Paramount Plus has just dropped a two-monthly saving to rival even the biggest Black Friday offers - and it comes just in time for 2026's March Madness action. The streamer has kicked both its Essentials and Premium plans down to $2.99 per month for the first two months, saving you up to $11 on the more expensive option.

That's among the cheapest Paramount Plus deals I've seen so far, especially if you've been wondering how to watch March Madness this month. Coverage is split between Paramount Plus and HBO Max (available via a YouTube TV free trial) for the men's games this year, so you'll need a subscription to catch all CBS games in the next few weeks.

Paramount Plus Premium | $2.99/mo for two months
Save up to $11 - Both the Essential and Premium plans are down to just $2.99 right now, giving you two months of streaming (more than enough to see you through March Madness) for just $6. The offer is available for new and returning users, though if you're in the latter camp you can't have had an active subscription in the last month.

It's not just live sports you're getting here, though. Paramount Plus is also the home of Landman, South Park, Y: Marshals, The Madison, Yellowstone and more. That Premium subscription also gets you access to everything ad-free in 4K, as well as Showtime originals and live TV from CBS. That's bags of streaming for just $6 all in.

How does it stack up against the rest of the competition? Even if March Madness isn't on your radar, $2.99 per month is still one of the cheapest subscriptions out there for anyone looking to try out a new service.

Disney Plus and Hulu's current reduced bundle price might be the closest competitor. You can grab both services for $4.99 per month for three months right now, saving you roughly $24 all together. You're paying nearly double the price of Paramount Plus Premium, but getting a longer trial term overall.

Meanwhile, Peacock's only current offer gets you 12 months for the price of 10 when you sign up for a full year Premium membership ($109.99) but otherwise starts at the regular $7.99 per month.

We're rounding up all the current ESPN Plus prices as well as the latest Peacock TV prices and Hulu free trials as well.
