Sling TV celebrates its 5th anniversary by offering a month of streaming for just $5

Sling TV is celebrating its 5th anniversary this week with a special offer for new and returning subscribers. If you're ready to cut the cable company out of your life, or ready to give Sling's live TV streaming service another shot, you can sign up today for as little as $5 per month! Sling has a few different plans you can subscribe to, with each one discounted only through February 11. This deal is only valid on your first month of service, after which the monthly cost will rise to its usual price unless you decide to cancel your subscription.

There are three services at Sling to choose from: Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and Orange & Blue. The first two options feature some of the same channels, though the biggest difference between the two is that Sling Orange includes various ESPN channels, FreeForm, and Disney Channel while Sling Blue includes FX, SyFy, BET, and more. If you can live without one of those sets of channels, you can start your Sling TV membership for only $5 for the first month. After that time, your membership will automatically renew at the service's full price of $30 per month unless you decide to cancel beforehand. You can cancel at any time and still use the remainder of the month you've paid for.

If both Sling Blue and Sling Orange have channels you want to watch, Sling's Orange & Blue package was made for you. Thanks to Sling's anniversary offer, you'll be paying just $20 this month as opposed to its regular price of $45. While the deal is good for only one month of service, you can always choose to cancel during your first month if you decide Sling isn't for you. There's really no better time to try it out than now.

A full list of Sling TV's channels can be found here; many of them come through add-ons of extra packages that come for an additional monthly fee, so you'll want to keep that in mind while browsing, as well as which devices Sling can be accessed on.

Alternatively, Sling is offering a free Amazon Fire TV Stick when you pre-pay for two months of service at its regular price of either $30 for Sling Orange or Blue, or $45 for the combo package. That could be a better option for you if you don't currently have a streaming device or want another one. These deals won't last, so sign up now at Sling to see what it's all about. If you're still unsure which streaming service is for you, CordCutters has a guide that can help you make a decision.
