Paramount+ is not automatically included with Xfinity internet or most TV packages, but some Xfinity customers do receive it at no extra cost depending on their plan

Whether you get Paramount+ free depends on which Xfinity service you have. If you subscribe to Xfinity internet alone, you will not receive Paramount+ included. If you have Xfinity TV, whether Paramount+ is included depends on your specific TV package — some packages include it, and others do not. The only way to know for certain is to check your current plan details or contact Xfinity directly.

Xfinity has offered Paramount+ as part of certain TV bundles and promotions, but these offers change frequently and vary by location. A plan that includes Paramount+ in one area might not in another. Additionally, promotional offers that included Paramount+ for free may have ended or been replaced with different benefits.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount+ is included free with some Xfinity TV packages, but not with internet-only plans or all TV tiers.
  • The only reliable way to learn about your plan includes Paramount+ is to log into your Xfinity account online or call Xfinity customer service.
  • Xfinity occasionally runs promotions that add Paramount+ temporarily to existing plans, but these offers expire and are not permanent.
  • If Paramount+ is not included in your plan, you can purchase a standalone Paramount+ subscription directly from Paramount for a monthly fee.

How to check if your Xfinity plan includes Paramount+

The fastest way to find out is to log into your Xfinity account on the Xfinity website or through the Xfinity mobile app. Once you are logged in, look for your account or services section, which will show your current plan details and any included streaming services. Paramount+ will be listed there if it is part of your plan.

If you do not have online access or prefer to speak with someone, call Xfinity customer service at 1-800-934-6489. Have your account number ready. A representative can tell you when ready whether Paramount+ is included and, if it is not, what it would cost to add it to your plan or purchase it separately.

Xfinity TV packages that have included Paramount+

Xfinity has offered Paramount+ as part of certain TV bundles, particularly mid-tier and higher packages. However, the specific packages that include it have changed over time. Some customers with Xfinity when ready TV or higher-tier TV packages have received Paramount+ at no additional cost, while others have not.

Because these offerings vary by region and change with promotions, the package name alone does not tell you whether your plan includes it. Two customers with the same package name in different cities might have different benefits. This is why checking your account directly is the only reliable method.

Promotional offers and limited-time additions

Xfinity periodically runs promotions that add Paramount+ to existing plans for a limited time — often three to twelve months — at no extra charge. These promotions are usually announced to customers via email or through the Xfinity app. If you received such an offer, the free period will eventually end, and you will either need to pay for Paramount+ separately or remove it from your services.

If you are unsure whether you are currently in a promotional period, check your account details or contact customer service. They can tell you the end date of any free trial or promotional offer and what will happen when it expires.

What to do if Paramount+ is not included in your plan

If Paramount+ is not part of your Xfinity plan, you have two options. You can purchase a Paramount+ subscription directly from Paramount for a monthly or annual fee — Paramount offers both an ad-supported tier and an ad-free tier at different prices. You can sign up on the Paramount+ website or through the Paramount+ mobile app without going through Xfinity.

Alternatively, you can contact Xfinity and ask whether they offer an option to add Paramount+ to your existing plan. Some customers have the option to bundle it with their current services, which may cost less than purchasing it separately. Pricing and availability of this option vary by location and plan type.

How Paramount+ works if you have it through Xfinity

If Paramount+ is included in your Xfinity plan, you can watch it through the Xfinity Stream app on your phone, tablet, or computer, or through the Paramount+ app itself. You may also be able to access it through your Xfinity cable box if your plan includes that service. The content available is the same as a standalone Paramount+ subscription — full access to movies, TV shows, live sports, and original series.

Your login credentials for Paramount+ through Xfinity may be different from a standalone Paramount+ account. If you already have a separate Paramount+ subscription, having it included through Xfinity does not automatically merge the accounts. You will need to manage them separately or contact support if you want to consolidate them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Paramount+ free if I only have Xfinity internet?

No. Paramount+ is only included with certain Xfinity TV packages, not with internet-only service. If you have Xfinity internet but no TV service, you would need to purchase a Paramount+ subscription separately from Paramount.

Does Xfinity ever offer free trials of Paramount+?

Xfinity has offered promotional periods of free Paramount+ access in the past, but these are temporary and tied to specific plans or time-limited offers. Check your account or contact Xfinity to see if any current promotions are available to you.

What happens to my Paramount+ access if I downgrade my Xfinity TV plan?

If you downgrade to a plan that does not include Paramount+, your access will end. Xfinity will notify you before the change takes effect. You can then purchase Paramount+ separately if you want to keep watching.

Can I use my Xfinity Paramount+ login on multiple devices?

Yes, you can stream Paramount+ on multiple devices, but the number of simultaneous streams may be limited depending on your subscription tier. Check the Paramount+ app or website for details on how many devices can watch at the same time.

Is there a difference between Paramount+ through Xfinity and buying it directly?

The content and features are the same. The main difference is how you pay and manage your subscription. Through Xfinity, it appears on your Xfinity bill; purchased directly, it is a separate subscription. Some customers find it easier to manage one bill, while others prefer keeping services separate.
