\n\tWhether you\u2019re eager to binge Taylor Sheridan\u2019s The Madison<\/a><\/em> or Paramount\u2019s latest true crime offering, My Killer Father: The Green Hollow Murders<\/a><\/em>, a Paramount+ subscription<\/a> is a non-negotiable. And while the streaming service recently eliminated the free trial period directly through its site, there are two little-known ways to get Paramount+ for free through partner subscriptions, DirecTV<\/a> and Walmart+<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tStarting off strong with DirecTV<\/a>, customers who sign up for one of the streaming service\u2019s signature packages<\/a> \u2014 Entertainment, Choice or Ultimate \u2014 will get the first three months of HBO Max, Paramount+ Premium (formerly Paramount+ with Showtime), STARZ, MGM+ and Cinemax included (see here for more details on these premium add-ons<\/a>). Plus, DirecTV offers a five-day free trial<\/a> for any plan, meaning new\u00a0members can stream Paramount+ (and everything else the packages have to offer) at no cost during the trial period. <\/p>\n \n\tMoving along to the second option, deal-savvy streamers can also enjoy free Paramount+ access through a Walmart+ membership<\/a>, which includes the choice of Paramount+ Essential or <\/em>Peacock Premium in its subscription. And since Walmart+<\/a> offers a 30-day free trial<\/a>, members can stream Paramount+ at no cost during that period.

It includes 40,000+ episodes and movies, NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League live, access to select Showtime series and the ability to stream on three devices at once.<\/p>\n\n\t\tHow to Get Paramount+ Free Trial\t<\/h2>\n
