We started Sling to solve a long-frustrating problem in TV entertainment - missing your favorite shows and sports because you weren't in front of your living room TV. The inspiration for Sling came from the desire to watch live home team baseball games while traveling for business. That simple desire led us to create a suite of solutions tailored to you. With Sling, entertainment comes with you, to enjoy on your terms.

How Sling Works

Sling makes it simple to access your live and recorded shows, movies and sports. Whether in the home or on the go, with a Sling device connected at home and Slingplayer on your mobile device, you’re in control of your TV experience.

Ways to Use Sling

We've seen Sling used in countless ways, from catching the game live to connecting friends overseas to each other and the entertainment they love. Check out all the ways you can benefit from the power of Sling. It's perfect for:

Sports fans and information junkies. Sling grants instant access to live sporting events without blackouts, and time-sensitive breaking national or local news.

TV enthusiasts. Sling adds powerful discovery tools to your living room TV screen and helps you find what you want to watch, when you want to watch it. You can even find all the games and view live sports scores and stats while you’re watching the game.

Frequent travelers or expats. Take your home TV with you anywhere with an Internet connection. No VPN or geoblocking. No streaming service or app can do that.

College students or snowbirds. No need to pay for another cable or satellite subscription where you are. Simply connect to your Sling at home from your laptop or mobile device, or use an Apple TV, Chromecast, or Roku to watch on another big screen TV.

Military personnel. Wherever you are deployed, you can stay connected to what's going on at home.

Moms and Dads on the go. Wouldn't you rather be watching the game while waiting for piano lessons to be done?
