Paramount Plus offers a wide collection of TV shows and movies as well as sport and kids' content. If you're unsure whether Paramount Plus would be a good fit for you, the platform offers a free 7-day trial.

You can give it all a test drive, sample some content and make a more informed decision. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to sign up.

    Step 1
  2. Click "Continue" to create your account.

  5. Select whether you want the Standard or Premium plan. Other than price, the only difference between the 2 is that the Premium plan has 4K capability and allows you to watch on 4 devices at once. Choose which one better suits your circumstances. Don't worry – no matter which you choose, both come with the 7-day free trial.

  8. Congratulations! You can now start streaming.

You can also sign up via the Paramount Plus app on your preferred device as long as it's compatible.

If you're not enjoying the service, remember to cancel your subscription before the 7 days are up or it will automatically renew and your card will be charged. We recommend setting up a reminder or alarm for the day before your free trial expires so you can take action in a timely manner.

What does the Paramount Plus free trial let you watch?

You can watch anything and as much as you want from the Paramount Plus library during your free week. We recommend checking out one of the best shows on Paramount Plus as a start or the best movies on the service, but the library is generous enough that we're sure you'll find something to watch.

Paramount Plus is also a great place if you're a local football fan, being the home of the A-League Men and Women, FA Cup and Socceroos and Matildas matches among others.

Is there a catch?

Like with all free trials, your card will be billed once the 7 days are up. Subscriptions to Paramount Plus in Australia cost $9.99 a month. That's a fair price considering the library, but make sure there are enough shows and movies you're interested in. We've included the full list of TV shows and movies on Paramount Plus above so you can check for your favourites.

On the same note, streaming video burns through a lot of data. If you're on Wi-Fi, that shouldn't be a problem, but if you stream with mobile data, you might end up blowing through your allowance rather quickly.

Paramount Plus supports offline viewing, so it would be best to download content on your mobile device if you're keen to watch something when out and about.
