How to Cancel Paramount Plus

You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, or by contacting Paramount Plus customer service directly. The process takes about five minutes and stops your subscription at the end of your current billing cycle — you will not be charged again, but you keep access until that date arrives.

If you signed up through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount Plus itself. Checking your credit card or bank statement will tell you which platform charged you if you are unsure.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancellation through the Paramount Plus website or app stops future charges but keeps your access through the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or another third-party platform, you must cancel through that platform's account settings, not Paramount Plus.
  • You can cancel anytime — there is no contract, and Paramount Plus will not charge you a cancellation fee.
  • Paramount Plus customer service can cancel your account by phone or chat if you prefer not to do it yourself.

Cancel Through the Paramount Plus Website

Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser. Go to your account settings by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner and selecting "Account" from the menu. Scroll down to the "Subscription" section and look for the button labeled "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription" — the exact wording varies depending on your account type.

Click that button and you will see a confirmation screen asking why you are leaving. Paramount Plus asks this question but does not require you to answer it — you can skip it and proceed to cancellation. Review the cancellation date shown on screen to confirm when your access ends, then click the final confirmation button. You will receive an email confirming the cancellation within a few minutes.

Cancel Through the Paramount Plus App

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon, usually in the bottom right corner. Select "Account" or "Settings" depending on your device. Tap "Subscription" and then "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription." The app will walk you through the same confirmation steps as the website.

After you confirm cancellation, the app may ask you to rate your experience or offer you a discount to stay. You do not have to engage with these offers — straightforward close the app. Your cancellation is complete once you see the confirmation message.

Cancel a Third-Party Subscription

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another platform, canceling through Paramount Plus will not work. You must cancel through the service you paid. Here is where to go for the most common platforms:

  • Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
  • Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video account, select "Manage Your Prime Video Subscription," find Paramount Plus, and click "Cancel Channel."
  • Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and Subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
  • Roku: Go to your Roku account settings, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and select "Cancel."

If you are unsure which platform you used, check your credit card or bank statement for the charge. The merchant name will tell you whether Paramount Plus charged you directly or whether Apple, Amazon, Google, or another company did.

What Happens After You Cancel

Your subscription stops renewing on the date shown in your cancellation confirmation. You will keep full access to Paramount Plus — all shows, movies, and features — until midnight on that final day. After that, the app will no longer work and you will see a message asking you to resubscribe.

Paramount Plus does not refund the portion of your current billing cycle that remains after cancellation. If you cancel on the first day of a monthly cycle, you lose the rest of that month's payment. To avoid this, cancel close to your renewal date if possible.

Cancel by Phone or Chat

If you prefer to cancel by speaking to someone, Paramount Plus offers phone and chat support. Visit the Paramount Plus help center and select "Contact Us" to see current phone numbers and chat availability. Have your account email address ready. Customer service representatives can cancel your account when ready without requiring you to access your account settings yourself.

Wait times for phone support vary by time of day. Chat support is usually faster and available during business hours. Neither method charges a fee, and both will send you a confirmation email after cancellation is complete.

Reactivate Your Account Later

If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can log back into your Paramount Plus account with the same email and password. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings remain saved for 10 months after cancellation. After 10 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data, and you will need to create a new account if you return.

When you resubscribe, you will start a new billing cycle at the current subscription price, which may be different from what you paid before. Paramount Plus sometimes offers discounts to returning subscribers, so check for promotional pricing before you resubscribe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be charged again after I cancel?

No. Once you confirm cancellation, Paramount Plus will not charge you again. You keep access through the end of your current billing cycle, and then your subscription ends. If you canceled through a third-party platform like Apple or Amazon, that platform will also stop charging you.

Can I get a refund for the current month?

Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you lose the rest of that month's payment. To minimize waste, cancel as close as possible to your renewal date.

What if I cancel but the charges keep coming?

Contact Paramount Plus customer service when ready with your cancellation confirmation email. If you subscribed through a third party, contact that platform's support instead — for example, Apple Support if you canceled through Apple. Provide your confirmation email and account details, and they will investigate the charge and issue a refund if the cancellation did not process correctly.

Do I lose my saved shows and watchlist when I cancel?

Your watchlist and viewing history stay in your account for 10 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that window, everything is still there. After 10 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data permanently.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later when you are ready to watch again.
