Full research notes
Sling's Day Pass page, archived on September 17, 2026, sold one-time passes to Sling Orange: "1 Day Pass (Orange) $4.99: Access to programming available for 24 hours from activation. 3 Day Pass (Orange) $9.99 … 7 Day Pass (Orange) $14.99". By October 3, 2026 the page (sling.com/service/day-pass) redirects to Sling's general plans page, Sling's compare-plans page lists Sling Orange only at $45.99/month, and the Day Pass link is gone from the site's menu. TheDesk reported on October 2, 2026 that Sling had removed the passes, quoting Sling: "Though Sling Passes are no longer available, we look forward to continuing to innovate and showing our customers new ways to experience the content they love." The report links the change to lawsuits by Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery over the passes. Neither Sling nor the report gives the exact end date or says what happens to passes bought before; the date is bounded by the September 17 archived copy.
