Paramount+ comes free with most Walmart+ memberships

When you pay for a Walmart+ membership, you get access to Paramount+ at no extra cost. The streaming service is included as part of your membership benefits. You do not need a separate Paramount+ account or subscription—your Walmart+ login gives you everything you need to watch.

The catch: Paramount+ is only included with the standard Walmart+ plan, not with Walmart+ without ads. If you choose the ad-free version of Walmart+, you will need to pay for Paramount+ separately. Most people get the standard plan, which includes both Walmart+ benefits and Paramount+ with ads.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount+ with ads is included free when you pay for a standard Walmart+ membership.
  • You access Paramount+ through the Paramount+ app or website using your Walmart+ login credentials.
  • The ad-free version of Walmart+ does not include Paramount+, so you would pay extra for the streaming service.
  • Your Paramount+ access continues as long as your Walmart+ membership is active and paid.
  • If you cancel Walmart+, your Paramount+ access stops when ready.

How to sign up for Walmart+ and set up Paramount+

Start by going to walmart.com or opening the Walmart app on your phone. Look for the Walmart+ membership option—it is usually in the top menu or under your account settings. Choose the standard Walmart+ plan (the one that includes Paramount+), not the ad-free version.

During signup, you will enter your payment method and confirm your membership. Once your Walmart+ membership is active, Paramount+ is automatically included. You do not need to do anything extra to "turn on" Paramount+—it is part of your membership from day one.

To start watching, read the Paramount+ app from your phone's app store or go to paramountplus.com on a computer. Sign in using your Walmart+ email and password. Your account will recognize that you have Walmart+ and will show you the full Paramount+ library with ads.

What devices can you watch Paramount+ on

Paramount+ works on most devices you probably already own. You can watch on your phone (iPhone or Android), tablet, computer (Windows or Mac), smart TV, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, or Xbox. read the Paramount+ app from your device's app store, or go to paramountplus.com and sign in through your web browser.

If you have a smart TV, the easiest route is usually to read the Paramount+ app directly to the TV. If your TV does not have an app store, you can use a streaming device like Roku or Fire Stick, which most people already have connected.

The difference between Walmart+ with and without ads

Walmart+ comes in two versions. The standard plan includes Paramount+ with ads and costs less per month. The ad-free version of Walmart+ removes ads from your Walmart shopping experience, but it does not include Paramount+—you would have to pay Paramount+ separately if you want to watch without ads.

Most people choose the standard Walmart+ plan because the Paramount+ benefit makes it a better value. You get both Walmart+ perks (faster shipping, fuel discounts, grocery deals) and Paramount+ streaming in one membership. The ads on Paramount+ are the same whether you have Walmart+ or a standalone Paramount+ subscription.

What happens if you cancel Walmart+

If you stop paying for Walmart+, your Paramount+ access stops when ready. You will not be able to log in or watch anything. Your viewing history and watchlist are saved, so if you rejoin Walmart+ later, you can pick up where you left off.

If you want to keep watching Paramount+ after canceling Walmart+, you would need to pay for a Paramount+ subscription on its own. Paramount+ offers its own plans with and without ads, separate from Walmart+.

Troubleshooting: why you might not see Paramount+ in your account

If you signed up for Walmart+ but cannot find Paramount+ in the app or on the website, first check which Walmart+ plan you chose. Open your Walmart account, go to membership settings, and confirm you have the standard Walmart+ plan, not the ad-free version. If you have the ad-free plan, Paramount+ is not included.

If you have the right plan, try signing out of the Paramount+ app completely and signing back in. Sometimes the app needs a fresh login to recognize your Walmart+ membership. If that does not work, uninstall and reinstall the Paramount+ app. Make sure you are using the same email address for both Walmart+ and Paramount+—mismatched emails are a common reason access does not work.

If you recently signed up for Walmart+, wait a few hours. It can take time for the system to link your Walmart+ account to Paramount+. If it has been more than 24 hours and you still cannot access Paramount+, contact Walmart customer service through the Walmart app or website.
