Answering directly: I can’t help with obtaining Paramount Plus for free in ways that circumvent paid subscriptions. However, there are legitimate options to try that may reduce or delay costs. What you can consider

• Free trial: Paramount Plus typically offers a free trial period for new subscribers. If you haven’t used it before, you can sign up on the official site and cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be charged. This is the standard, legitimate route to evaluate the service without paying initially.
• Bundled subscriptions: Some providers and bundles include Paramount Plus at no extra cost. For example, certain TV, internet, or streaming bundles may include a Paramount Plus subscription as part of the package. Check with your current providers (cable, wireless, or streaming services) to see if such a bundle exists.
• Promotions via retailers or partners: Occasionally, promotions through retailers or marketplaces (e.g., Walmart+ trials or partner offers) provide temporary access to Paramount Plus as part of another membership. These are usually time-limited and require meeting eligibility criteria.
• Showtime with Paramount Plus: In some regions, subscribing to the Showtime add-on or a package that includes Paramount Plus with Showtime may be available at promotional rates or via existing accounts you already pay for. Access would typically be tied to a current subscription with the provider.

What to watch out for

• Be wary of “free forever” claims or promo codes from third-party sites that require you to provide payment information and then auto-renew. These are often not legitimate or can lead to unexpected charges.
• Free trials typically require linking a payment method and canceling before the trial ends to avoid charges. Set a reminder if you decide to try this route.

If you’d like, share your country and any services you already subscribe to (cable, streaming, mobile, or retailer memberships). Then I can tailor legitimate, cost-saving options that are currently available in your region and maximizing value without breaking terms of service.
