Sling TV Channel List

What is the difference between Sling Orange and Sling Blue?

They share about 25 channels but split the exclusives. Orange has the ESPN family, Disney Channel, and Freeform; Blue has Fox News, FS1, NFL Network, USA, Bravo, FX, Syfy, and more, plus local channels in select markets. Use the Package column in the table to see exactly where each channel sits.

Which plan do I need for sports?

This is the catch most subscribers run into: ESPN and ESPN2 are Orange-only, while FS1 and NFL Network are Blue-only. Following both college football on ESPN and NFL coverage on FOX networks means the combined Orange & Blue plan. NFL RedZone sits one layer further out, in the Sports Extra add-on attached to Blue.

Can I switch between Orange and Blue instead of paying for both?

Yes. Both plans cost the same and you can change plans from your account settings, so some subscribers alternate, Blue for Sunday FOX football, Orange when ESPN matters more. It takes effort, but it works.

Does Sling TV have local channels?

Only partially. NBC, FOX, and ABC are carried on Blue and Orange & Blue in select major markets, and CBS is not carried anywhere. Many markets get one local or none. Sling TV leans on antenna pairing for the gap, and its AirTV hardware merges over-the-air locals into the Sling guide.

What channels does Sling TV NOT have?

No CBS, PBS, The Weather Channel, or Smithsonian Channel on any plan. And several channels people expect in a base plan are actually in add-on Extras: TCM and Sundance TV sit in Hollywood Extra, Hallmark channels in Lifestyle Extra, MTV and Paramount Network in Entertainment Extra. The table marks each one.

What are the Extras?

Seven genre packs (Sports, Entertainment, Kids, News, Lifestyle, Hollywood, Heartland) that bolt onto any base plan, plus bundle deals that combine several. A pack's exact contents can differ slightly depending on whether it is attached to Orange or Blue; the table lists each pack's full channel set.

Does Sling TV use channel numbers?

No. It is an app-based service where channels are found by name in the guide, which is why the table above has no number column.

Does Sling TV include a DVR?

Yes, 50 hours of cloud DVR come with every base plan, and an unlimited tier is available as a paid upgrade. Recordings only cover Sling channels, not antenna channels, unless you use AirTV hardware.

Can I get Sling TV for just a day or a weekend?

Yes, and it is unusual among streaming services: Sling Orange sells day, 3-day, and 7-day passes alongside the normal monthly subscription, useful for a single game or event weekend.

Does Sling TV have Spanish-language channels?

Yes. The Sling Latino pack carries 16 Spanish-language channels, Universo, Cine Latino, Discovery en Español, History en Español, Estrella TV, and more, all listed in the add-on section above, and the pack also includes beIN Sports and QVC. It works either as an add-on to any plan or as a standalone subscription, and smaller country-specific packs from México, Sudamérica, Centroamérica, the Caribbean, and Spain are sold alongside it.

What is Sling Freestream?

A separate free, ad-supported tier of streaming channels inside the Sling app that requires no subscription. It changes frequently and is a different product from the paid lineup, so it is not listed on this page.

Is Sling TV available outside the United States?

The lineup above is the US service. Sling operates internationally only as a separate international-content product, not as this channel lineup.
