How to Install Sling TV on FireStick | Free VOD & Live TV

This is a step-by-step guide on how to install and watch Sling TV on FireStick, Fire TV, FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.

Sling TV is a US-based streaming service that features live TV and on-demand content as an alternative to traditional cable TV.

It offers both free and paid options. In the free plan, you can access roughly 400 live TV channels like IFC, AMC, Choppertown, and Discovery along with about 5000 on-demand titles.

As for the paid option, Sling TV has two primary packages: Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Each plan costs $40/mo. and depending on the subscription, you may watch channels like NFL Network, CNN, NBC, and Fox TV.

Since Sling TV strictly creates content for the US audience, you will have to use a VPN and connect it to the US server to access it worldwide. ExpressVPN is our recommended choice.
