So, you want to watch live sports on the cheap? You aren’t alone, and plenty of Live TV streaming services are ready to cater to your needs. But one service is looking better than all the others at the moment, and that’s Sling. Sling TV has two plans, Orange and Blue, plus a combo that is called “Orange + Blue” and all of the plans are 50% off right now for your first month. So, you can get either Sling Orange or Sling Blue for just $20 (instead of the usual $40) or Sling Orange + Blue for $28 for one month. That’s a savings of $20 or $28 dollars, respectively. Tap the button below to see the plans and offers yourself, or keep reading to see how to get the most out of Sling for your sports watching.

Why you should subscribe to Sling

Current Sling comes with three plans. All Sling plans come with 50 hours of DVR that can be used for all channels (except Local Now, ESPN3, ACC Network Extra, and SEC Network+) and many of the offered channels offer on-demand content. What channels you get, and how many devices you can stream on, depend on which plan you get.

There are 24 shared channels that come with all Sling plans. While, for the sports fanatic, they might not be the most appealing, they do have their place. For example, you get CNN and TNT. Plus, convince the others in your house that Sling is for you with channels like Cartoon Network, Lifetime, Vice, Nick Jr., and the Food Network.

Sling Orange is made for sports lovers and has six exclusive channels for sports and family programming. There are ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, Motortrend, Disney, and Freeform.

Sling Blue focuses on news and entertainment still has sports channels among its 14 exclusives. These include the NFL Network and FS1. Plus, with Sling Blue you can watch on up to three devices at a time.

Sling Orange + Blue combines both plans, giving you the most possible stations to watch. And, remember, it is only $8 more than the other plans for your first month.

At the moment, there is no Sling free trial, so this is the best you’re going to get for the time being. It’s still a deal not worth being passed up, and will work even if you’ve used the service in the past. So, tap the button below and sign up for the service you want if Sling appeals to you, with Sling Blue and Sling Orange only costing $20 for the first month right now. That’s a savings of $20. Get the combine package for just $8 more at $28 for your first month. If you’re not enticed by these great rates, however, don’t despair. You still have options. For one, you can tree using a modern TV antenna for free local sports via ATSC 3.0. You can also try out Fubo, which has a great sports package, but is more expensive.

This $85 Cyber Monday soundbar/subwoofer will sell out soon
An image depicting the Creative Stage V2 2.1 Soundbar with Subwoofer along with its remote control.

If you look at Cyber Monday soundbar deals, you'll see products all across the price spectrum, but it doesn't take a PhD in statistic to recognize they're skewed toward more expensive offerings. But it doesn't have to be that way. Take, for example, this Amazon Cyber Monday deal on the Creative Stage V2 2.1 Soundbar with Subwoofer. Normally $110, it is 23% off and down to just $85

Don't take that savings of $25 for granted, as this is a 'Lightning Deal' on Amazon, meaning there are only a limited number of them available. While there are 97% of them remaining as I write this, we aren't even at the point where East Coast workers get off yet, so if you want to see (and take advantage) of one of the most exciting Cyber Monday deals under $100 go ahead and tap the button below now. Keep reading to see why we're so excited about it.

It’s a similar story for Cyber Monday Bose headphone deals if you're looking to spend a little more on your cans.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio3 Headphones
Our Beats Studio3 Headphones review explains all. Notably, we found them to be expensive so you can ignore that issue now they’re on sale. While the bass is a little underwhelming for Beats, they’re otherwise very comfortable, offer easy pairing with Apple products, and have a great design. Since its launch in 2020, the Beats Studio3 has gradually decreased in price, making their limited-time discount for Cyber Monday even more appealing.

Why you should buy the LG QNED80 50-inch Mini-LED TV
Not quite sure what mini-LED is? That’s ok. It’s effectively a premium backlight-based technology that builds on traditional LED-LCD tech. It does so by using LEDs that are much smaller and can be used in great numbers. That means you get an image with better, deeper blacks and a much better level of control over your TV’s brightness. With LG being one of the best TV brands around, it knows how to use such technology well.
