Being a student doesn’t always come with perks. But, it does come with discounts. For example, Apple offers special pricing to college students, and Spotify allows students to sign up for its Premium service for just $6 a month, half of what it costs everyone else. Currently, Paramount+ is jumping on the bandwagon and offering students 50% off any streaming plan. The sale is in honor of March Madness and the platform will be streaming 24 games during the NCAA tournament — including the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final Four. Below, find all the details on this sale.

Paramount+ subscription deal for students
Paramount+
Through April 8, students can get 50% off any Paramount+ streaming plan for one year. A Paramount+ subscription gets you access to a massive library of shows from networks under the Paramount umbrella — including CBS, MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. There is also lots of original programming, like “1923” and “Landman.” One of the plans also allows you to tack on a Showtime membership, gaining access to shows like “Yellowjackets” and “Dexter: Original Sin.”
This deal for students is in celebration of March Madness. The streaming platform will broadcast 24 games during the NCAA tournament — including the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final Four. And basketball isn’t the only sport you can stream. Paramount+ subscribers can also live stream coverage of the NFL, PGA golf, The Masters and more.
Paramount+ offers two plans. Paramount+ Essential is their basic plan, which is ad-supported and doesn’t allow you to download episodes and movies. With the student deal, it costs $4 a month for the first year, after which you’ll be charged $8 a month unless you cancel. Paramount+ with Showtime has no ads, gives you access to Showtime content, and allows you to download episodes to view when you’re not connected to WiFi. This plan costs $6.50 a month with the discount for the first year, after which it automatically increases to $13 a year unless canceled.
To get the discount before the offer ends on April 8, you’ll need to verify your status as a student by entering your school information. Once verified, you can sign up for whichever plan you choose.
