Ready to cancel Sling TV? We’ll tell you how to do it with ease

Sling TV is a great live TV streaming option, but if you’re ready to cancel we’ll help you do so!

We heartily recommend Sling TV to all cord-cutters, especially those seeking a way to watch top cable channels without having to pay for huge channel packages stuffed with networks they don’t intend to watch. However, we also understand that sometimes customers have to cancel their streaming subscriptions for a variety of reasons. For example, Sling has announced an upcoming price increase, and if you’re ready to move on, I’m here to help you figure out how to cancel your account.

Everything you need to know to cancel Sling TV

How to cancel Sling TV

Sling TV strives to be customer-friendly during all cycles of your subscription, including in how easy it is to cancel. The service doesn’t make you call an 800-number or wait on hold before canceling your account; all it takes is a few clicks.

  1. Head to the Sling website to start the process.
  2. Click “My Account.”
  3. In the “Your Subscription” section, click “Cancel Subscription.”
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish shuttering your account.

It’s a quick process, and you’ll still be able to access your Sling account until the end of your paid subscription period. Once that’s over, you’ll be ready to move on from Sling TV for good!

What’s your best alternative to Sling TV?

If you liked the time you spent with Sling TV, and are canceling purely for financial reasons, you should check out Sling Freestream. This service is available to former Sling subscribers as well as viewers who have never paid for the service before.

Sling Freestream offers more than 500 free streaming channels, as well as 40,000+ on-demand episodes and movies. It offers content in every genre, from comedy to true crime, news, and sports. Audiences on Sling Freestream even get 10 free hours of DVR to record shows and movies on live channels for on-demand viewing.

Viewers on Sling Freestream also get access to the Sling TV Rewards program. This program tracks viewers who watch their Sling service for 30 minutes per day; once you hit this threshold, you get one entry into Sling Rewards. Watching two days in a row gets you another two entries, and so on for a maximum of seven entries for watching seven days in a row.

Cash prizes of up to $10,000 are available in the Sling Rewards promotion, which is a tidy reward indeed, especially for watching free TV. Sling Freestream may not have all the cable channels of a paid Sling subscription, but it still offers a wide range of content and fantastic features.
