You, Champions League Glory, and Sling TV: A Match Made in Streaming Heaven (Well, Almost)
Ah, the Champions League. The roar of the crowd, the silky skills on display, and the heart-stopping drama that unfolds faster than you can say "offside trap." But let's face it, catching these epic matches can feel like trying to chase down Messi in his prime – nearly impossible. Fear not, fellow football fanatics, for there's a solution that won't leave you needing a lie down in a dark room after dealing with cable companies. Enter Sling TV, the streaming service that lets you ditch the box and watch the beautiful game in glorious high definition (or should we say, high defenition, because let's be honest, some of those tackles are downright criminal).
But Does Sling TV Actually Show the Champions League?
Hold your horses there, Roy Keane. Here's the truth, delivered with all the finesse of a perfectly placed lob: Sling TV itself doesn't currently broadcast the Champions League. Insert dramatic music here. Don't despair! Just like a clever pirouette around a defender, there's a way around this.
CBS holds the exclusive rights to broadcast Champions League matches in the US. That means you'll need a separate subscription to watch the games. But don't worry, Sling TV plays well with others – you can add on Paramount+ to your Sling TV package, which does carry CBS. Now we're talking!
Okay, But How Much is This Gonna Cost Me?
Here's the beauty of Sling TV – you can pick a package that fits your budget, just like a shrewd transfer deal. Sling offers two base packages, Orange and Blue, each with different channel lineups. Neither package includes CBS, but you can add it on with various Sling TV + extras packages. Do some quick maths (or should that be math, for our American readers?) to figure out what works best for you.
Pro Tip: Sling TV offers frequent promotions for new subscribers, so you might be able to snag a discount on your first month. Just be sure to check the fine print before you commit, because nobody likes a hidden fee in the box (although, with streaming, there isn't exactly a box…).
Now I Can Finally Watch Champions League Without the Cable Drama!
Not quite, but you're getting there, champ! Once you've got your Sling TV and Paramount+ subscriptions sorted, you're ready to witness world-class football. Download the Sling TV app and Paramount+ app to your favorite device, find a comfy spot (avoid that beanbag chair – nobody wants a Champions League spill!), and get ready to cheer for your favorite team.
There you have it! With Sling TV and a Paramount+ subscription, you can watch the Champions League without the hassle of traditional cable. Now you can focus on the important things, like analyzing tactics, arguing with your mates about offside calls, and celebrating those glorious goals (or drowning your sorrows after a crushing defeat – we've all been there). So grab your jersey, fire up Sling TV, and get ready for a season of Champions League magic!
