Monday Night Football returns next week with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Washington Commanders. For viewers who’ve cut the cord, accessing live sports often means costly monthly streaming subscriptions that go unused after the game. Sling TV is now offering a solution: its Day Pass, allowing 24-hour access to live TV, including ESPN, for as little as $4.99.
The Problem with Traditional Streaming
Traditional streaming services lock consumers into monthly fees, even if they only want to watch a single event. This means paying for content that isn’t desired, simply to access the one game you’re interested in. Sling’s Day Pass addresses this issue by providing a short-term, affordable option for one-off viewing.
How Sling’s Day Pass Works
The Day Pass provides access to over 34 channels, including ESPN, AMC, CNN, and TNT, for a single day. Unlike subscription models, there are no hidden fees or cancellation reminders. Sling also offers Weekend Passes ($9.99) for Friday-Sunday games and Week Passes ($14.99) for seven days of streaming. All options include ESPN, ensuring Monday Night Football coverage.
Sling’s Monthly Options
For consistent sports fans, Sling offers monthly packages:
- Sling Orange: Starts at $45.99/month, with over 30 channels including ESPN, TBS, and CNN.
- Sling Blue: Starts at $23 (first month half off), offering access to local networks like ABC, FOX, and NBC, along with the NFL Network.
CNET recognizes Sling as a top live TV streaming service due to its budget-friendly options.
Sports Extra Add-On
For $5.99, Sling Orange Day Pass can be upgraded with the Sports Extra add-on, providing access to ESPNU, SEC, and ACC games. This maximizes the value for dedicated sports fans.
Sling’s Day Pass provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional streaming services, allowing viewers to watch live sports without long-term commitments. The service is ideal for those who only need occasional access to specific events, eliminating unnecessary monthly expenses.
