Paramount+ comes free with Walmart+ at no extra cost

If you have a Walmart+ membership, you can watch Paramount+ without paying a separate subscription fee. Walmart+ includes Paramount+ as part of the bundle, so you get access to movies, TV shows, and live sports through one membership. The process takes about five minutes and happens entirely through the Walmart app or website.

You do not need to create a new Paramount+ account or enter payment information. Your Walmart+ membership automatically grants you access to Paramount+, and you can start watching right away once you link the two accounts.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount+ is included free with any active Walmart+ membership, so you do not pay extra for the streaming service.
  • You must have an active Walmart+ subscription first—the Paramount+ benefit only works if your Walmart+ membership is current.
  • Link your accounts through the Walmart app or website by going to your account settings and selecting the Paramount+ option.
  • Once linked, you can watch Paramount+ on any device by logging in with your Walmart account credentials.

Check your Walmart+ membership status first

Before you can add Paramount+, confirm that you have an active Walmart+ subscription. Open the Walmart app or go to walmart.com and sign in with your account. Tap or click on your account icon in the top right corner, then select "Walmart+" to see your membership details.

If you see a green checkmark or "Active" next to your membership, you are ready to proceed. If your membership has expired or you do not have one yet, you will need to start or renew your Walmart+ subscription first. Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.99 per month, and the Paramount+ benefit is included at no additional charge.

Link Paramount+ through your Walmart account settings

Open the Walmart app or visit walmart.com and sign in. Tap your account icon in the top right corner and scroll down to find "Paramount+" or "Streaming Services." Select it, then tap "Link Account" or "Connect Now." The app will confirm that your Walmart+ membership includes Paramount+ and ask you to proceed.

You will see a screen confirming the link is complete. This usually happens when ready, though it can take a few minutes to show up across all your devices. You do not need to create a new password or enter any payment details—Walmart handles everything through your existing membership.

Watch Paramount+ using your Walmart login

Once your accounts are linked, you can watch Paramount+ on the Paramount+ app, on paramount.com, or through the Walmart app itself. When you open Paramount+ on any device, choose "Sign in with Walmart" or "Sign in with your Walmart account" instead of creating a new login. Enter your Walmart email and password.

You can sign in on up to four devices at once, though only two can stream video simultaneously. If you want to watch on more devices, you can sign out of one and sign in on another. Your watch history and saved shows sync across all devices you are signed into.

Troubleshoot if the link does not appear

If you do not see a Paramount+ option in your Walmart account settings, your membership may not be active. Check the "Walmart+" section again to confirm your subscription has not expired. If it has, renew it before the Paramount+ option will show up.

If your membership is active but you still do not see the option, try signing out of the Walmart app completely and signing back in. Close the app entirely, wait 30 seconds, then reopen it. If the option still does not appear after a few hours, the link may be processing—Walmart sometimes takes up to 24 hours to fully set up the connection on all devices.

What to do if you lose Walmart+ membership

Your access to Paramount+ stops when ready if your Walmart+ membership expires or is cancelled. You will not be able to watch any shows or movies, and you cannot pause your Paramount+ access while keeping Walmart+. If you want to keep watching Paramount+, you must renew your Walmart+ subscription.

If you cancel Walmart+ but want to keep Paramount+, you can sign up for Paramount+ as a separate subscription directly through the Paramount+ app or website. Your watch history will remain the same, but you will need to pay Paramount+'s standard subscription price, which varies depending on whether you choose the ad-supported or ad-free plan.
