Here’s How to Get Paramount+ Online for Free

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

The best way to test out Paramount+ is with a free trial to the streaming service. You’d want to see if it’s a good fit before you commit month-to-month, or annually. The service is the home to hit originals, like Halo, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and others, as well as hot music programming, such as Hip Hop Was Born Here, Behind the Music, From Cradle to Stage, Clive Davis: Most Iconic Performances and more.

Although the streaming service no longer offers a free trial directly, we spotted a clever workaround to get Paramount+ for free.

You can get Paramount+ for free, as a Prime Video add-on channel. The streamer has a seven-day free trial to give the Paramount+ Premium plan a test drive before you commit to the service. Just add Paramount+ Premium to Prime Video and you’re all set to watch for free.

Afterwards, the Paramount+ Essential Plan, which gives you access to tons of TV shows and movies with limited commercials, increased a dollar to $8.99 per month (or $89.99 per year). The ad-free plan got a small price bump as well to $13.99 per month ($139.99 per year), but it now includes Showtime, along with everything in the Essential Plan and access to your local CBS station.

After the free trial ends, your plan will automatically renew at the regular premium rate, but you can cancel anytime.

Paramount+ features a mountain of entertainment with a growing list of original programs. You can reality TV shows on Paramount+ including Teen Mom, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta, Are You the One?, Survivor, and Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out.

The streaming service has a large number of movies too, including Roofman, Primate, Mission: Impossible, Interstellar and more. In addition to tens of thousands of TV episodes and tons of movies, exclusives from MTV, BET, Nickelodeon and more, Paramount+ has UFC, NFL on CBS, PGA, Champion League and other must-watch live sports and live news via CBS News.
