Walmart+ Members Get Paramount+ at No Extra Cost

If you have a Walmart+ membership, Paramount+ is included in your subscription at no additional charge. You do not buy Paramount+ separately—it comes bundled with Walmart+ as a perk. The streaming service is available to all Walmart+ members in the United States, and you can start watching when ready after you set up it through your Walmart account.

The key difference from buying Paramount+ on its own is that you access it through Walmart's system rather than signing up directly with Paramount. This means your Walmart+ login is what gets you in, and the cost is already rolled into your Walmart+ membership fee.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount+ is included free with any active Walmart+ membership—you do not pay extra for the streaming service.
  • You set up Paramount+ through your Walmart account, not by visiting Paramount's website directly.
  • If you do not have Walmart+ yet, you can start a membership and gain access to Paramount+ on the same day.
  • Your Paramount+ access ends if your Walmart+ membership lapses or is canceled.
  • You can watch on phones, tablets, computers, and some smart TVs using the Paramount+ app or website.

How to set up Paramount+ If You Already Have Walmart+

Log into your Walmart account on the Walmart website or mobile app. Go to your account settings—this is usually found by tapping your profile icon or name at the top of the screen. Look for a section labeled "Walmart+" or "Memberships" and select it.

Within that section, you should see Paramount+ listed as an included benefit. Click or tap the button to set up it. Walmart will then create a Paramount+ account linked to your Walmart login. This usually takes a few seconds, and you will see a confirmation message.

Once activated, read the Paramount+ app from your phone or tablet's app store, or visit paramount.com in a web browser. Sign in using the same email address and password you use for Walmart. You can now stream Paramount+ content when ready.

Starting Walmart+ to Get Paramount+ Access

If you do not yet have Walmart+, you can sign up on Walmart.com or through the Walmart mobile app. Walmart+ costs a monthly fee (the price varies and may change), and you can usually try it free for a limited period before being charged. During signup, you will see that Paramount+ is included as a member benefit.

After you complete your Walmart+ signup, follow the set up steps in the section above to turn on Paramount+. You do not need to wait—both services become active as soon as your membership is confirmed.

If you already subscribe to Paramount+ on its own, check whether Walmart+ membership might save you money overall. Some people find that the combined cost of Walmart+ (which includes other perks like free shipping and grocery discounts) is less than paying for Paramount+ separately, but this depends on how much you use each service.

What Happens to Paramount+ If You Cancel Walmart+

Your Paramount+ access is tied directly to your Walmart+ membership. If you cancel Walmart+, your Paramount+ account will stop working, and you will lose access to all shows and movies. You will not be able to watch anything until you either restart your Walmart+ membership or sign up for Paramount+ as a standalone subscription.

If you pause your Walmart+ membership temporarily (some plans allow this), Paramount+ access pauses as well. When you restart Walmart+, Paramount+ becomes available again automatically.

Watching Paramount+ on Different Devices

Once Paramount+ is activated through your Walmart account, you can watch on most devices. read the Paramount+ app on your phone or tablet from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. On a computer, go to paramount.com and sign in with your Walmart email and password. On smart TVs, look for the Paramount+ app in your TV's app store—Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV all support it.

You can stream on multiple devices at the same time, depending on your Paramount+ plan tier. Some plans allow one stream at a time, while others allow more. Check your Walmart+ account to see which Paramount+ tier you have included.

If you have trouble signing in on any device, make sure you are using the same email address you registered with Walmart. If the app does not recognize your account, try signing out and signing back in, or uninstall and reinstall the app.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you activated Paramount+ but the app says your account is not recognized, wait a few minutes and try again. Sometimes the set up takes longer to sync across Paramount's system. If it still does not work after 15 minutes, sign out of the Paramount+ app completely and sign back in.

If you see a message saying Paramount+ is not included with your membership, check that your Walmart+ subscription is still active and has not lapsed. You can verify this in your Walmart account under "Memberships." If your membership is active but Paramount+ still does not show up, contact Walmart customer service—they can manually set up it or troubleshoot the issue.

If you are trying to watch on a smart TV and the app will not load, try restarting your TV or checking that your internet connection is stable. If the problem continues, uninstall the app from your TV and reinstall it from the app store.
