How To Watch College Basketball With Sling
Sling has more options than ever to watch men and women’s college basketball during the 2025/26 season. If you’re a casual fan who only wants to watch the big games, you can subscribe to one of the all new Passes by Sling. A Day Pass (available for $4.99) gives you 24-hour access to the 34 channels included with the Sling Orange Package, including ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 (which simulcasts sports on ABC); you can also get a Week Pass ($14.99) with access to those same channels for a seven-day period, as well as a Weekend Pass ($9.99) for access from Friday through Sunday. If the game you want to watch is on a channel like ACC Network or ESPNU, you can add the Sports Extra pack to your Pass for as little as $1.
If you’re a regular viewer of college basketball, the best options are Sling Orange and Sling Blue. With Sling Orange, you’ll get sports channels like ESPN and ESPN2; with Sling Blue, you can watch college hoops on FS1, plus FOX, ABC, and/or NBC in certain markets. You’ll get a price break by combining Sling Orange + Blue, and to get the most college basketball, you can add our Sports Extra pack, which includes ESPNU, SEC Network, and ACC Network with Sling Orange, and FS2 and Big Ten Network with Sling Blue. Both Sling Orange and Blue include TNT and TBS, which will televise a majority of the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, including the Final Four® and NCAA championship game. Select men’s tournament games will air on CBS, which is not available with Sling. However, you can watch CBS (and other local channels) with a digital antennae or subscribe to Paramount+ to stream it live. ESPN will have complete coverage of the women’s tournament.
Lastly, if you’re mostly a fan of specific conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, or the Big East, the new Sling Select package includes FS1 and FOX in certain markets. FOX and FS1 will carry dozens of games from the top teams in those conferences, along with the Big East tournament in March. Sling Select also includes NBC and ABC in certain markets, both of which will carry games throughout the regular season. Here’s a look at all of the local markets available with Sling Blue or Sling Select.
With all of these options, Sling gives you the most flexibility to watch as much or as little college basketball as you want. With Sling, you shoot and you score.
