Paramount+

Paramount+ is a subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service operated by Paramount Streaming, the direct-to-consumer unit of Paramount Skydance Corporation. It brings together original series, films, entertainment libraries, live sports and news in a platform available through connected televisions, mobile devices, game consoles and web browsers.

The service began as CBS All Access in October 2014, initially combining live CBS network feeds with sports and library programming. In March 2021, it expanded and relaunched as Paramount+, bringing content from CBS, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET and the Smithsonian Channel into a broader streaming offering. Its international presence extends across North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and Asia-Pacific.

Entertainment, sports and news

The platform's original programming includes drama, comedy and franchise-based series. Its catalogue spans titles such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 1883, 1923, Tulsa King and The Good Fight, alongside films and event specials. These titles form part of its streaming offering, with production involving the wider entertainment ecosystem.

Live programming is another substantial part of the service. Its sports offering includes NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League, PGA Tour golf and NCAA men's basketball. Local CBS station feeds complement continuous news and sports coverage through CBS News 24/7 and CBS Sports HQ, combining scheduled broadcasts with on-demand viewing.

Subscription and delivery model

Paramount+ combines advertising-supported subscriptions with a premium subscription tier. The supplied research identifies these offerings as Essential and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, providing different ways to access the platform's entertainment and live programming.

Its digital delivery capabilities include mobile downloads and support for 4K UHD and HDR streaming. Product engineering, application distribution and cloud video infrastructure support access across its device ecosystem. The service operates within the group's Direct-to-Consumer business, alongside other streaming operations, while the company's theatrical film and animation businesses operate separately.
