Sling TV is The Cheapest Way To Watch NHL Network
Sling TV offers NHL Network in its Sport’s Extra Plan. To get the Sports Extra plan, you need to subscribe to either the Sling Orange Plan or the Sling Blue plan for $40 per month, then add the Sports Extra package for another $11 per month. This would provide a way to watch the NHL Network at $51 per month. You can sign up at their website.
I find the Sling Blue package is a better value as you get more channels, the ability to stream to 3 devices at once, and local Fox, ABC, and NBC networks in certain markets. You can get both packages for only $55 per month, but then the cost of the Sports Extra package jumps to $15 per month, bringing the total to $70 per month to watch the NHL Network. Regardless of the plan you chose, Sling TV comes with the following features:
- 50 hours of cloud DVR storage
- the ability to watch shows networks make available on-demand
- Support on Android and iOS devices, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Nexus player, Xbox One, Apple TV, Chromecast, and more
