Can I restart my Sling TV subscription later?
Sling TV will keep your account details after you cancel. If you paid for a month, you’ll be able to finish it out before you get locked out of your streams. You can always log back into your account later and renew your account, but you’ll never be billed again unless you renew.
Are there any good Sling TV alternatives?
Sling TV isn’t the only game in town for cord-cutters. Other options, such as Philo, offer comparable services, but you may also want to consider Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Direct TV Stream, or Youtube TV.
Not sure what Sling TV alternatives fit your needs? Try Cord Cutter Express!
Sling TV has a fairly good lineup of channels, but it might not carry everything you want. If you’re shopping around, try our Cord Cutter Express tool, which lets you compare different services based on the channels and features you want.
Other great streaming services
Sling TV's limited selection of channels might have you clamoring for something different, or even something extra. You'll find you can fill in the gaps with services like Hulu+Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+.
With Hulu+Live TV, you'll get a much larger selection of channels than what you'd find with Sling TV, as well as access to Hulu's entire on-demand library and original content.
Disney+ is a good add-on service to complement your live TV with its extensive library of Disney-owned content, including Marvel and Star Wars movies and TV shows.
And if you found Sling TV's sports content lacking, you can boost your sports options with whichever service you choose using ESPN+. Thanks to its affordable price, ESPN+ offers live and on-demand sports content streams featuring MLB, MLS, international sports, and UFC.
Sling TV: Easy to join, easy to leave
Whether you're getting into streaming or maybe taking a break from the platform, Sling TV provides quick and easy services.
Creating a Sling TV account is an easy breezy process. And, it's the same story for canceling your subscription. If Sling TV doesn't tickle your fancy, there's an easy way out. And, hey, if you want to give it another shot, it doesn't take a college degree to sign-up again.
