Pac-12 on Sling: From Fumbling for the Remote to High Fiving Your Stream
Ah, Pac-12 Networks. The land of sunsets, Saturday afternoon shootouts, and... that nagging question: how do I watch this glorious gridiron goodness on Sling TV? Fear not, fellow fan, for this guide will take you from fumbling for the remote to high fiving your stream faster than a runaway Chip Kelly offense.
First things first: You need Sling TV, duh.
This ain't magic (although those USC trick plays sometimes come close). Sling TV is a streaming service, kind of like cable without the commitment issues of your college fling. Here's the thing: Pac-12 Networks isn't included in the base package, so we gotta get a little fancy.
Enter the Sports Extra: Your Ticket to Pac-12 Paradise
Think of the Sports Extra like the secret handshake to the Pac-12 party. It's an add-on for Sling TV that unlocks a treasure trove of sporty goodness, including, you guessed it, the Pac-12 Networks (all six regional feeds, for the record). Now, Sling TV offers two base packages: Sling Orange and Sling Blue. The good news? The Sports Extra works with both!
But Wait, There's More! (Because Adulting)
Here's the not-so-fun part: the extra cost. The Sports Extra adds a bit to your monthly Sling TV bill, but hey, the price of seeing your team pull off an upset (or avoid a heartbreaking fumble) is priceless, right? We're talking around $15 a month, which is way cheaper than that fancy stadium hot dog you were eyeing.
So, How Do I Actually Do This?
Glad you asked! Signing up for Sling TV and the Sports Extra is easier than navigating the labyrinthine back alleys of the Los Angeles Coliseum. Here's the abridged version:
- Head to Sling TV's website or fire up their app.
- Choose your Sling TV base package (Orange or Blue, it's your call).
- During checkout, look for the glorious "Add-ons" section.
- Spot the Sports Extra, your new best friend, and add it to your cart.
- High five yourself. You're almost there!
- Follow the on-screen instructions and create your Sling TV account.
- Kick back, relax, and enjoy Pac-12 football (or whatever Pac-12 sport tickles your fancy).
And that's it! You're now officially a Sling TV and Pac-12 Network pro. Now get out there and enjoy some college football drama, because with Sling TV, you won't miss a single dropped pass or questionable officiating call.
