With Sling TV adding NBCSN to its new Sling Blue streaming service, you can watch Premier League games televised on NBCSN and NBC without needing a cable or TV subscription.
In addition to NBCSN and the Premier League, Sling Blue also includes NBC, FOX Sports 1, FOX Sports 2, FOX, BBC America, Univision, UniMas and 25+ over channels. And if you like, you can also combine Sling Blue with Sling Orange to get ESPN and ESPN2 as well as the extra packages to include beIN SPORTS, beIN SPORTS en Español and more.
For the month of August, Sling Blue is including CNBC at no extra cost, so you can make sure you won’t miss a single Premier League game (given that some of the matches have been moved from NBCSN to CNBC because of the Olympics).
Sling TV is currently offering a free 7-day trial.
For the free trial, you can try as many of the channels as you like. But after the trial ends, you have a choice between:
Sling Blue — NBCSN, FS1, FS2, FOX, NBC, Univision, UniMas, FOX Sports regional channels and 25+ entertainment and news channels ($25/month)
Sling Orange — ESPN, ESPN2, AMC, CNN, Disney Channel and 20+ news and entertainment channels ($20/month), or
Sling Orange and Sling Blue combined — $40/month.
