You Want ESPN+ on Sling TV? Hold Your Horses, Sports Fan!
Ah, the thrill of the game, the camaraderie of a well-placed "you call that a foul?!" at the TV screen. You crave ESPN+, that magical land of exclusive content and niche sports documentaries (seriously, did you know there's a competitive eating league?). But here's the thing, Sling TV, while it offers the classic ESPN channels, doesn't include ESPN+ in its base package.
Hold on, don't throw your jersey at the wall just yet! There are ways to navigate this sports streaming labyrinth, and emerge victorious, remote in hand, ready to shout at the screen like a pro.
Channel Your Inner Sherlock Holmes: Unveiling the Sling TV Lineup
First things first, Sling TV offers two main packages: Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Sling Orange is your best bet for ESPN glory, as it includes the classic ESPN channels. Sling Blue is more for the reality TV and FOX News enthusiasts (hey, no judgement, everyone's got their vice).
Here's the catch: ESPN+ is a separate streaming service, kind of like a VIP section of the sports bar. You'll need a separate subscription for that extra helping of sports goodness.
Don't Sweat It, We've Got Options:
1. The Solo Act: Subscribe to ESPN+ Directly
This is a straightforward approach. Head over to ESPN's website, sign up for ESPN+, and enjoy a world of exclusive content. It's like having your own personal sports analyst whispering sweet nothings (about the game, not you) in your ear.
2. The Dream Team: Sling Orange + ESPN+ Subscription
Get the best of both worlds! Sling Orange for the classic ESPN channels, and an ESPN+ subscription for the exclusive content. This is the ultimate combo for the sports fanatic who needs their daily dose of SportsCenter and that documentary about the history of curling (because why not?).
3. The Thrifty Fanatic: The Disney Bundle
Here's a sneaky little option. If you're already subscribed to Disney+ (because, hello, baby Yoda!), you might be eligible for the Disney Bundle. This magical package includes Disney+, Hulu (which sometimes has ESPN+ content), and yes, you guessed it, ESPN+. Check your Disney+ account to see if this bundle is available to you. It's like a three-for-one sale on streaming services, but way cooler (and probably less likely to end in a fight over the last donut).
So You See, Sports Fanatic, There's Hope!
Don't despair! With a little planning and some know-how, you can be back to watching obscure European soccer leagues and yelling at the refs in no time. Now go forth, conquer the world of sports streaming, and remember, there's always next season!
