Paramount+

A big part of the sports portfolio it brings to fans in the United States is soccer. Paramount+ has secured the rights to a large selection of high-profile soccer competitions from around the world.

Paramount+ is a must-have for American soccer fans, as it provides coverage of elite football at a very reasonable price, exclusive via live streaming.

Let’s take a look at what Paramount+ has to offer soccer fans.

Which soccer events does Paramount+ show?

The jewel in the Paramount+ crown is that it airs every match live from all UEFA competitions throughout the season. That means every single game from the UEFA Champions League, which is arguably the most important competition in soccer. That’s not all. They also show every game from the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, and the UEFA Super Cup.

On top of that, Paramount+ is also the home of Serie A, and shows all 380 matches of the Italian top flight season to its subscribers, as well as the Coppa Italia.

Elsewhere, Paramount+ has the rights to stream club games from Scotland, Brazil and Argentina.

From the world of women’s football, Paramount+ is the streaming home of the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) of the US and the FA Women’s Super League from England.

That’s a whole lot of soccer, involving many of the biggest teams on the planet, from men’s and women’s football, all available to live stream on a myriad of devices with Paramount+

The best TV packages to get Paramount+ in the US

There are no TV packages to worry about if you want to access Paramount+. You simply subscribe directly on their website or app, and pay a monthly subscription fee.

Paramount+ is an exclusively online, live streaming platform. You do not need to have cable TV or any other type of TV package to access it.

You do not need to tie yourself down to a bunch of long-term contracts and bundles with communications companies to watch Paramount+

Best Paramount+ Live Streaming Options

There are two Paramount+ subscription plans. The Paramount+ Essential plan contains tens of thousands of movies and episodes from series, as well as CBS News, and most importantly, live soccer from the UEFA Champions League and more. The Paramount+ Essential plan costs $5.99 a month after a one-week free trial.

The Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription offers everything that the Essential plan does, but without ads, with live CBS TV and the ability to download shows onto mobile devices. It also includes SHOWTIME series, movies and sports. The Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription costs $11.99 per month after the one-week trial.

However, for soccer fans, there is really no need to pay for the upgraded SHOWTIME subscription. Fans can get the Essential plan for just $5.99 a month and watch UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Serie A and all the other elite soccer on the platform via live streaming on any of their devices. Having SHOWTIME does not increase the amount of soccer on offer.

Can You Watch Paramount+ Using a VPN?

Fans from around the world can enjoy top soccer matches on Paramount+ with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Via Paramount+, soccer fans can enjoy the biggest games no matter where they are in the world.

Even if you don’t reside in the US, you can access the Paramount+ platform and its soccer live streams wherever you are, with the help of a VPN.

Assuming you have checked the rules and regulations regarding VPNs where you are, and done your due diligence regarding the best VPN to go with, there’s little stopping you from accessing soccer live streams Paramount+, wherever you may be.

Best Paramount+ Soccer Pundits and Commentators

Paramount+, via its CBS Sports coverage, and also the CBS Sports Golazo program boasts some of the most sought-after soccer broadcasters on the planet among its ranks.

The UEFA Champions League coverage on Paramount +/CBS is often hosted by Kate Abdo, with studio analysis from the likes of Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Clint Dempsey, among others.

Elsewhere, big name broadcasters like Marco Messina, Peter Schmeichel, Nico Cantor and Aaron West.

Pros and Cons of Paramount+ soccer

The biggest pro to Paramount+ is certainly the price. Very few broadcasters can offer such a wealth of high-profile soccer at such an outrageously low price.

To offer every UEFA Champions League game of the season for just $5.99 a month would itself be fantastic. Then you add on top the UEFA Europa League, Serie A, WSL and more - the value money is excellent!

Price and diversity of rights make Paramount+ among the best options for American soccer fans.

The only real downside for Paramount+ is that it only holds the rights to one of Europe’s top domestic leagues in the Italian Serie A. If they could add the English Premier League, the global leader, or the Spanish La Liga, immensely popular among the US’ significant hispanic community, they would really be on their way to becoming the undisputed biggest dog in the yard when it comes to soccer coverage stateside.
