Women’s sports have been winning larger audiences over the last few years, with the WNBA and National Women’s Soccer League among those that have inked new rights deals amid the boom in ratings.

Sling has been leaning into the growth women’s sports viewership with its TV streaming plans, which require no contracts and can be tailored to your interests. One of the best live TV streaming services for sports, Sling allows you to find your favorite women’s teams and game times, keep track of live updates and scores and auto-record content so you can catch up on matches later.

Sling offers three base plans: the individual Orange and Blue tiers and the combined Orange & Blue package starting at $45.99 per month. For a limited time, eligible subscribers in select markets can save up to 50 percent on their first month of Sling, bringing the price down to as low as $23 for the promo period.

The TV streamer carries popular sports channels including ABC, NBC, ESPN, Fox, FS1, TBS, TNT and more, so you can watch NWSL, WNBA, NCAA women’s teams and much more.
