Sling TV is one of the most affordable cord-cutting options for accessing ESPN without cable. The service offers three subscriptions with different channel lineups, but we recommend the Sling Orange plan which starts at $45.99/month, since it includes ESPN. And if you act fast, you can subscribe to Sling for as little as $23/month because the service is offering new users half off their first month! In terms of live-TV streaming services, this is the cheapest way to watch the Orange Bowl without cable.
