What Samsung TVs support Paramount Plus?

Paramount Plus is available on all Samsung TVs running Tizen OS from 2017 and newer. Therefore, if you have recently purchased your Samsung TV, you can easily find and install the Paramount Plus app from the app store.

However, if you can’t find Paramount Plus in the app store on your Samsung TV, it probably doesn’t support the app. This means your TV is either old or the OS is not up-to-date.

Also, remember that Paramount Plus may not be available in your region. You may even have a new Samsung TV with Tizen OS, but if Paramount Plus isn’t available in your country, you won’t find its app in Smart Hub.

Let’s take a closer look below at the list of Samsung TVs on which Paramount Plus is available and what to do if you can’t find the app.

List of Samsung TVs supporting Paramount Plus

As stated above, Paramount Plus is available on Samsung TVs with Tizen OS from 2017 and newer. Here’s a list of the Samsung TV series that support this streaming service:

Year	Series
2023	Q, QN, LS, CU, S
2022	Q, QN, LS, BU, S
2021	Q, QN, LS, AU
2020	Q, LS, TU
2019	Q, LS, RU
2018	Q, LS, NS, NU
2017	Q, MS, MU

You can find these letters at the beginning or in the middle of the model number of your Samsung TV.

Here’s more about Samsung model number decoding.

If your Samsung TV model is on this list, you should be able to find Paramount Plus in the app store.

How do I find my Samsung TV model number?

If you don’t remember the model of your Samsung TV, you can find its number in the settings menu. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Press the Home button on your Samsung remote and navigate to Settings.
• Then scroll down to the Support section and select About This TV.

• Finally, you should see your model number (model code).

Match this code to the list above. If your model is on the list, but you still can’t find Paramount Plus in the app store, there can only be two reasons.

• You haven’t updated the Tizen OS of your Samsung TV since 2020. The Paramount Plus app only arrived on Samsung TV in 2021. Therefore, if you haven’t updated your TV, the app store hasn’t updated and added the streaming service app either.
• Paramount Plus is not available in your region.

While you can get rid of the problem in the first case by updating the TV, there is, unfortunately, nothing you can do in the second case.

What to do if you can’t find Paramount Plus on Samsung TV?

Here’s what you can do.

Update Tizen OS

Keeping your Tizen OS up-to-date ensures you get the latest features and security patches. Plus, it can solve compatibility issues with apps like Paramount Plus. So here’s how to do it:

• Navigate to the Settings menu.
• Scroll down and select Support.
• After that, hit Software Update.

• Choose Update now.

If the TV detects a new software version, it will update automatically. After the update, check the app store. Paramount Plus should appear in the list.

Check the region

It is easy to check if Paramount Plus is available in your country. Just go to https://www.paramountplus.com/. If you are offered to subscribe to a newsletter, this service does not work in your country.

On the other hand, it works if you see a page asking you to buy a subscription. Of course, if Paramount Plus does not work in your region, you will not find it in the app store on your TV.

Clear cache

How to do it:

• Make sure your TV is on.
• Hold down the Power button on your Samsung remote for at least 20 seconds.
• The memory cache will be cleared.

Your TV might restart, or the screen might go black for a few seconds. Don’t panic; it’s just doing its thing.

Once your Samsung TV is back on, go to the app store and check whether the Paramount Plus app is available now.

Can I run Paramount Plus on older Samsung TVs?

Unfortunately, no. If your Samsung TV was released before 2017, you won’t be able to install Paramount Plus on it. However, you still have a way out.

Install Paramount Plus on your Xbox or PlayStation

Paramount Plus is available on Xbox One/Series S/Series X and PS 4/5. So you don’t need to buy a new TV or even a set-top box or TV stick if you have one of these game consoles. Just connect it to your TV, install Paramount Plus, and enjoy.

Watch Paramount Plus using streaming devices

If you don’t have an Xbox or PS, you can buy a streaming device like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Chromecast and find Paramount Plus there. It would still be cheaper than buying a new TV. Here’s the list of the cheapest streaming devices on which Paramount Plus is available:

• Roku Express – $29.99
• Chromecast – $29.99
• Amazon Fire Stick – $39.99

Paramount Plus is also available on Apple TV. However, compared to the prices of the above-listed streaming devices, Apple’s set-top box is not such a favorable option. Don’t forget that you will still need to pay for a Paramount Plus subscription.
