Which Paramount+ plan carries your local CBS station?
Match the US Paramount+ plan to a live CBS station, a local NFL game or an episode you can watch after broadcast.

Start with the programme you want
For a US viewer who wants the local CBS station as an ongoing live channel, Paramount+ lists that feature under Premium. Essential can carry current CBS episodes on demand after broadcast. Paramount+ says they generally arrive the following day, with timing that varies by programme. If you are planning to watch a finale with someone who has the antenna feed, that difference can change your evening.
An NFL tile can make the plans look more alike than they are. Paramount+ says Essential members can watch their live local NFL on CBS game. That stream ends when the game ends. Someone who sees the game on Essential should therefore still check the plan terms before counting on that same app for the local evening newscast.
Pick the row that matches the viewing plan
| What you want on the television | Where to check |
|---|---|
| The local CBS station at its scheduled airtime | US Paramount+ Premium and the Live TV screen |
| Your live local NFL on CBS game | The game tile in Live TV and the local CBS broadcast schedule |
| Yesterday’s episode of a current CBS series | The series page and season list |
| A particular news segment from your local market | The station’s own programme listing or archive |
Confirm on the television you will use
Sign in on the television before airtime and open Live TV. For a local station, check the call letters or market label. For a game, look for the teams and start time in the actual event tile. The service name on a smart TV home screen tells you which app is installed. The station and event rows are the useful evidence for what you can watch.
If someone else pays for the account, ask them to confirm the exact plan name in account settings before you order anything. Include the device model and the requested programme when asking support about a missing row. A subscriber who can open yesterday’s episode but cannot find a live station is reporting a much clearer problem than someone who says CBS is missing.
