Paramount Plus to Raise Prices on January 15th, 2026, But Black Friday Deal Offers Discount for Two Months.
In a move that will undoubtedly be met with disappointment from some subscribers, Paramount Plus is set to raise its prices by $1 a month starting on January 15th, 2026. The ad-supported Essential plan will increase in price from $7.99 to $8.99, while the ad-free Premium plan will jump from $12.99 to $13.99. However, Paramount has just released a Black Friday promo that could soften the blow for some subscribers.
For two months, both new and returning users can sign up for a subscription at a significantly reduced rate of $2.99 per month, effectively saving $5 on the Essential plan and $10 on the Premium plan. This deal is available until December 2nd, providing those looking to cut costs with a sweet spot before the prices rise.
The Paramount Plus service offers access to over 40,000 TV episodes and movies, including popular titles like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Naked Gun, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, South Park, Fight or Flight, and The Daily Show. There's also support for three simultaneous streams and up to six profiles (including kid-friendly options), as well as access to live sports such as UEFA Champions League games and select NFL matches.
For a higher level of content access, subscribers can opt into the Premium plan, which includes the full Showtime library, with titles like The Chi, Dexter: Resurrection, and every season of Yellowjackets at their disposal. Additionally, Premium users get to stream select titles in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision or HDR10 Plus, as well as download shows and movies for offline viewing.
This Black Friday deal offers an attractive opportunity for those looking to save money before the price hike kicks in next year.

i mean, who doesn't want to watch star trek or south park? and with all the sports and showtime titles, there's something for everyone.
still, if you can snag that black friday deal, it might be worth it. just saying 
I mean, $1 a month might not seem like a lot, but it adds up, especially when you're already paying top dollar for ad-free content on premium plans. And what's with the Black Friday deal only being available for 2 months? That feels like Paramount is just trying to test the waters before the prices go back up 
two months of discounted pricing is actually pretty enticing, especially since it's $5 off the Essential plan and $10 off the Premium plan. I think this could be a good opportunity for people who are already interested in Paramount Plus to sign up or re-up before the prices go up. 
of course Paramount is gonna raise prices... because who doesn't love paying more for something they already do? But hey, on the bright side, their Black Friday deal is kinda cool - I mean, who wouldn't want to save $5 a month on an ad-supported plan? 
Guess you could say I'm both excited and terrified at the same time 
.
still not enough of a discount if u ask me...
. It's already like $12 a month for Premium and now it's gonna be $13? That's just not right, you know? It feels like they're just taking advantage of people who already pay the piper for their streaming service 
.
. It's like they're trying to mitigate the blow from the price hike. Maybe this is just a strategic move to get more subscribers before the prices go up?
.
! $2.99 for two months? That's a steal if you ask me 
. I'm defo signing up during this promo period before prices go back to normal 
! It's like, on one hand, I'm all about supporting creators and getting access to amazing content, but on the other hand, my wallet is screaming at me to be careful 
.
.
. i guess that's just part of the game, though 
theyre doin it again, raisin prices 
like who doesnt love payin more for their streaming service 
but who needs that much money when u can stream cat videos all day? 
! Who wouldn't want to sign up then? Guess some people might be thinking twice about cutting the cord. On the bright side, it's a good excuse to binge-watch all that Paramount content before prices go up 
. It's definitely worth signing up then before prices go back to normal in December. I'm gonna try and grab some new shows to watch too - been meaning to catch up on some Star Trek episodes
