Sling TV’s a la carte approach to channels sets it apart from its competitors. I like being able to choose channels, but I know some people find it more confusing than useful.
While other services tend to offer only two to four packages, Sling TV offers two basic packages – Blue and Orange – and a wide variety of packages bundling up to a dozen related channels. However, CBS is not listed in any of them. You’ll need an antenna for your local CBS channel or a Paramount+ subscription for these games.

Sling TV’s $40 per month Blue plan includes TBS, TNT and truTV. If you want access to the main ESPN channels and the women’s tournament, you’ll need Sling TV’s Orange plan, which costs $40 per month. Together, Sling Orange and Blue will cost you $55 per month. You can use this combo to watch games on TBS, TNT, truTV, and major ESPN channels. You’ll need the Sports Extra package for $11 per month to watch the lesser-known ESPN channels.
Sling TV’s default cloud DVR offers 50 hours free. If you need more – and who doesn’t? — you can upgrade to 200 hours for $5 per month. The video is broadcast in HDTV 720p. With a Sling Orange plan, you can only watch one stream. But if you have a Sling Blue plan, you can watch shows on three devices simultaneously. The combo plan means you can stream your shows on up to four devices.
