“Today’s kickoff marks a brand-new chapter for Walmart+ and the possibilities available for our existing and new members,” said Chris Cracchiolo, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+. “It’s pretty simple for us – our Walmart+ members asked for a streaming benefit, and we absolutely delivered with Paramount+. This is just one more example of how Walmart+ can add value to our members lives day after day.”
The addition of a Paramount+ subscription comes at a time when the seasons are changing, and backyard barbeques are giving way to living room tailgates and family movie nights. Walmart+ subscribers will have access to thousands of iconic episodes, popular films and live sporting events, including championship games. From beloved franchises such as “SpongeBob SquarePants” and “Star Trek” to popular movies such as “Secret Headquarters,” Paramount+ is a premium streaming destination for the whole family.
This fall, members will also be treated to the premiere and return of highly anticipated Paramount+ exclusives such as “Transformers: Earthspark”, “Tulsa King,” “On the Come Up,” and “SEAL Team.”

- Login: New and returning members will create an account or login to their Walmart+ account on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app.
- Create: Members will create a Paramount+ account.
- Stream: Discover popular movies and series and start streaming.
