Paramount+ has discontinued its 7-day free trial for new subscribers in 2026, coinciding with the introduction of UFC events and a subscription price increase. However, a method remains to access the streaming service for free.
By signing up for a Walmart+ membership, which includes a 30-day free trial, users gain complimentary access to Paramount+ as a perk. This workaround replaces the direct free trial previously offered by the streaming platform.
Paramount+ Essential, the ad-supported plan, starts at $8.99 per month ($89.99 per year). It offers hit movies, original series, live sports including NFL and UFC, live news from CBS, and classic shows. The ad-free Premium tier is available for $13.99 per month.
In addition to Paramount+ access, a Walmart+ membership provides benefits like free delivery, fuel discounts, and exclusive retail deals. This partnership offers a viable path for viewers to stream Paramount+ content without the standard subscription fee during the trial period.
