A brand-new Paramount Plus deal is available, and it's the best discount on monthly plans that we've seen in years. The limited-time offer can help you save up to 93% on your first two months of service, surpassing last year's Black Friday deal.

The Paramount Plus deal brings monthly subscriptions down to just $0.99 a month for two months. After the two months conclude, plans will automatically renew at their then-standard rates, but you can always cancel before then. The deal applies to both the Essential and Premium tiers, which normally cost $8.99 a month and $13.99 a month, respectively. In contrast, last year's Paramount Plus Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal brought subscriptions down to $2.99 a month for two months, so this is an even deeper discount.

Paramount Plus is an entertainment hub for fans of CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, and Paramount Pictures. The streaming service also has an impressive selection of its own original programming, most notably several Taylor Sheridan hits, including "Yellowstone" spinoffs like "Dutton Ranch." The streaming service also offers live UFC events, Champions League matches, and NFL on CBS games on both tiers.

FAQ

When does the Paramount Plus deal end?

The Paramount Plus deal ends on June 25, 2026, so there are just a few days left to cash in on the offer.

Who is eligible for the Paramount Plus deal?

The Paramount Plus deal is available to new and eligible former subscribers, so if you're a current customer, you likely won't be able to access it. The best way to confirm eligibility is to start the sign-up process and see what's available to you.

What's the difference between Paramount Plus Essential and Premium?

Paramount Plus Essential and Premium offer similar on-demand catalogs, with one key exception: Showtime programming is only available with the Premium tier. Essential plans are ad-supported, while Premium plans include ad-free on-demand content. Premium also unlocks a livestream of your local CBS station and the ability to download most on-demand programming for offline viewing. Both tiers of service carry live UFC events.

Are there Paramount Plus annual plans?

Subscriptions to Paramount Plus Essential and Premium are also available on an annual basis. However, annual plans are not part of the special limited-time offer, so you'll be paying full price. That said, when there's no deal, annual plans offer decent savings year-over-year compared to what you'd pay if you subscribed to a monthly plan for 12 months straight.

Does Paramount Plus have a free trial?

Paramount Plus used to have a seven-day free trial for all new customers, but the platform got rid of the offer at the beginning of 2026. This means that the current deal is one of the best ways to try out the service without paying full price. If you find that Paramount Plus isn't right for you, you can cancel before your first month is over and have only spent $0.99.
