Is Sling TV free on Roku?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

Sling TV is not entirely free on Roku. While Roku users can access some free on-demand movies and shows available on Sling TV, they cannot access the entire Sling TV experience without subscribing to a paid plan. However, Roku users do have the option to subscribe to standalone channels offered by Sling TV without starting an account or free trial.

It’s important to note that Sling TV is a subscription-based streaming service that offers a variety of live and on-demand TV channels. The service has different packages available, including Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and Sling Orange + Blue, each offering different channel lineups and features.

Although Roku users can access some free on-demand content on Sling TV, they will not have access to all the channels and features available to paid subscribers. The free content on Sling TV for Roku users is limited to a selection of movies and shows that are available on-demand. This means that live TV channels and certain on-demand content may require a subscription.

However, Roku users can still subscribe to standalone channels offered by Sling TV without starting a full Sling TV subscription. These standalone channels, known as Extras, allow users to add specific channels to their Roku device without subscribing to a Sling TV package. This way, Roku users can enjoy content from individual channels that are available on Sling TV without the need for a full subscription.
