Paramount Plus is one of the most popular streaming services thanks to it having several major brands under the Paramount umbrella. You get CBS content, Showtime, stations like Nickelodeon and MTV, right down to Champions League soccer and one of the best ways to watch the Super Bowl for free. If you’re looking for how to watch Paramount Plus including options for watching for free, read on while we take you through it all.

Is there a Paramount Plus free trial?

Yes, there’s a Paramount Plus free trial. It lasts for seven days and you can choose either the Essential plan or the Premium/Paramount Plus with Showtime plan which is ad-free and offers additional content. By signing up for the free trial, you get full access to everything that Paramount Plus has to offer. Once the trial ends, the Essential plan costs $6 per month while the Premium plan is $12 a month.

Can you get Paramount Plus for free?

Like Max, Paramount Plus has a free episode library so you can enjoy a select few episodes of the best that the service has to offer. It’s good insight into what’s new on Paramount Plus. The library includes episodes of shows like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Billions, and Western, 1883. There’s no need to sign up or log in to watch such shows.

Alternatively, if you have a Walmart Plus membership, you can enjoy Paramount Plus for free. It’s one of the perks of Walmart Plus membership with the grocery delivery service costing $13 per month or $98 for a year.

Another option is if you’re subscribed to the Showtime premium channels through Spectrum, Direct TV, or Hulu with Live TV. If you are, you have access to the ad-free Premium version of Paramount Plus.

Are there any Paramount Plus deals?

The most cost-efficient way of enjoying Paramount Plus is to commit to an annual plan when signing up to Paramount Plus. By doing so, you can save a lot of money. While paying for Essential on a monthly basis costs you $6 per month, committing to a full 12 months at once means you pay $60 for the year working out at a $12 saving across the year. Sign up for Paramount+ Premium with Showtime on a month-by-month basis and you’d pay $12 each month. Switch to an annual plan and it drops down to $120 for the year so you save $24 off the regular price.

The best headphones for 2024 have a $100 discount today

When people talk about the best headphones, there's a fairly large chance they're talking about Sony's WH-1000XM5 and have been doing so for a couple of years at this point. These long-enduring headphones, still perceived as being at the top of the game, are ripe for good discounts. Take this deal on the WH-1000XM5, going on amid the Best Buy Tech Fest, which puts the headphones down to $300 from $400. If you can manage to buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 before the deal ends (Tech Fest ends on August 25, but there's no word if this deal will end at the same time) you'll save $100. All you need to do is tap the button below. However, if you want more info keep reading for our take.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony's WH-1000XM5 have topped our list of the best headphones overall, and the XM4 model did before them. They're just that good. Truth be told, they're powering this very article, with their powerful ANC kicking in between tracks to block out the fan no more than two feet from me. And while, nowadays, they've hit a "mere" second place on our list of the best noise-canceling headphones, there comes a point where the need to improve is like splitting hairs. ANC aside, the WH-1000XM5 make navigating the world easy and customizable to your whims. Where I do a quick double-tap and palm-on to the right earcup to pause and engage with the world, you may enjoy an automatic aware mode on speech or variable noise-cancellation levels as you walk.
