Sling TV Announces $5.99 Monthly Price Increase Starting December 20

The streaming service cites rising programming costs as the reason for the hike, affecting all its plans while maintaining its claim as the most affordable live TV option.

Overview

  • Sling TV's subscription prices will rise by $5.99 per month for all plans beginning December 20, 2024.
  • The new prices will be $46 per month for Sling Orange, $51 per month for Sling Blue, and $66 per month for the combined Orange + Blue package.
  • Sling attributes the increase to rising programming costs and emphasizes that its pricing remains over $20 cheaper than competitors like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV.
  • This marks Sling TV's second price hike in 2024, following a regional increase in March, and its fifth increase in the past six years.
  • The service recently introduced 4K streaming in select markets, but it continues to face challenges from competitors offering broader channel lineups and local programming.
