalating carriage fight between DISH, Sling’s parent company, and Disney. Sling won the first round in court over whether its short-term passes violate Disney’s carriage rules, and that legal drama could affect long-term access to ESPN for Sling/DISH customers as contracts near expiration in 2026.
Meanwhile, Disney recently reached a fresh deal with YouTube TV to restore ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels after a week-long blackout. Though carriage fights can move fast, with different services negotiating different outcomes, Sling’s Day Pass deal is the best low-risk bargain for those who require flexibility.
