How to access Paramount Plus through Walmart Plus

To start watching, open the Walmart Plus app on your phone or tablet, or go to walmartplus.com on a computer. Look for the Paramount Plus section or tile within the Walmart Plus interface. Click or tap it, and you will be taken to Paramount Plus content or prompted to sign in with your Walmart account.

If you prefer to use the Paramount Plus app directly, you can read it from your device's app store. When you open Paramount Plus, select the option to sign in with your Walmart Plus account. Enter your Walmart email and password, and the app will recognize that Paramount Plus is included in your membership.

The first time you link the accounts, Paramount Plus may ask you to confirm a few details. This usually takes less than a minute. After that, you can watch without signing in again on that device.

What content is available on Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus offers movies from Paramount Pictures, CBS shows both current and archived, MTV content, Nickelodeon programming, and original series made specifically for the service. You can watch shows like Yellowstone, Star Trek: Discovery, The Good Fight, and films across multiple genres.

The service also includes live sports — primarily NFL games on Thursday nights and some college sports — plus live news from CBS News. The exact lineup of live content changes by season and by what rights Paramount has acquired in your region.

The tier included with Walmart Plus contains advertisements. If you want to watch without ads, Paramount Plus offers a paid upgrade separate from your Walmart Plus membership, though this is optional.

Devices where you can watch Paramount Plus

You can watch Paramount Plus on phones and tablets running iOS or Android, computers running Windows or Mac, and smart TVs including Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV. You can also cast from your phone to a Chromecast device or AirPlay to an Apple TV.

Paramount Plus allows you to stream on multiple devices at the same time, though the number of simultaneous streams depends on your Paramount Plus tier. With the tier included in Walmart Plus, you can typically stream on two devices at once.

If you already have a Paramount Plus subscription

If you are already paying for Paramount Plus separately, you can link your existing account to your Walmart Plus membership. This does not cancel your Paramount Plus subscription automatically — you will need to manage that separately if you want to stop paying for it.

To merge accounts, sign into your Walmart Plus account and navigate to the Paramount Plus section. Look for an option to link an existing Paramount Plus account. You will be asked to sign in with your Paramount Plus email and password. Once linked, you can watch through either the Walmart Plus app or the Paramount Plus app using the same login.

If you were paying for Paramount Plus with ads, switching to the Walmart Plus bundle means you keep the same ad-supported experience at no cost. If you were paying for the ad-free tier, that paid upgrade remains separate — you would still need to pay Paramount Plus directly to remove ads.

When Paramount Plus access starts and stops

Paramount Plus access begins as soon as your Walmart Plus membership is active. If you sign up for Walmart Plus today, you can start watching Paramount Plus when ready, though it may take a few minutes for the account link to process.

If your Walmart Plus membership ends — either because you cancel it or your subscription lapses — your access to Paramount Plus through Walmart Plus stops. You will no longer be able to watch using the Walmart Plus bundle. If you have a separate Paramount Plus subscription, that remains active independently.

Troubleshooting common issues

If you cannot see Paramount Plus in your Walmart Plus app, try signing out and signing back in. Sometimes the account link takes a few minutes to set up. If it still does not appear after 15 minutes, restart the app or refresh the website.

If you are having trouble signing into Paramount Plus with your Walmart account, make sure you are using the email address associated with your Walmart Plus membership. If you have multiple email addresses linked to your Walmart account, try the primary one first.

If you see a message saying Paramount Plus is not available in your region, this is rare but can happen. Paramount Plus availability varies slightly by country. Contact Walmart Plus support to confirm whether the service is available where you are.
