Paramount Plus is one of the most popular streaming services thanks to it having several major brands under the Paramount umbrella. You get CBS content, Showtime, stations like Nickelodeon and MTV, right down to Champions League soccer and one of the best ways to watch the Super Bowl for free. If you’re looking for how to watch Paramount Plus including options for watching for free, read on while we take you through it all.

Is there a Paramount Plus free trial?

Yes, there’s a Paramount Plus free trial. It lasts for seven days and you can choose either the Essential plan or the Premium/Paramount Plus with Showtime plan which is ad-free and offers additional content. By signing up for the free trial, you get full access to everything that Paramount Plus has to offer. Once the trial ends, the Essential plan costs $6 per month while the Premium plan is $12 a month.

Can you get Paramount Plus for free?

Like Max, Paramount Plus has a free episode library so you can enjoy a select few episodes of the best that the service has to offer. It’s good insight into what’s new on Paramount Plus. The library includes episodes of shows like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Billions, and Western, 1883. There’s no need to sign up or log in to watch such shows.

Alternatively, if you have a Walmart Plus membership, you can enjoy Paramount Plus for free. It’s one of the perks of Walmart Plus membership with the grocery delivery service costing $13 per month or $98 for a year.

Another option is if you’re subscribed to the Showtime premium channels through Spectrum, Direct TV, or Hulu with Live TV. If you are, you have access to the ad-free Premium version of Paramount Plus.

Are there any Paramount Plus deals?

The most cost-efficient way of enjoying Paramount Plus is to commit to an annual plan when signing up to Paramount Plus. By doing so, you can save a lot of money. While paying for Essential on a monthly basis costs you $6 per month, committing to a full 12 months at once means you pay $60 for the year working out at a $12 saving across the year. Sign up for Paramount+ Premium with Showtime on a month-by-month basis and you’d pay $12 each month. Switch to an annual plan and it drops down to $120 for the year so you save $24 off the regular price.

If you're a fan of Beat's Powerbeats 4 or Powerbeats Pro but not so much a fan of the price, then you may want to consider these JVC Fitness wireless earbuds. In fact, they are pretty great earbuds that are great for day-to-day use or even sports, and even better, they're going for only $30. That's a $10 discount from Best Buy on their original $40 price tag, and while that may not mean much in the grand scheme of things, that's still a 25% discount on a solid set of budget earbuds.

You can snag Samsung’s 7.1.2-channel soundbar for just $750 today
The Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 Soundbar.

Even the best TVs don't really have the same sort of audio quality that you'd get from a stand-alone system that's specifically made for it. That means that, if you're looking for your next TV room upgrade, one of the best things you can do is get yourself something like Samsung's HW-Q850D soundbar. The HW-Q850D is similar to the HW-Q990C, our pick for the best soundbar on the market, and it's heavily discounted down to just $750 from $1,100 at Best Buy, which constitutes a substantial $350 discount. We don't often see it discounted that steeply, so it's absolutely worth grabbing now.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 channel wireless soundbar
For starters, one of the great things about the Samsung HW-Q850D is that it has a lot of additional speakers to hit the 7.1.2 channel, and that includes a couple of satellite speakers and a subwoofer. If you're not familiar with various classifications of surround sound, you can check out our ultimate surround sound guide, but the long and short of it is that it has seven main speakers, a subwoofer, and up-firing speakers for a 3-dimensional effect. That gives you a pretty large coverage of space to really create a deep soundstage in the room, so it really feels like you're surrounded by the audio that's coming from whatever you're watching or listening to.

The Samsung DU7200 Series 4K TV with football players on the screen.

You probably didn't think that you can get an 85-inch TV for just $1,000, but that's exactly the price that you'll have to pay for the 85-inch Samsung DU7200 Series 4K TV during the Samsung Savings Event at Best Buy. The $500 discount on the TV's original price of $1,500 is expected to last until the sale's TV deals end on October 20, but we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as possible because we're not sure if stocks will last that long.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Samsung DU7200 Series 4K TV
First and foremost, you're going to have to consult our guide on what size TV to buy before you proceed with your purchase of the 85-inch Samsung DU7200 Series 4K TV. That's because you need to make sure that you have the appropriate amount of space for this massive screen for you to properly enjoy its 4K Ultra HD resolution and HDR support. It's powered by Samsung's Crystal Processor 4K, which enables 4K Upscaling that improves the quality of everything that you watch. The TV also comes with the Q-Symphony feature, which allows its speakers to work as one with Samsung's Q-Series and S-Series soundbars to unlock incredible audio.
