How to Get Paramount Plus on Xfinity Devices? [2026 Guide]

Looking to stream Paramount Plus on your Xfinity setup? With hit shows like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Yellowstone spinoffs, and a massive library from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon, it's one of the most content-packed streaming services available in 2026.

The good news: getting Paramount Plus running on Xfinity devices is straightforward once you know the steps. This guide covers everything from device compatibility and current subscription costs ($7.99-$12.99/month as of 2026) to a workaround for offline viewing that Xfinity doesn't natively support.

1. Availabilities of Paramount Plus on Xfinity

The Paramount+ app is supported on the following Xfinity devices:

• Xfinity X1 set-top boxes (Xi3, Xi5, Xi6 models) - These advanced TV boxes and DVRs let you install and open the Paramount+ app directly through your Xfinity subscription. It's quick, smooth, and built right in.
• Xfinity Flex 4K streaming device - The Flex box comes with the Peacock app preinstalled while allowing you to also download other streaming apps like Paramount+ from its app store if subscribed through Xfinity.
• Xfinity Stream app (mobile & web) – You can stream Paramount+ via the Xfinity Stream app on iOS, Android, and Roku, as well as through web browsers at stream.xfinity.com.

2. Is Paramount Plus free with Xfinity?

No, Paramount+ doesn't come free with Xfinity. You'll need a separate subscription. But occasionally, Xfinity offers discounts or small perks when you add it to your package.

• Paramount+ isn't automatically included with Xfinity, so you'll still need a paid subscription. It's a separate service, plain and simple, even for Xfinity users.
• Some Xfinity TV packages do come with Peacock Premium for free, which offers some streaming content from NBC and Universal.
• Xfinity does offer occasional promotional discounts for the Paramount+ Essential plan. Current standard pricing (2026): $7.99/month with ads or $12.99/month ad-free.
• New Xfinity Internet + TV subscribers may get extended Paramount+ free trial lengths of 30-45 days sometimes via Xfinity sign-ups.
• College students with Xfinity on-campus plans receive 12-month Paramount+ Essential subscriptions at no added cost.
