Sling TV does have some local channels available to stream — if you’re in the right market, and if those channels are actually available.
One of the biggest questions when it comes to getting rid of cable and switching to a streaming service is whether you can still get your local channels. With Sling TV, the answer is somewhat complicated. Yes, you can get local channels on Sling TV. But it can depend on the channel, and it can depend on where you live.
That’s in stark contrast to Sling TV’s competitors, like YouTube TV, Hulu With Live TV, and Fubo. They all have local channels, and in far more markets than Sling TV.
Here’s the deal: Sling TV streams available broadcasts from ABC, Fox, and NBC. (Need CBS? You’re out of luck. It’s not available at all as a stream on Sling TV.) But instead of Sling offering you your own local broadcast Network, it serves up multiple broadcasts from a set list of designated market areas, or DMAs. We strongly recommend checking out Sling’s page that lists which network is available from which market.
