From NCAA football to WNBA playoffs: Watch this weekend's sports with a Sling Weekend Pass
We've entered the glorious part of the year when almost every sport graces our TV. We are entering the third week of NCAA football, the second week of the NFL season, MLB is in crunch time ahead of the postseason (that kicks off later this month), and the WNBA postseason is tipping off this weekend. A wise sports fan would take this opportunity to use Sling's new Weekend Pass.
If that's not enough sports for you, the English Premier League also returns on Saturday, Sep. 13, NASCAR will host one of its major events, with the NASCAR Cup Series at Bristol also taking place on Saturday, and, last, but definitely not least, the PGA Tour will be hosting the Procore Championship through Sunday.
There will be so many sports on this weekend, it will be hard to choose which one gets your attention. With Sling introducing three short-term passes, fans have the opportunity to enjoy the slew of fall sports in the form of a day, weekend or week-long pass to eliminate annoying monthly costs.
