What Paramount Plus comes with Xfinity
Whether you get Paramount Plus with Xfinity depends on which Xfinity package you have. Xfinity does not automatically include Paramount Plus with most internet-only or basic TV plans. However, Xfinity offers Paramount Plus as an add-on you can purchase, and some higher-tier TV bundles may include it at no extra cost.
The key is to check your specific plan. Xfinity bundles change frequently, and what comes included varies by region and promotion. Your best move is to log into your Xfinity account online or call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489 to see whether Paramount Plus is part of your current package or available as an add-on.

How to check if Paramount Plus is included in your plan
Log into your Xfinity account at xfinity.com using your username and password. Once you are in, navigate to the "Manage Services" or "My Services" section, which usually appears in the account dashboard. Look for any streaming services listed under your current package—Paramount Plus would appear there if it is included.
If you do not see Paramount Plus listed, it is not part of your current plan. You can also call Xfinity at 1-800-934-6489 and ask a representative directly whether Paramount Plus is available as an add-on for your account and what the monthly cost would be. Representatives can also tell you if any current promotions bundle it with your existing services.
Adding Paramount Plus to your Xfinity account
If Paramount Plus is not included in your plan, you can add it through Xfinity. The easiest way is to go to xfinity.com, sign in, and search for "Paramount Plus" in the add-ons section. You should see the option to add it to your account, and the cost will be added to your monthly Xfinity bill.
Alternatively, call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489 and ask to add Paramount Plus. A representative can process the request over the phone and confirm the monthly charge. Once added, you can access Paramount Plus through the Xfinity Stream app on your TV, phone, or computer, or through the standalone Paramount Plus app using the same login credentials.
Paramount Plus pricing through Xfinity
The cost of Paramount Plus through Xfinity varies depending on which plan you choose and current promotions. Paramount Plus typically offers two subscription tiers: a plan with ads and a plan without ads. Pricing changes periodically, so the exact amount you pay depends on when you sign up and which tier you select.
When you add Paramount Plus through Xfinity, the charge appears as a line item on your Xfinity bill. This can be convenient if you prefer one bill for multiple services, but it also means you cannot separate the charge if you later want to cancel just Paramount Plus while keeping your Xfinity internet or TV service.
Subscribing to Paramount Plus directly instead
You do not have to go through Xfinity to watch Paramount Plus. You can subscribe directly through Paramount's website or through the Paramount Plus app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. When you subscribe directly, you pay Paramount rather than Xfinity, and the charge appears on your credit card or payment method instead of your Xfinity bill.
Subscribing directly sometimes offers different promotional rates or free trial periods than what Xfinity offers. It also gives you more flexibility—you can cancel Paramount Plus without affecting your Xfinity services. Compare the pricing and any current promotions from both Xfinity and Paramount before deciding which route makes sense for your situation.
Accessing Paramount Plus on Xfinity devices
If you have Paramount Plus through Xfinity, you can watch it on several devices. The Xfinity Stream app, available on smart TVs, phones, tablets, and computers, includes Paramount Plus content. You can also read the standalone Paramount Plus app on most streaming devices, smart TVs, and phones and log in with your Paramount Plus credentials.
Some Xfinity TV boxes also have Paramount Plus built in or accessible through the on-screen menu. If you are unsure how to access it on your specific device, Xfinity customer service can walk you through the steps, or you can check the Paramount Plus support page for device-specific instructions.
