Sling TV announced today that they’ve added both MLB Network and MLB Network Strike Zone to their Sports Extra Pack. The add-on is $5 for Sling Orange or $10 for Sling Blue customers.
MLB Network, which is primarily owned by Major League Baseball, brings more than 150 live games, daily news, highlights, and original programming like MLB Tonight and Hot Stove, as well as classic games and documentaries.
MLB Network Strike Zone is a commercial-free “NFL RedZone” style whip-around channel that includes up-to-the-minute highlights, live look-ins and updates, all commercial-free. The channel is available on Tuesday and Friday nights when live games air on MLB Network.
Before today the channels were only available on PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV. With the addition of Sling, this is now the cheapest option for cord-cutters to get MLB Network.
