But our team's pick for most people to watch TNT, is Sling. Here's why:

  • Big families (or roommates or friends) can watch Sling without stress, as they offer up to 4 simultaneous streams.
  • Sling is available in every region of the United States. (Viewers outside the US can try to access Sling with a VPN, like ExpressVPN — or one of our other top VPNs.)
