Sling TV is owned by Dish Network, which is in turn a part of EchoStar Corporation. As of a recent development in 2024, DirecTV announced a deal to acquire Dish Network and Sling TV from EchoStar, taking over Sling TV as well. This acquisition is structured as a debt exchange, where DirecTV will pay $1 and assume Dish's debt, subject to regulatory approval. Thus, historically and currently, Sling TV is operated by Dish Network (a subsidiary of EchoStar), but ownership is shifting to DirecTV pending completion of the deal.
