ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sling TV, the most flexible live streaming service, is rewriting the rules on streaming just in time for College Football. Today, fans can grab the first-of-its-kind, Sling Orange Day Pass subscription for only $4.99. Instant access, no strings attached, live sports, entertainment, news and more.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"This is the deal ESPN and Disney don't want you to know about,\" said Seth Van Sickel, Senior Vice President, Product and Operations, Sling TV. \"They're charging $30 a month for games people used to get without paying more.
