‘Sling Fling’ unlocks 100 channels of Sling TV

by Jim Kimble / Updated: February 9, 2021

Sling TV unlocks 100+ channels to celebrate

Are you ready for a fling with Sling TV before Valentine’s Day? 

Starting today at 5 p.m. ET, Sling TV is celebrating its sixth anniversary by unlocking six nights of free primetime TV. 

The “Sling Fling” event will let people watch over 100 live TV channels along with free access to Showtime. 

On-demand channels will also be available from Sling Orange, Sling Blue and four other popular Extra add-on bundles. 

“Sling Fling will give cable customers an opportunity to experience Sling TV’s extensive line-up of live and on-demand content, so they can happily leave cable behind with confidence,” said Michael Schwimmer, group president, Sling TV. “Cable customers have suffered for too many years and they just want a better option — the channels they love at a much lower price. Our goal is to give everyone the chance to explore the benefits of live streaming with SLING TV, and join the millions of Sling TV subscribers who save money and enjoy their favorite sports, news and entertainment.”

How does Sling Fling work? 

The free streaming thanks to Sling Fling happens from 5 p.m. ET to midnight between Feb. 9 to Feb. 14. 

To start streaming for free Sling TV requires you to create an account, but does not require a credit card, debit card, or payment. 

New customers can also sign up for a big discount. Starting today, customers can get a $25 discount for their first month of Sling Orange or SLING Blue (paying just $10 for the first month). 

You can also get a free AirTV Mini when you prepay for one month of Sling TV at the regular price of $35.

Sling had a similar promotion last winter called the Sling TV Happy Hour, and it was a welcome distraction as COVID-19 cases began spiking across the U.S. 

Here is a schedule of upcoming shows and live sports to watch after you sign up for Sling Fling.
