In 2025, Sling rolled out its 1, 3, and 7 Day Passes, which give customers access to every channel on the Sling Orange platform for as little as $5, offering customizable, affordable streaming options no matter your budget. Kind of ideal if you're, say, a college student rooting for your favorite team at this year's college basketball tournament , but you only want to watch certain games or teams. Of course, you don't have to be a student to take advantage of these Passes; you just need to be a smart shopper.

With Sling's Day Passes, you can get access to channels like ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, and TBS, which will carry a majority of men's and women's college hoops games this March. And for as little as $1 more, you can add Sling Sports Extra, which gets you ESPNU, ESPNews, and more. This year, Sling is betting on the underdogs at the men's and women's tournaments too.

If you sign up for a Day Pass to watch the basketball tournament between March 19 and March 22, and an underdog team (ranked 12-16) advances to the third round, you'll get an offer to grab another 1 Day Pass to catch the underdog's game for just $1. More details on that promotion and how to get a Sling 1, 3, or 7 Day Pass are below.
