What Can You Watch on Paramount+?

College basketball fans who are looking to take advantage of this deal will want to opt for the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan. This gives viewers the ability to watch a livestream of their local CBS station, which means they’ll see every game of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament appearing on that channel, as well as conference championships from the Big Ten, Mountain West, and other conferences. Paramount+ with SHOWTIME also includes the on-demand libraries of Paramount+ and SHOWTIME, and streams with no ads during playback.

If you’re not as interested in college basketball, you can give Paramount+ Essential a try. It does include limited ads, but you’ll be able to stream the entire Paramount+ library with this plan. That means new episodes of “Star Trek: Discovery,” CBS titles like “Young Sheldon” and “Ghosts and even favorites from the old days like “Cheers” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

Once your trial ends, your price will revert to $5.99 per month for Paramount+, or $11.99 for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. But you won’t have to worry about that until April, because for a limited time new Paramount+ customers can get a free month of either of the streamer’s plans using promo code LODGE24 when subscribing!
