Paramount+, the latest streaming service from ViacomCBS, is finally here.

The service is available starting Thursday at $5.99 a month.

During an event last week, ViacomCBS announced Paramount+ will arrive in the U.S. in two forms starting in June: a basic tier for $4.99 a month and a premium tier without ads for $9.99 a month.

The basic tier will include live sports including NFL football, access to CBSN and CBS News on demand, and access to exclusive original content.

The premium tier will add CBS Live TV, access to local CBS networks, CBS Network News and additional live sports options.

On March 4, Paramount+ replaced CBS All Access and maintains its current pricing of $5.99 a month with limited commercials and $9.99 commercial free. Paramount+ is available on most streaming devices including Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV and Apple TV, as well as on smartphones, tablets and video game consoles. In June, ViacomCBS says, it will sunset the $5.99 plan.

The service features content from Paramount's movie studio as well as networks including CBS, MTV, BET and Nickelodeon. Subscribers can also bundle other services, such as Showtime and Pluto TV, which offers TV shows and movies for free.
