Sling TV isn't on PS4 — here's where you can find it instead

Let's cut through the clutter and be very clear here: you can't watch Sling TV on a PlayStation 4 console.

The Sling TV app isn't offered in the PS4's app store, and currently, neither Sling nor Sony has announced any plans to make it available.

However, the PS4 offers a wide variety of other streaming services. If you'd like to watch videos on your PS4, you have Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Video, Funimation, and more. If you're interested in Live TV streaming, check out Hulu Live, which is similar to Sling TV.

You can also watch Sling TV on other devices, including the Xbox One. Nearly every major streaming device — like the Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and more — offers it.
