Sling TV’s streaming TV price goes up by $5.99 next month

There are two packages: Sling Orange, which includes Disney and ESPN networks, and Sling Blue, which includes Fox and NBC programming that previously cost $40 per month, individually. Now, they will cost $45.99 per month. There’s also the combo Sling Orange plus Blue, which offers a mix of both packages for $55 per month — but will go up to $61. Current subscribers will see the price change with their billing date on or after December 20th.

Sling TV argues it still has the best pricing compared to competitors:

These increases are industry wide — other leading streaming providers have had increases throughout 2024. Despite this, Sling continues to be the most affordable option with offerings more than twenty dollars less per month versus other providers. 

Sling continues to provide choice, by offering some of the lowest prices in paid live TV. Flexible add on packs are available for even further customization.

YouTube TV, likely Sling TV’s biggest competitor, offers its streaming TV service for $72.99 per month. Sling TV’s full $61 package is still cheaper and includes 4K, but it’s looking like less of a deal with the price increase considering spotty local channel support compared to Google’s offering.
