Paramount+ comes free with a Walmart+ membership

Walmart+ members receive a Paramount+ subscription at no extra cost as part of their membership. You do not pay separately for Paramount+ — it is included in your Walmart+ fee. The Paramount+ benefit works on the ad-supported tier, which means you will see advertisements while watching.

This bundle has been available since late 2022 and remains part of the standard Walmart+ package. If you already have Walmart+, you can start using Paramount+ right away without any additional steps beyond linking your accounts.

How to set up Paramount+ on your Walmart+ account

Start by opening the Walmart app or going to walmart.com on your computer. Sign in with your Walmart account. Look for the Walmart+ section, which is usually found in the menu or under your account settings.

Once you are in Walmart+, find the option labeled "Paramount+" or "Streaming benefits." Click or tap it, then select "set up" or "Link Account." You will be taken to Paramount+ to complete the connection. If you do not have a Paramount+ account yet, you can create one during this step — it will be linked to your Walmart+ membership automatically.

After linking is complete, you can open the Paramount+ app or website and sign in with the same account you just created or linked. Your shows and movies will be available to watch when ready.

What you can watch with the Paramount+ benefit

The Paramount+ library includes original series like Yellowstone, 1883, The Offer, and Halo. You also get access to movies from Paramount Pictures, CBS shows, and content from other studios that Paramount owns. Sports programming includes some NFL games, college football, and other live events depending on the season.

The ad-supported tier you receive through Walmart+ has the same content library as the paid premium tier. The only difference is that you will see commercials during playback. If you want to remove ads, you would need to pay Paramount+ directly for an upgrade to their ad-free plan, which costs extra beyond your Walmart+ membership.

Devices where you can watch Paramount+

Paramount+ works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices. You can watch on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Android tablets through the Paramount+ app. On computers, you can stream through a web browser on Windows or Mac.

For TV viewing, Paramount+ is available on Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Samsung Smart TVs, and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. read the Paramount+ app on your device, sign in with your linked account, and start watching. You can stream on multiple devices at the same time, though the number of simultaneous streams depends on your Paramount+ plan — the ad-supported tier typically allows a limited number.

Walmart+ membership cost and what else is included

Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.99 per month. Beyond Paramount+, the membership includes free shipping on most Walmart.com orders, fuel discounts at Walmart gas stations, and early access to Walmart sales. Some members also receive discounts on grocery delivery through Walmart+.

The exact benefits can vary slightly by region and change over time. When you sign up for Walmart+, you will see the full list of current benefits for your area. Paramount+ is listed as a standard benefit for all Walmart+ members.

What happens if you cancel Walmart+

If you cancel your Walmart+ membership, your access to Paramount+ through the bundle ends as well. Your Paramount+ account will not be deleted, but you will no longer be able to watch unless you pay for Paramount+ separately.

If you want to keep watching Paramount+ after canceling Walmart+, you can pay Paramount+ directly. Their ad-supported plan costs $5.99 per month, and their ad-free plan costs $11.99 per month. You would sign up for one of these plans on the Paramount+ website or app.

Troubleshooting common linking problems

If the Paramount+ option does not appear in your Walmart+ account, make sure you are signed into the correct Walmart account and that your Walmart+ membership is active. If your membership has lapsed, you will need to renew it before the Paramount+ benefit becomes available again.

If you have already linked Paramount+ but cannot sign in, try signing out of the Paramount+ app completely and signing back in. Clear your app cache if you are on a phone or tablet — this is usually found in your device settings under Apps. If the problem continues, contact Walmart+ customer service through the Walmart app or website, or contact Paramount+ support directly through their help center.
