In 2026, with the introduction of UFC events and a subscription price increase, Paramount+ no longer offers its 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

However, there’s still a way to access Paramount+ for free, as well as get even more perks for just signing up with Walmart+.

For new subscribers, the streaming service starts at $8.99/month (or $89.99/year) for the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential plan for access to hit movies, original dramas and comedies, live sports, live news and other programming.

If you’re looking to stream Paramount+ for free, there is a clever workaround since the streaming service doesn’t offer a free trial anymore. Right now, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial for Walmart+, which comes with Paramount+ as one of its perks. Afterwards, the annual plan for Walmart+ goes for $98/year (about $8.17/mo.).

Aside from streaming access to Paramount+, you can take advantage of everything Walmart+ has to offer with perks such as free and fast delivery; fuel discounts at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Exxon, Mobil and Murphy gas stations; Burger King deals, additional savings with early access deals and many other perks.
