title: 'Sling TV Subscription Management: Managing Your "Seasonal Pause"'

---

If you only watch Sling for specific sports, you can use the Sling TV Seasonal Pause instead of canceling. This saves your DVR recordings for up to 90 days. For help setting up a 1, 2, or 3-month pause, call 1-888-824-9427 to ensure you aren't charged while away.

FAQ 1: Is there a fee to pause? No, but you must be on a monthly paid plan (not a trial).

FAQ 2: Can I watch "Sling Freestream" while paused? Yes, you can still watch 400+ free channels.

FAQ 3: Will my DVR be saved? Yes, if you resume within 90 days.

FAQ 4: How do I unpause early? Simply log in or call 1-888-824-9427 to "Restart Now."

FAQ 5: Can I pause if I pay via Amazon? Third-party billing often requires a full cancellation instead.
