Watch Sunday Night Football on Sling TV

If you only need “Sunday Night Football” in English, Sling TV might be the right service for you. Sling Blue subscribers can get access to NBC in select service areas (you’ll have to check your ZIP code on the site) but are out of luck when it comes to Universo or Telemundo.

Sling TV prides itself on being among the more “focused” streaming services – you won’t find hundreds of channels here. Instead, with Sling Orange, you’ll find ESPN and a couple more sports networks, while on Sling Blue you’ll find a more news and entertainment-focused crop. Or you can combine them with the Sling Orange & Blue plan.

Instead of unlimited DVR storage, Sling TV plans come standard with 50 hours of storage. Unlike other DVR offerings, Sling TV won’t delete your recordings after nine months, and if you need more storage, you can purchase up to 200 hours for an extra monthly fee.
