Paramount+ Streaming Service: Movies, Shows, and Sports You Can Watch Now

When you subscribe to Paramount+, a streaming service owned by Paramount Global that offers movies, TV shows, live sports, and original content. Also known as Paramount Plus, it’s the go-to platform for fans of CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and the NFL, all rolled into one easy-to-use app. Unlike other services that spread content across too many apps, Paramount+ keeps everything under one roof—whether you’re into new episodes of Yellowstone, classic Star Trek, or live UEFA Champions League matches.

What makes Paramount+ stand out isn’t just the library—it’s the mix. You get Paramount+ shows, original series like 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown that aren’t on Netflix or Amazon Prime, plus full seasons of popular sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family. For sports fans, it’s the only place in Africa where you can stream Paramount+ sports, including NFL games, UEFA Champions League, and NCAA tournaments without a cable subscription. And if you love movies, you’ll find new releases from Paramount Pictures and classic films from the 80s and 90s, all updated weekly.

You don’t need a fancy setup to use it. Whether you’re watching on your phone during a commute in Johannesburg, a tablet in Cape Town, or a smart TV in Lagos, Paramount+ works smoothly. It’s also one of the few global services that regularly adds African-friendly content—like local news clips from CBS News and documentaries on global sports culture—that connect with viewers across the continent. And with monthly plans starting low, it’s cheaper than buying a single movie ticket or paying for a separate sports package.

Below, you’ll find real stories from fans who watched Messi’s hat-trick live on Paramount+, followed the rise of a French defender through lower-league football, and even caught a surprise comeback from a former Premier League star—all streamed in real time. Whether you’re here for the drama of a new HBO knight series, the tension of a Champions League clash, or just the quiet joy of watching a classic film after work, this collection shows how Paramount+ fits into everyday life across Africa.
