How to Watch 2024 NHL Winter Classic Online: Sling
Sling TV is one of the most affordable cord-cutting options for accessing NHL games on TNT. The service offers three subscriptions with different channel lineups, each of which includes TNT. We recommend signing up for the Sling Orange plan for a limited-time discounted price of $20/month. With Sling, you can’t watch the NHL Winter Classic for free since there’s no free trial period. But if you act fast, you can subscribe to Sling for $20 less than its usual $40/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 NHL Winter Classic online.
