Don’t miss out! Score this epic Paramount+ deal at just $2 a month

A new Paramount+ deal is cutting subscription costs just as March Madness gets underway, offering both plans for $2.99 per month for the first two months. That’s a discount of $6 on Essential and $11 on Premium. The limited-time promotion is available to new and returning subscribers on monthly plans through March 31, after which the subscription auto-renews at the standard rate.

The timing is no coincidence. With the NCAA tournament spread across multiple networks, CBS remains a key hub for select games, and Paramount+ Premium subscribers can stream their local CBS feed live. For anyone looking to follow the action without a traditional cable setup, the offer provides a low-commitment way to tune in while the tournament is in full swing.

Plus, Taylor Sheridan’s new drama “The Madison” dropped its first three episodes on Paramount+ recently and the final three episodes arrive this Saturday, March 21, wrapping up the six‑episode first season. The rest of the season will be available exclusively on the service, making this a great time to sign up if you’re jumping in for the finale run.

Paramount Plus Essential (2 months): was $8 now $2 at Paramount+

Paramount+ Essential is the platform’s budget-friendly, ad-supported tier, offering access to a massive library of over 40,000 TV episodes and movies across brands like CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and more. It also includes live sports such as NFL games and Champions League matches, though live CBS programming is limited.

How to sign up for the Paramount Plus deal

Signing up for the Paramount+ deal is relatively straightforward, but there are a couple of key steps to follow to make sure the discount is applied correctly.

Head to Paramount+ via a web browser and click “Get Started,” where you’ll be prompted to choose between the Essential and Premium plans with the discount automatically applied. After selecting your preferred tier, create an account using your email address and enter your billing details.

It’s worth noting that promotions typically only work when signing up directly through the website, not via third-party platforms like app stores, so subscribing through a browser is the safest way to secure the deal.

It’s easy to get caught up in the $2.99/month deal, but it’s important to remember that after the first two months, subscriptions automatically renew at the regular price — $13.99 for Premium and $8.99 for Essential. The promotion ends March 31 and applies only to new or returning subscribers on monthly plans, so setting a reminder can help avoid any unexpected charges.
