Sling TV Offers $1 Day Passes If 12-16 Seed Advances to Sweet 16 in NCAA Tournament
Looking for cheap live TV? Root for the underdogs in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Starting March 19, people who purchase a Sling Pass for 1, 3, or 7 days are eligible for a special reward if a Cinderella team advances to the Sweet 16.
$4.99/day
If a 12-16 seed reaches the Sweet 16 in either the Men’s or Women’s tournament, people who bought a Sling Pass between March 19- 22 will get a special email to get their next 1-day Pass for just $1. You’ll just need to cash in on the deal before the championship game on April 6.
Sling TV offers 3 different packages of short-term subscriptions:
- 1 Day Pass: 24 hours of instant access for $4.99
- 3 Day Pass: 72 hours of instant access for $9.99
- 7 Day Pass: 7 days of instant access for $14.99
The Sling Day Pass is limited to Sling’s Orange channel package, though you can add a few other channels for the duration of your package. Here’s what’s included:
- ESPN
- TBS
- TNT
- Disney Channel
- Freeform
- ESPN 4K

The irony is that Sling does not carry CBS – the primary home of March Madness. Sling does carry TNT, truTV, and TBS, the other channels you’ll want for the NCAA tourney.
- TBS will televise 21 games, including the National Championship, Final Four Semifinals, Elite Eight, Sweet 16 and First and Second rounds.
- CBS will broadcast 21 games, including the Elite Eight, Sweet 16 and First and Second rounds.
- truTV will air or simulcast a total of 24 games throughout the tournament, beginning with the First Four.
- TNT will air or simulcast a total of 15 games throughout the tournament.
If you want Sling as your primary TV provider, I recommend getting an antenna so you can watch CBS for free.
