Football season is now upon us, which means you’ll be seeing streaming packages-galore from some of the top entertainment platforms. In fact, Paramount Plus is gearing up to onboard a bunch of new subscribers, and it’s got everything to do with an exciting promo the streamer is offering:
As part of Paramount’s “thank you” to American football fans, a new Paramount Plus subscription is 50% off when you sign up before September 6. With this discount in effect, you can expect to pay $30 per year for Paramount, or $2.50 per month.
This promotion is available to new Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers. We also have a list of other Paramount Plus deals for you to peruse.
Paramount Plus is home to a massive library of movies, shows, and platform exclusives, with the collection made up of Paramount and CBS titles, as well as Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon. You’ll be able to download the Paramount Plus app on just about any mobile device, smart TV, or streaming device, and football fans are in for a treat: Not only will you be able to stream your local team’s game every week, but you’ll also be able to tune in for the NFL on the CBS 4:25 live window.
Paramount Plus hosts other sports content too, including American basketball, cricket, golf, and soccer. While the Essential plan grants you access to a lot of Paramount Plus content, the Paramount+ with Showtime subscription gives you additional benefits; including access to Paramount Plus’s entire library, ad-free playback, and offline downloads for mobile devices. Both the Essential and Showtime plans also come with one free week of service.
Paramount Plus will allow you to cancel your subscription at any time, and there are no hidden fees built into your monthly or annual billing. If you’ve been thinking of expanding your streaming media net, there’s never been a better time to sign up for something new. Save 50% on a new Paramount Plus subscription when you sign up before September 6.

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
