Sling TV Reviews 

Sling makes it almost impossible for you to cancel your subscription so I ended up having to take another month and I can’t even get my channels on Customer Service keeps saying it’s my fault I can’t help it their app isn’t connecting to the Internet on my TV every other app I have is so I wanted my money back for the last since the 13th they basically told me to shove it

I ordered the day pass specifically to watch the Brewers game. Tried to watch and it was unavailable and I cannot cancel a day pass. Very disappointed. Will tell friends and family to avoid being ripped off by sling

I have been a Sling subscriber for a year now, and all of the sudden, they are blocking me from accessing the website and the app. I have paid my bill consistently, yet they are not providing me with access to the service--how can this be legal?! There is no customer service phone number to access. I tried contacting their parent company, Dish, because they have a customer service line, but they refused to help me.

Doesnt matter what you wanna watch it basically the same on every channel and that channel is the load screen. 1gb connection using ethernet cord still about 5mins/hr of load screen its worse at peak times. After 8 hrs it wont let you watch sling for longer than 1hr without interrupting your show or having to close out of sling and reopen it. They will also claim you get access to mainstream sports but only get reruns. You cant watch any important final match sport (world cup,superbowl,nba final game) none of witch is played live. Every channel on sling can be watched for free on other nonpaying apps. I do not reccomend wasting you time and money on this scam company.

Bought one-day pass to watch a game, but tried other videos and was surprised with the poor video and audio quality.

Horrible, not sure how else to describe it.

I canceled my service in June and I have an email to prove it. I was charged to renew in July. They would not give me a refund for various reasons such as I had watched something in July. I thought I was watching the free stream. I never watched the free stream before so I didn’t know what was available on it. Customer service was horrible and didn’t resolve anything. They just spam send the terms and conditions and ignore requests. Unethical company and they should be held responsible. They also don’t let you delete your payment method. Will never return.

Sling TV has a Scam going, They wait until you cancel because they actually have NO NFL! Then they restart your subscription and see how long it takes you to Notice. Then will only refund 1 month after you catch them steeling from you. I am battling them with My bank for a $381.00 Refund for fraudulent charges to my Credit Card. You are better off with NO TV!!

It depends on how badly you want to see the content. I've watched it twice in the last week. Each time, the ads kicked after about 10 minutes of the content I wanted to see.

Now, I will think twice every time I choose to watch Sling.

Terrible. Signed up for a plan that said what I wanted was included, it wasn't. Been signed up less than 24 hours and they refuse to refund. Never again.

Do not sign up pay extra for another service. Sling doesn't let you do that!

What does 2 years of a true sling customer who never ever ever writes reviews? Avoid at all cost. There is zero customer support, they have zero clue what they are talking about and have zero empowerment to do anything. I honestly don't think they are even trained at all.

I have been with sling for two years. In January I was notified my plan was increasing. Great not a problem, so I decided to downgrade to a lower plan from $50 to $45 All good! Really...
January $45
Feb $45
March $45
April $45
May $45
June $51.40

So I went to the support spoke to two agents one named Khalil Baron plus a supervisor named silver. I do have three transcripts downloaded to prove it was a real experience.

I asked why was I charged $5 more this month?

Answer...taxes

I asked why then was this not charged since January?

They said oh this is a one time charge next month it will be $45 again

I said ok was their a policy change? I did not receive formal written communication.

They said... this is the policy and next month it will be back to 45.

Ok so I checked my billing dashboard. Next months charges $51.40

So back onto chat and asked for a supervisor.
Waited 9 minutes. I said can I speak to supervisor and I got one. So I asked please tell me why I'm being charged $51.40 and not my usual since Jan 30th $45.
Silver the manager explained it's taxes and I asked again what has changed since Jan 30th. He said in order not be charged you need to file tax exemption? I said tax exemption?!!! Tell me what what has changed since Jan 30th? He said you updated your payment method from a card that expired and I said yes same address same state same everything so again why the extra charge.

It went from its just a one time charge to it's our policy to you need tax exemption to because your updated your reimbursement.

I have three transcripts in hand. It's a joke. I originally downgraded not to pay $50 to end up paying $51 for the basic package less channels and the absolute horrendous user interface.

Look, I'll be honest they seem to not care if you want to cancel services at all really there was zero sentiment to the contrary. In fact I think it's their policy to churn and burn.

There is better services out there and for better value. Pay more for less headaches and zero surprises.
Do not go with sling tv I regret it! Don't believe the marketing I'm a marketing consultant for brands online. Avoid at all costs it's not worth the stress!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be cancelling at the end of the month it's not about the $5 it's a principal and for that $5 they have lost my service and trust for good period end of story a absolutely horrible business model that will soon be the end of what they built as an alternative to the others with customer care and flexibility.

There have been a lot of bugs on my TV app and on my laptop. The customer service chat agent didn't clearly understand what I wrote.

If I could get them a zero star I would. Poor customer service they change things without them notifying you. You can no longer talk to them on the phone if you have a problem only chat and its no better. TV service never works right.

If you want to watch the World Cup do not use sling with fiber optic internet they deliver a mine craft like experience to the game. They have so much lag, bad loading speed constantly and so hard to watch. Not to mention terrible customer service. Any other provider is worth the money sling is a scam.

Slang is worse than the plague. Avoid this company at all cost. it’s like the old song Hotel California. You can check in but you can never check out. Pay for a $4.99 three days subscription and the next thing you know they’re charging you over $40. When you complain to them over a chat, they tell you there are no refunds. I’m surprised Amazon is associated with them. When you bring the issues that you were having, Amazon tells you to bring the issues up with Sling. Amazon is no help at all the bottom line, stay away from this company.

Horrible customer service with misleading terms that don’t provide the customer with needed information about the plan. Unwilling to listen to concerns and ultimately designed to provide subpar services.

Clicked on a link to watch specific event, but after I paid turned out what I paid for didn't have it.

I canceled service on May 24, 2026. I was told service would end on June 1. On June 12, SLING charged another $45.99. I was told that because an IPAD used SLING (which I do have Free Form SLING), I will be charged for the month of June and service will continue until July 12th!!
To the unsuspecting consumer of SLING, I urge you to delete SLING across all devices. Do it immediately after they give you the END DATE. Otherwise, you will be swindled-as I was.
This review need NO STARS!

I subscribe to Sling Blue, Sling Orange, and the Sports package, yet many FIFA World Cup matches are still unavailable to watch. It's hard to understand why the world's biggest sporting event isn't fully accessible despite paying for all of Sling's major packages.

What's even more frustrating is the lack of phone support. When I contacted customer service via chat and asked if there was a number I could call to speak with a representative, I was told there wasn't. For a company providing a paid television service, having no option to speak with customer support by phone is extremely disappointing.

Overall, the combination of incomplete sports coverage and limited customer support has been very frustrating.

I've cancelled my service. Not worth my money.

I did not receive notification of my renewal. They charged me $64.99. As soon as I saw the charge I cancelled my subscription and asked for a refund since it was within a month. they will not refund me. this is bad customer service. I will not be recommending Sling to anyone.
