How Can I Watch Paramount Network for Free?

Like most streaming services, you try out Paramount+ for free without subscribing. Paramount offers a 7-day free trial of the service. You can watch all Paramount movies, shows, and new original programming exclusive to Paramount+ during the free trial.

There is no contract and you can cancel online at any time.

Note: When you sign up, you'll need to link a method of payment and you'll be automatically charged at the end of the trial.

To avoid being charged, make a note on your calendar when the 7-day trial ends. Otherwise, you'll be charged monthly, whether or not you want to keep the service.

How Do I Get My Free Trial Month of Paramount+?

Currently, the Paramount+ official website is only offering a 7-day free trial. However, they occasionally offer promo codes for 30 days free. This is usually around the release of a new season of a popular show. Keep your eyes peeled!

You can also get 50% off an annual subscription with the code YEAR (though it's not clear when this promo will end, so act fast).

But there are other ways to get a free month.

Is Paramount+ free with Amazon Prime?

Amazon is now offering one free month of Paramount+ to Prime members. To redeem the promo, sign in through Prime Video and you can watch movies and shows via the Amazon Prime Video app.

And that's on top of the 2-day shipping, (usually) free returns, and literally thousands of items on Amazon.

Is Paramount+ free with cable?

You cannot log in with an existing cable service to watch Paramount+. To access the service, you'll need to pay the full Paramount+ price (either $4.99 with commercials or $9.99 without commercials).

These fees come after the Paramount+ free trial period.

Note: If you eventually want the no-commercials plan, you can save roughly 16% by choosing the annual subscription ($9.99 monthly vs. $99.99 yearly).

What You Get with Paramount+

Paramount+ carries over 30,000 episodes of some of the most popular shows ever. In comparison, CBS All Access (Paramount's predecessor) only provided about 10,000 episodes.
