Assuming your urlpattern for the view is something like this:

urlpatterns = [
    path("<slug>", views.SomeView.as_view(), name="some_name"),
]

you can get the slug's value to use in your template using request.resolver_match.kwargs.slug.

See also Django documentation on the HttpRequest objects and the ResolverMatch class.
