<p>Paramount+ is raising its monthly price by one dollar, but it is also offering an option of <em>Paramount+ With Showtime</em> from Showtime for $11.99 beginning in late June. This launch and price increase rolls out on June 27, 2023.</p>



<p>From that date moving forward, the ad-supported version of <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paramount+</a> is $5.99 per month. Also, subscribers can get a version for $11.99 a month, which includes Showtime content. The latter is a $2 increase from the $9.99 per month it is now. </p>



<p>By adding Showtime’s catalog of content, the Showtime app will shut down. Therefore, all of the current offerings on that platform will require a subscription to Paramount+.</p>



<p>The monthly options stated above will not be the only way to subscribe to Paramount+. Each will also have an annual option. As of now, the annual option for Paramount+ is <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$49.99</a>. Next month, when the price increase kicks in, the ad-supported version is likely to be $59.99. However, this has not been announced officially yet. For the ad-free edition of Paramount+, the annual fee is $119.99.</p>



<p>Therefore, this is an opportunity to upgrade to the annual plan before those prices increase. For reference, if you use a monthly plan to watch the Champions League, Serie A, Scottish Premiership or NWSL, you will have to pay $5.99 per month. However, if you <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">upgrade to an annual plan now</a>, you would save even more for the next year. On average, you would pay $4.17 per month, while others would pay just under $6.</p>



<p>Given that CBS Sports have the US English-language rights to the UEFA Champions League <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/08/19/cbs-renews-uefa-champions-league-rights-through-2029-30/">through the 2029/30 season</a>, it’s a wise move to <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">get an annual Paramount+ plan now</a> before the price increases.</p>

<h2>Paramount+ raising price, but no new soccer content</h2>



<p>For soccer fans, the price increase is not exactly welcome. Despite paying more, CBS is not adding a new league or new competition. Still, it has the Champions League, Serie A, NWSL and more. Plus, it is still cheaper than <a href="https://go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ESPN+</a>, which <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2022/07/15/espn-plus-price-increase/">jumped to $9.99 per month</a> last summer. And, while from June 27th, Paramount+ is more than <a href="https://imp.i305175.net/c/330866/1313913/11640" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peacock Premium</a>, the soccer options on Paramount+ far exceed those on Peacock.</p>



<p>However, Showtime does bring a significant chunk of content in its own right. That could be hit movies like <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once</em> and <em>The Fabelmans</em>, or shows such as <em>Dexter</em>.</p>

Paramount+ raising price to $5.99

Paramount+ will be raising its monthly price by one dollar this summer as well as offering an option with Showtime.

<div><figure class="image"></figure></div>
<p>ESPN+ is about to undergo yet another price increase for subscribers.</p>
<p>Starting on August 23, the price of <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN+</a> jumps up to $9.99 per month. There is also an annual option that comes in at a price point of $99.99.</p>
<p>Back when the services started in 2018, the cost was just $4.99 per month. As of now, that price is $6.99 monthly, with an annual option of $69.99. The jump from that up to $9.99 is an increase of 43%. This is a bold move considering the fact that many Americans are acting more fiscally conservative given the economic climate.</p>
<p>However, some estimate the jump in price to be a bump in the direction of users signing up for the <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Disney Bundle</a>. At a price of $13.99 per month, this service provides access to ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu. There are no plans in place to increase the price of the Disney bundle, making it just $4 more than ESPN+ on its own.</p>
<p>Over recent months, the <a href="https:\/\/www.statista.com/statistics/1054451/espn-plus-subscriber-us/">subscriber count on ESPN+</a> saw a steady rise. at the end of fiscal quarter two in 2021, the service pulled 13.8 million subscribers. One year later, ESPN+ has a subscriber count of over 22 million subscribers.</p>
<h3>ESPN+ price rising again</h3>
<p>ESPN+ claims that its reasoning for raising the price is increased content. With coverage of MLS, the NHL, PGA Tour and a number of college sports on the platform, there is clearly much to choose from. In fact, that does not include <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/watch-soccer-via-espn-plus/">the plethora of soccer</a> outside MLS. Coverage of LaLiga, Bundesliga, English Championship and more. Of course, ESPN no longer holds the rights to any of the men’s international tournaments. This includes past coverage of the World Cup, European Championship and more no longer appearing on ESPN.</p>
<p>ESPN does have more plans for the platform. This fall, there is set to be an exclusive NFL fixture on ESPN+ from Wembley Stadium on October 8. This, combined with increases in programming costs by 48% to $454 million per quarter, contributes to the ESPN+ rise in prices.</p>


ESPN+ price increase has occurred. With more content and higher production costs, we have the details about the new pricing plans.
