Streaming
Paramount+
Paramount+ is Paramount's streaming service with CBS live TV, NFL games, Star Trek originals, and a library of Paramount film and TV content.
What is Paramount+?
Is Paramount+ down? Paramount+ is the streaming service from Paramount Global, relaunched and rebranded from CBS All Access in March 2021. It combines the full CBS broadcast library with Paramount Network content, MTV reality programming, Nickelodeon children's shows, BET originals, and Paramount's massive theatrical film catalogue including franchises like Mission: Impossible, Transformers, and the Star Trek universe. The service also carries live NFL on CBS games and Champions League soccer, making it a compelling hybrid of on-demand and live sports.
Paramount+ grew rapidly to over 60 million global subscribers, partly through international distribution deals and bundle partnerships, including an integration with Walmart+ in the United States. The service's live sports rights are a key traffic driver — NFL playoff games and UEFA Champions League finals routinely attract millions of concurrent viewers and represent the highest-pressure moments for Paramount+ infrastructure.
Outages on Paramount+ typically manifest as login failures, black screens at video load, buffering during live events, or content appearing unavailable despite a valid subscription. CBS Sports live streams during NFL season are the most frequent source of performance complaints.
If Paramount+ is down, Outage.gg tracks Paramount+ server status and outage history in real time with real-time community reports. If Paramount+ is down or experiencing issues, visit the live status page to see whether others are affected and get alerted the moment the service recovers.
