Sling Orange vs. Sling Blue Review 2022

You’re probably cutting the cable cord or looking for a cheaper live TV streaming service, so you’ve ended up here. Well, let us help you decide which $35 per month Sling TV plan will be the best fit for you.

Both Sling Orange and Sling Blue are the same price, but Sling Blue has about 15 more channels than Sling Orange. And get this: both plans have almost a completely different channel lineup.

We’ll go over the channel lineups, how they compare, how they differ, and which one is the best for you. We'll tell you now: our winner is Sling Blue.

Sling Orange and Sling Blue have a somewhat completely different channel lineup. Yes, it’s a little complicated. But, no need to worry.

We put together a table to compare the channels each plan has. Want more children’s channels? Go for Sling Orange. Need more news and lifestyle channels? Go for Sling Blue.

But we’ll quickly highlight a few favorite channels each plan has that the other doesn’t:

• Sling Orange has Disney Channel, Freeform, and the ESPN channels
• Sling Blue has NFL Network, FOX News, MSNBC, Discovery Channel, FOX, and NBC

Check out our full table down below that compares all channels that each Sling Orange and Sling Blue include in their plans.

But maybe you won’t need a peek at the table because you know your daughter loves Elena of Avalor, so Sling Orange is your pick. Or you need Sling Blue because you can’t miss your NFL Total Access.

If you checked out our channel comparison table, you already saw the sports channels each Sling plan includes. But we thought we’d just include a small section to highlight the best channels.

Sling Orange is a great option because it has your ESPN coverage, but Sling Blue caters to the NFL and Undisputed fans.

Sling Orange includes the following sports channels:

• ESPN
• ESPN2
• ESPN3
• Motortrend
• TNT

Sling Blue includes the following sports channels:

• NFL Network
• FOX Sports (FS1)
• TNT

You'll have access to premium channels and add-ons for the same price with Sling Orange and Sling Blue. 

But some friendly advice: if you’re out looking for a cheaper live TV streaming service, you may want to shy away from upping your monthly subscription cost.

Sling Orange is going to be the best option for the Monday Night Football watchers, but Sling Blue is going to be the best option for everyone in the family.

With around 15 channels more than Sling Orange, Sling Blue will give you the best bang for your buck. It has a good mixture of lifestyle, kids, sports, reality, and news channels. 

But you may have to sacrifice the number of channels with the Orange package if your family needs Disney Channel, Nick Jr., and ESPN.
