What's available

Paramount+ is accessible in the UAE and gives you a solid library of CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Paramount film content. You can stream popular originals and franchises including:

  • The Yellowstone universe — including 1883 and 1923
  • Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone
  • Halo (the live-action series)
  • The Transformers film franchise
  • Paramount blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible films
  • Nickelodeon favourites like SpongeBob SquarePants

CBS dramas such as NCIS and Survivor are also available in the UAE library.

What you're missing

The UAE library is noticeably smaller than what US subscribers get. Several high-profile titles are geo-restricted and won't appear in your catalogue:

  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and other Star Trek series
  • South Park — fully available in the US but blocked in UAE
  • iCarly revival seasons
  • Live CBS Sports and NFL on CBS streaming
  • Some MTV reality shows including older Jersey Shore seasons
  • Certain Paramount+ exclusive films that are region-locked to North America

How to access other regions

To unlock the full US Paramount+ library from the UAE, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your real location and routes your connection through a server in another country, making Paramount+ think you're browsing from that region.

Connect to a US server — New York or Los Angeles work reliably — before opening Paramount+. Our top recommendation is NordVPN. It consistently bypasses Paramount+ geo-blocks, offers fast streaming speeds, and has a large pool of US servers to switch between if one gets flagged.

Pricing

Paramount+ charges in USD for UAE subscribers rather than AED. Plans typically start at around $5.99/month for the Essential tier and $11.99/month for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. Pricing may shift, so check the Paramount+ site directly at sign-up for the latest figures.

Our recommendation

If you're in the UAE and want to get real value from Paramount+, pairing it with NordVPN is the straightforward move. The UAE library alone isn't worth a standalone subscription — you're missing too much, especially Star Trek, South Park, and live sports. Connect to a US server, and suddenly your subscription becomes genuinely competitive. Sign up for NordVPN first, connect, then create or log into your Paramount+ account for the best results.
