Walmart Canada has officially launched its Walmart+ membership program across the country, marking the first time the service has expanded outside the United States. Introduced in early June 2026, the program provides Canadian shoppers with a combination of enhanced delivery and shipping benefits alongside a full subscription to Crave Standard with Ads at no additional cost. Priced at $8.97 per month or $89 annually plus taxes, Walmart+ positions itself as an accessible option that bundles everyday retail conveniences with premium entertainment access.
The core delivery perks focus on convenience and cost savings for frequent Walmart customers. Members receive unlimited same-day delivery on eligible standard orders over $35 from participating stores, with no delivery fees applied and the same competitive pricing available in physical locations. This feature covers a wide range of grocery, household, and general merchandise items where same-day service is offered. In addition, Walmart+ includes free shipping on all eligible orders placed through Walmart.ca, eliminating any minimum purchase threshold. Exclusions apply for freight shipments, oversized items, and products fulfilled by third-party marketplace sellers. These delivery and shipping advantages can quickly offset the membership cost for regular shoppers who previously paid per-order express fees.
A defining element of the Canadian Walmart+ offering is the embedded Crave Standard with Ads subscription. This plan, which typically stands alone at $11.99 per month, grants members immediate access to an extensive library of premium content without extra charges. The service features HBO series and Max Originals, recent Hollywood blockbusters and theatrical releases, Crave Original productions, hit television series, and programming from Canadian networks including CTV and Noovo. Content spans both English and French-language options, reflecting the bilingual nature of the platform. Members can also stream select live events, sports broadcasts, and news programming. A notable highlight includes access to 44 FIFA World Cup matches, encompassing every game involving the Canadian national team. The ad-supported tier supports up to two simultaneous streams and delivers video quality up to 1080p resolution.
Activation of the Crave benefit occurs through the Walmart+ member portal, directing users to create or sign in to a Bell Media account for seamless access on supported devices and platforms. This integration represents the first retail membership program in Canada to bundle Crave directly as a core benefit, adding significant entertainment value alongside shopping perks. Non-members who subscribe to Crave Standard with Ads separately would pay the full standalone rate, making the combined Walmart+ package particularly cost-effective for households interested in both convenient purchasing and on-demand viewing.
Additional incentives further enhance the membership’s appeal. Customers who pay for the annual plan using the Walmart Rewards Mastercard qualify for up to six months of membership at no charge each year. A free trial option is also available for new users to experience the full range of benefits before committing. The launch builds on Walmart Canada’s prior Delivery Pass service, which has been upgraded and expanded into the more comprehensive Walmart+ model for existing subscribers.
By combining reliable same-day delivery from local stores, flexible shipping without minimums, and high-quality streaming entertainment, Walmart+ delivers a unified value proposition tailored to Canadian consumers. The program supports efficient household management for groceries and essentials while providing broad access to acclaimed series, films, and live programming through Crave. Availability extends to regions served by Walmart stores and its delivery network, allowing members nationwide to take advantage of these integrated features. This development expands options in the competitive Canadian subscription market, where shoppers increasingly seek bundled services that address both practical needs and leisure activities in a single affordable package.
