Best TV plans for watching the NHL Winter Classic
The best TV plan for watching the NHL Winter Classic depends on your budget and viewing habits. But if you’re looking for the cheapest TV plan and already have reliable internet, we recommend subscribing to Sling TV.
The Sling Orange plan costs $40 a month and comes with TNT, so you’ll be set for the Winter Classic. It also includes TBS, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 for more national NHL coverage—meaning you won’t miss the All-Star Game and NHL Playoffs if you stay subscribed beyond January.
You can also take your Sling TV base plan to the next level with the Sports Extra add-on (starting at $11 a month). That’ll get you NHL Network, ESPNews, ESPNU, and college conference networks—a crucial lineup of channels for watching the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship. (You’ll need ESPN+ to watch the women’s tournament.)
