Yes, the deal was legitimate—but it is no longer available. Sling offered new and returning customers a 24-hour Sling Orange Day Pass for $1 from November 19 through November 30, 2025. The promotion included Black Friday on November 28, but ended on November 30. Sling’s regular 1 Day Pass is now listed at $4.99.
Sling’s original announcement confirms both the promotion and its expiration.
What the $1 Sling deal included
The promotion discounted Sling Orange’s 1 Day Pass from its regular $4.99 price to $1. It was a one-time purchase, did not require a monthly Sling subscription, and was available to both new and returning customers.

Each pass provided 24 hours of access from purchase and activation. It did not run until midnight, and it started immediately after checkout. A pass bought at 8 p.m. would generally remain active until about 8 p.m. the next day.

The important sports limitation
The pass was useful for events carried on the included ESPN networks, TNT or TBS, including some college football, NBA, NHL and Formula 1 programming. It was not an all-sports or all-football pass.

Orange did not include every channel used for major football coverage. Some events required channels such as FS1 or NFL Network, which were not part of the Orange Day Pass. Sling Blue was needed for some of that programming, and Blue was not available as a comparable day pass in the coverage of the 2025 offer.
Broadcast rights also vary by event. Having ESPN, TNT or TBS does not guarantee access to every game or competition associated with that network or league. Confirm the event’s listed channel before purchasing.

Could you add Sports Extra?
Yes. Sling allowed Extras to be added to Day Passes, with the cost prorated for the pass duration. During the $1 promotion, Sling said Sports Extra started at $1 for a Day Pass.
Currently, Sling lists Sports Extra at an additional $1 with a 1 Day Pass, making the listed combination $5.99 before taxes or other charges. The add-on does not bypass blackouts, broadcast-rights restrictions or the need for the correct base channel. Pay-per-view events are also not included and must be purchased separately, according to Sling’s channel FAQ.

How the pass worked
- Create or sign in to a Sling account.
- Select the Orange 1 Day Pass.
- Complete the one-time purchase.
- Start watching immediately.
- Use the service for 24 hours.
- Allow the pass to expire, or purchase another pass separately.
The historical $1 checkout path should not be expected to work now. Sling says its Day Pass service works on supported streaming devices, smart TVs, phones, computers and tablets, with a reliable internet connection of at least 3 Mbps. Its current page also advertises 50 hours of free cloud DVR; that is a current product feature and should not automatically be treated as a confirmed feature of the 2025 promotion.
What Sling costs now
The following prices were listed by Sling on August 16, 2026 and may change. They are shown before taxes and optional add-ons.
| Option | Access | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Orange 1 Day Pass | 24 hours | $4.99 |
| Orange 3 Day Pass | 72 hours | $9.99 |
| Orange 7 Day Pass | 7 days | $14.99 |
| Orange 1 Day Pass + Sports Extra | 24 hours | $5.99 |
| Sling Orange monthly | Ongoing monthly access | $45.99/month |
Three separate current 1 Day Passes would cost $14.97, so the 3 Day Pass is cheaper at $9.99. The 7 Day Pass is a better fit for a full week, while the monthly plan makes more sense for recurring live-TV use.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Which current option fits?
- One event: Choose the current 1 Day Pass if the event is on an Orange channel.
- A weekend or tournament: The 3 Day Pass costs less than three individual day passes.
- A full sports-heavy week: The 7 Day Pass offers longer access for $14.99.
- Regular viewing: Consider Sling Orange’s monthly service.
- Free programming: Sling says expired pass holders can continue watching hundreds of free Sling Freestream channels, but Freestream does not replace paid access to ESPN, TNT or other premium Orange channels.
Whatever option you choose, verify the event channel first and buy close to the start time. Because access begins immediately and sales for the historical promotion were final, purchasing too early could waste part of the 24-hour window.
Bottom line
Sling’s $1 Orange Day Pass was a genuine Black Friday 2025 promotion, not a recurring $1 subscription or a scam. It offered 24 hours of Sling Orange access without a monthly commitment, but it expired on November 30, 2025. The current replacement is the $4.99 Orange 1 Day Pass, with 3-day and 7-day options available for longer viewing.
