Add a Discovery+ subscription for just $5.99

You heard that right! Now you can add Discovery+ to your Sling subscription for an additional $5.99 each month. With a plethora of content to choose from, you’ll have a new and exciting array of shows and channels to keep you endlessly entertained.

What types of packages are available?

The $5.99 option is ad-supported. This means that you will have commercials throughout your programming. For some customers, this is the perfect way to save a few dollars each month! For others, it can be interrupting. For those looking to skip those ads and have a seamless viewing experience, there is a $9.99 option! 

How do I sign up for Discovery+?

We’ve made this process super simple! All you have to do is sign up through the Sling app and everything available in Discovery+ will be incorporated into your current experience. Or, you’re also welcome to go to the My Account page and add individual subscriptions from there. This would also be true for all premium content add-ons, such as Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, MGM+ and STARZ!

Once I have signed up, can I log into Discovery+ on their app or website?

This offer is exclusive to Sling, meaning that you will need to sign into the Sling app to watch any and all content on Discovery+. Not to worry, we’ve made the experience as smooth as possible while putting all of your favorite entertainment into one place. This way, you won’t have to keep track of a bunch of different login usernames and passwords. With your Sling credentials, you’ll have a single entry point to all of your TV subscriptions.

Do Discovery+ channels work differently than regular channels?

On the technical end of things, we refer to these channels as “JIP” channels. Essentially, this means that the channels don’t play from a long list of scheduled shows and episodes. Instead, these channels will play the same grouping of episodes on a loop! The idea here is that customers can catch their favorite episodes even if they’ve missed them the first time around. However, this means that recording, fast forwarding, pausing and rewinding are unavailable when watching these channels.
