Does Sling TV have an ad-supported plan?
Sling TV is always ad-supported. Its live and on-demand content includes ads, and there is no ad-free option.
What is the difference between Sling Orange and Sling Blue?
They are two different packages sold at the same base price, not a cheap tier and an expensive one. Sling Orange carries ESPN and the Disney channels. Sling Blue carries Fox and NBC and allows more simultaneous streams. Neither one contains the other, so the choice is about which channels you want rather than how much you spend. Sling has also sold Orange and Blue together as a single combined plan at a higher price, which is not tracked here. Orange is the plan charted on this site because the two have usually moved in step.
Why does Sling Blue cost more in some areas?
In markets where Sling Blue includes local ABC, NBC or Fox stations, it costs more than the standard Blue price, and the surcharge is larger when all three are included. Sling Orange does not carry those local stations. The Blue price history on this page is for markets without the local stations.
What are Sling Select and Sling Essentials?
Both are lower-cost limited bundles rather than replacements for Orange or Blue. Sling Select arrived in August 2025 and Sling Essentials in April 2026. They carry noticeably fewer channels than the two core plans, so their price is not directly comparable to the Orange or Blue price even though it is much lower. That is why Sling can be listed as one of the cheapest live TV services on one row and at a higher price on another.
Which Sling plan is the price on this page?
The headline price and the chart line are Sling Orange. Every other plan Sling sells that this site tracks, including Blue, Select and Essentials, has its own price history table on this page, so you can compare them side by side. If your bill does not match, check which package you are on and whether you have channel add-ons, which are not tracked here.
