Paramount+ – Quick Guide to Shows, Sports & How to Subscribe

Looking for a fresh streaming service that mixes movies, TV hits and live sports? Paramount+ might be the answer. It’s the new home of classic Star Wars movies, hit series like The Good Fight, and a growing sports lineup that now includes Formula 1. In this guide we’ll walk you through the basics, show you how to get started, and point out where to catch the next race.

Getting Started with Paramount+

Signing up is straightforward. Head to the Paramount+ website or download the app on your phone, tablet, smart TV or gaming console. You can choose a monthly plan (around £5‑£7) or a cheaper annual option if you’re sure you’ll stick around. There’s also a free trial period, usually 7‑30 days, so you can test the service before committing.

After you create an account, the app will ask you to set up some preferences – pick your favorite genres, enable notifications for new episodes, and link any existing TV providers if you want to merge live channels. The interface is clean: the top bar shows categories, the middle scrolls through featured titles, and a “My List” button lets you save shows you don’t want to miss.

Don’t forget to adjust the streaming quality. If you have a fast broadband connection, select HD or 4K (when available) for the best picture. On mobile data, you can switch to a lower setting to save bandwidth. All of this is under Settings → Playback.

Where to Find Formula 1 on Paramount+

Formula 1 fans have a new home for live races, highlights and exclusive documentaries. Paramount+ secured rights to stream the entire F1 season in the UK and a few other markets, meaning you can watch each Grand Prix as it happens, plus the qualifying sessions and sprint races.

To locate the races, open the app and go to the Sports section. You’ll see a “Formula 1” tile – tap it and you’ll find a calendar of upcoming events, plus on‑demand replays. If you miss a race, the full‑length recording is usually available within a few hours, and you can watch it at any time.

Beyond live action, Paramount+ offers a library of classic F1 content: driver documentaries, team histories, and the popular series “Drive to Survive” made by Netflix but now also featured under the “Motorsport” hub. Those programs give you behind‑the‑scenes insights that even hardcore fans love.

If you already have a cable or satellite bundle that includes F1, look for a “Pass” option inside Paramount+. Some providers let you link your existing subscription, so you won’t be double‑paying. Check the help center for a step‑by‑step guide on linking accounts.

Finally, remember that live sports can be bandwidth‑heavy. If you’re watching from a shared Wi‑Fi network, try to limit other streaming activities during race time. A wired Ethernet connection often gives the smoothest experience, especially for high‑speed races where every second counts.

Paramount+ is more than just a movie library; it’s becoming a solid platform for sports lovers who want flexibility. With a simple sign‑up, easy navigation, and full access to the F1 calendar, it’s worth a try whether you’re a casual viewer or a die‑hard fan. Happy streaming!
