Save up to $79.98, technically: Through Nov. 3, new and returning Paramount+ subscribers can get 50% off an annual subscription (totaling $24.99/year for Essential or $49.99/year Premium after discount) plus a free Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite (a $29.99/value).

Smart TVs might be the norm now, but one emotional support non-smart TV lives on in many of our homes. A Fire TV Stick is all you need to get streaming apps on that old TV, and Paramount+ will give you one for free.

A UEFA Champions League-themed deal from Paramount+ (running through Nov. 3) is helping both soccer and non-soccer fans: Any new or returning Paramount+ subscriber can save 50% when signing up for an Essential or Premium annual subscription ($24.99 or $49.99/year after discount, respectively). The deal also unlocks a free Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite. If you count that $29.99 value, savings add up to $54.98 or $79.98, depending on your subscription.

(Be sure to keep that your old TV remote around. The Lite version of the Fire TV Stick can't control volume or turn the TV on and off, but it does respond to Alexa commands.)

Paramount+ is one of the best streaming services to have to catch live sports, both college and professional. After CBS cut its own streaming service, Paramount+ became the place to watch CBS Live. Both tiers include NFL on CBS live, and for Premium subscribers, everything playing on your local CBS station. Any Paramount+ subscription also gets you every match from the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

The Paramount+ library hits home outside of sports, too. It's the place to stream whatever nostalgic Nickelodeon or MTV show that randomly came to mind at 2 a.m., plus recent hits like Yellowjackets and The Good Fight, reality icons like RuPaul's Drag Race, and kids' favorites like Paw Patrol. Movie options are particularly clutch for spooky season, including Orphan: First Kill and Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.
