Paramount+
Paramount+, the streaming service which broadcasts on CBS NFL Gamesas well as Paramount+ originals like “Mayor of Kingstown,” are increasing their prices on August 20, 2024. If you’re a new or current subscriber looking to take advantage of current rates, we have a suggestion: sign up for an annual subscription.
An annual subscription to Paramount+ already saves you money compared to current monthly rates. But with the monthly rate rising to $8 (for the Paramount+ Essential tier) later this month, a $60 annual subscription is an even better value.
Note: CBS Essentials and Paramount+ are both subsidiaries of Paramount.
What are the different price levels offered by Paramount?
Paramount+ offers two pricing tiers. The Paramount+ Essential tier gives subscribers access to every NFL game broadcast by CBS during the upcoming 2024-25 football season, UEFA Champions League games broadcast by CBS, and 24/7 live news with CBS News. You also get on-demand access to Paramount’s massive library of movies and TV shows (CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon).
Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers get all the benefits of Paramount+ Essential subscribers, plus live streaming of their local CBS affiliate, live sporting events like the Masters and NSWL, and the ability to download Paramount+ content to watch later. Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can enjoy ad-free on-demand content.
How much does the price of Paramount+ increase?
The rate increase for new subscribers will take effect on August 20, 2024. Existing subscribers will see the new rates on their statement on or around September 20, 2024.
- Paramount+ Essential currently costs $5.99 per month. The price will increase to $7.99 per month on August 20, 2024.

To avoid the monthly plan price increase, we recommend upgrading to an annual plan. New subscribers can test the platform by taking advantage of the streamer’s seven-day free trial.
