Sling Subscribers Getting Free Weeklong Preview of NBA League Pass

Sling customers can watch out-of-market games on League Pass, and enjoy nationally-broadcast games on ESPN and TNT with their subscription.

In The Streamable’s expert opinion, It’s hard to find a better value in live TV streaming than Sling TV. Sling’s plans start at just $40 per month, and deliver some of the top cable channels on the market including ESPN, TNT and many others. This week, Sling subscribers will be able to augment that value even further by enjoying free access to NBA League Pass through Monday, Jan. 22.

  • Sling’s free preview of NBA League Pass will allow subscribers to watch out-of-market games all week.
  • Highlights of the week’s schedule include a matchup between the San Antonio Spurs against the Boston Celtics and more.
  • NBA League Pass is also offering customers the chance to subscribe for 50% off for the rest of the regular season.

Watch Basketball and Save with Sling TV

Sling TV is an excellent way to watch regular season NBA basketball. The live TV service carries ESPN in its Orange plan, and TNT is available in both main Sling packages, so all nationally broadcast games on those channels are at the fingertips of Sling customers. Any NBA games nationally broadcast on ABC are simulcast on ESPN3, which is also available with Sling Orange.

Thanks to the free preview, Sling customers will be able to enjoy all out-of-market NBA games on NBA League Pass this week. League Pass offers every out-of-market NBA contest not being broadcast nationally, so if you live outside the home market of your favorite club or just want to browse action around the league, League Pass is definitely the way to go.

Customers who have never tried Sling TV before will want to note the service’s limited-time offer of 50% off their first month of service. That means you can enjoy nationally-broadcast NBA games like Friday’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics on ESPN, as well as out-of-market games like the Celtics taking on rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs through League Pass for the low price of $20 this week.

Get NBA League Pass for 50% Off For the Rest of the Season

The special offers don’t stop with a promo for half off your first month of Sling TV. If you find that you’re enjoying NBA League Pass too much to give it up during your free preview with Sling, the service is offering a fantastic deal of its own to keep roundball fanatics satisfied through the end of the league’s regular season.

Right now, new NBA League Pass customers can subscribe to the service for 50% off the standard price. That means you can watch the race for the NBA postseason and stream every contending team’s out-of-market games for just $49.99 with League Pass, and if you keep your Sling subscription you’ll see all the nationally-televised games on ABC, ESPN, and TNT as well.

Sling and NBA League Pass are a potent combination for basketball fans, especially those living outside the media market of their favorite NBA team. Subscribe to Sling now for just $20 for your first month, and enjoy a free preview of NBA League Pass to see if you’d like to access that service’s deal for 50% off for the rest of the 2023-24 NBA regular season.

  • NBA League Pass

    For basketball fans, NBA League Pass offers the opportunity to follow one team or the entire league with every game (blackout restrictions apply). Prices and features vary greatly, depending on what you’d like to watch.

    Subscriptions include Home and Away broadcasts, Mobile View, plus additional languages and camera angles. You’ll also get in-stream advanced statistics so you can check the box score and get live stats on players and teams without ever leaving the stream.

    The NBA offers three plans: “Team Pass” ($13.99) provides great options if you only want to follow a single team.

    “League Pass” ($14.99) lets you see every game across the entire league.

    The “League Pass Premium” ($22.99) plan provides the option to watch on 3 devices without commercials.

    You can also save by subscribing for the full season. It’s $89.99 / year for the Team Pass, $99.99 / year for the League Pass, or $149.99 / year for League Pass Premium.

    NBA League Pass is also available as an Amazon Prime Video channel.

  • Sling TV

    Sling TV is a live TV streaming service that helps users save money with the option of two distinct plans. The $40/month “Sling Orange” plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN. The $40/month “Sling Blue” plan offers about 40 channels, including Fox and NBC local channels.

    Sling Blue or Orange+Blue users in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco pay a $5 surcharge because they have access to their local ABC affiliate.

    If you subscribe to both plans, you’ll receive a $25 discount (or more depending on the current offer). Sling also offers various “Extra” packs that you can add to your subscription.

    Sling is great for the budget-conscious cord cutter who just wants to watch live TV, but doesn’t need the most comprehensive channel selection.
