It's game time and Paramount Plus is ready to be part of your live sports streaming strategy. The Paramount Plus streaming service is a prime example of how live sports and those delivering them to fans are embracing the streaming era.

In addition to the library of classic TV shows and movies and Paramount Plus original series like Special Ops: Lioness, the Star Trek franchise and more, it is the streaming service's live offerings, including sports that help set it apart from other streaming services, like Netflix.

Paramount Plus' sports offerings come from live games that air on CBS and CBS Sports Network, as well as events that stream exclusively on the platform. And even though the $5.99 per month ad-supported version of Paramount Plus doesn't typically offer live TV, it makes an exception in the case of many live sports.

Let's take a look at all of the live sports that are available to watch on Paramount Plus.

NFL on Paramount Plus

With the 2023 NFL underway, the NFL becomes the crown jewel once again in Paramount Plus' live sports offerings. NFL fans can stream NFL games on Paramount Plus, and it does not matter which subscription plan of the streamer you are signed up for, either works. You are just limited to whatever game is available on your local CBS station.

While not game action, Paramount Plus also offers Inside the NFL, a weekly program that goes over the biggest storylines in the NFL.

College Football on Paramount Plus
