Sling TV adds 4K streaming for free

Sling TV is adding 4K streaming at no extra charge. The service is kicking off its higher-resolution streams with the Fox Sports MLB All-Star Game broadcast in 4K tonight at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. But you’ll need the right Roku or Amazon Fire TV device (see this list) for 4K to work. 

The game is available to Sling Blue subscribers who live in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and other major cities. Beyond the All-Star Game, Sling says it will offer other 4K sports broadcasts, including the 2024 Paris Olympics and college or NFL football games that are shown on networks like FS1 and ESPN. 

YouTube TV also streams network broadcasts in 4K, but it’s an extra $9.99 per month on top of its usual $72.99 monthly fee. Meanwhile, Sling TV subscriptions start at $40 per month, albeit for fewer channels and with the aforementioned device limitations, meaning you’re out of luck with an Apple TV or Google TV.
