SLING TV PLANS
No service in streaming TV offers the level of customization as Sling TV. From its multitiered channel packages to its more than 50 add-on options, Sling TV wants to be your streaming solution for cable. Now, the addition of Sling Latino offers a low-cost entry point into the world of streaming TV for Spanish-speaking viewers. Here’s what you need to know about Sling Latino.
What is Sling Latino?
Sling TV is a live TV streaming service, a way to catch your favorite shows without a long-term cable contract. Using a Roku, game console, or other streaming device, viewers can stream live TV using their internet connection.
Sling Latino is the banner under which Sling’s Spanish-language offerings are housed. There are a number of Spanish-speaking regions represented in Sling Latino. Customers can choose from one of these Extra packs for $5 a month to get region-specific or interest-specific programming:
- Caribe
- Centroamerica
- Deportes
- España
- Mexico
- Sudamerica
There are also eight premium channels en Español to enhance a subscriber’s bilingual or Spanish-only experience.
The Sling Latino brand includes the Best of Spanish package, the company’s standalone streaming package of 17 Spanish language channels. It features NBC Universo, History en Espanol, Bein Sports, Bloomberg TV El Financiero, and lots more, providing news, entertainment, and even children’s programming for one low cost each month.
A customer can order Best of Spanish for just $10, or add Sling Orange or Sling Blue to the deal, providing additional basic cable options like ESPN and the Travel Channel.

Is Sling Latino worth it?
Sling Latino is a wonderful package for Spanish language households, offering a potent mix of culture, entertainment, news, and sports for one low cost. The ability to add an additional Sling TV package, along with a la carte extras like movie channels, provides flexibility for families with different needs. Sling TV has recognized that Latinx people aren’t monolithic, providing add-on options from around the world to give people a taste of home outside of the basic package. With a starting price of just $10 per month, Sling Latino is a steal of a deal.
