Paramount+ raises the price to $5.99 and merges with Showtime

Paramount+ increases its monthly price by one dollar, but also adds Showtime content as part of a merger. This launch and price increase will roll out on June 27, 2023, when Paramount+ will officially be renamed Paramount+ with Showtime.

From that date, the ad-supported version of Paramount+ costs $5.99 per month. Subscribers can also get the ad-free version for $11.99 per month. The latter is a $2 increase from the $9.99 per month it is now.

Adding the Showtime content catalog closes the Showtime app. Therefore, all current offerings on that platform require a subscription to Paramount+.

The monthly options listed above are not the only way to subscribe to Paramount+. Each also has an annual option. As of now, the annual option is for Paramount+ $49.99. Next month, when the price increase kicks in, the ad-supported version will likely cost $59.99. However, this has not yet been officially announced. For the ad-free edition of Paramount+, the annual fee is $119.99.

Therefore, this is a chance to upgrade to the annual plan before those prices go up. For reference, if you use a monthly subscription to watch the Champions League, Serie A, Scottish Premiership or NWSL, you will have to pay $5.99 per month. However, if you upgrade to an annual plan now, you would save even more for the following year. On average, you would pay $4.17 per month, while others would pay just under $6.

Given that CBS Sports holds the English language rights for the U.S. UEFA Champions League during the 2029/30 season, it is a wise move to get an annual Paramount+ subscription now before the price rises.

Paramount+ raises price, but no new football content

For football fans, the price increase is not exactly welcome. Despite paying more, CBS is not adding a new league or new competition. Still, it has the Champions League, Serie A, NWSL and more. Plus, it’s still cheaper than ESPN+, which increased to $9.99 per month last summer. And as of June 27, Paramount+ is more than Peacock Premiumthe football options on Paramount+ are much greater than those on Peacock.

However, Showtime brings a significant amount of content in its own right. That could be hit movies like Everything Everywhere Everything at once And The Fablesor shows like Right.
