While Sling TV isn\u2019t primarily known for its sports offerings, it certainly doesn\u2019t exclude them either, including NHL games in its lineup. However, the extent to which you can access NHL games on Sling TV depends on various factors.<\/p>\n
Firstly, Sling TV offers two main channel packages: Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Although you can opt for just one, the platform encourages subscribing to both for a more comprehensive viewing experience. If you\u2019re selecting just one, Sling Orange is recommended as it includes ESPN, TBS, and TNT, where national NHL games are broadcast.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Sling TV provides additional channel bundles called \u201cSling TV Extras,\u201d which can complement the main channel packages. Notably, NHL Network is included in either of the $11-a-month Sports Extra add-ons.<\/p>\n
Yet, despite these offerings, NHL coverage on Sling TV has its limitations. This isn\u2019t necessarily Sling\u2019s fault but rather a consequence of TV rights distribution. Some out-of-market NHL games may require ESPN+, while others might be available through regional sports networks, which can be subject to changes.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, ABC broadcasts some NHL games, but access to ABC on Sling TV is restricted to certain markets. For those outside these areas, alternative streaming services like YouTube TV or Hulu With Live TV, or the use of an over-the-air antenna, are necessary.<\/p>\n
Setting up an over-the-air antenna with Sling TV is an option, albeit with a bit of initial effort. However, once set up, the channels will seamlessly integrate into the Sling app alongside other streaming options.<\/p>\n
In essence, while Sling TV does offer NHL games, primarily those broadcast nationally, accessing the full spectrum of NHL coverage may require additional sources. True hockey enthusiasts may find themselves utilizing multiple platforms to ensure comprehensive game coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
