Cancel Paramount+ Through Your Account Settings

To cancel Paramount+, log into your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to your account settings, and select the option to manage your subscription. From there, you can choose to cancel when ready or at the end of your current billing cycle. The process takes about two minutes and requires no phone call or chat with customer service.

If you subscribed through Paramount+ directly (not through another service like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video), you will see a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button in your account settings. Click it, confirm that you want to cancel, and choose whether to stop service right away or let your current billing period finish. Paramount+ will send you a confirmation email once the cancellation is complete.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel Paramount+ directly through your account settings on the website or mobile app without contacting customer service.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount+.
  • Canceling when ready stops your access right away, while canceling at the end of your billing cycle lets you keep access until your next charge date.
  • Paramount+ will email you a cancellation confirmation, and you can resubscribe at any time in the future.

Cancel a Paramount+ Subscription Through Apple TV Channels

If you subscribed to Paramount+ as an add-on channel through Apple TV Channels, you cannot cancel it through Paramount's website. Instead, open the Apple TV app on your device, go to Account Settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. On a Mac or PC, visit tv.apple.com, sign in, click your profile icon, select Account, then Subscriptions, and cancel from there.

Apple will confirm the cancellation in the Apple TV app and send you an email receipt. Your access to Paramount+ will end on your next billing date unless you choose to cancel when ready. If you cancel when ready through Apple, you lose access right away but are not charged again.

Cancel Paramount+ Through Amazon Prime Video Channels

Paramount+ subscriptions purchased through Amazon Prime Video Channels must be canceled in your Amazon account, not through Paramount+. On the Amazon website or app, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and click Cancel Channel. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

Amazon will send you a confirmation email and show the cancellation status in your account. If you cancel before your next billing date, you will not be charged again. You can still watch Paramount+ content until the end of your current billing period unless you choose to cancel when ready.

Cancel Paramount+ Through Other Subscription Services

Paramount+ is also available as an add-on through Roku Channel, The Roku Channel, YouTube TV, and other streaming bundles. If you subscribed through one of these services, you must cancel through that service's account settings, not through Paramount+ directly.

Log into the service where you subscribed, find your subscriptions or memberships section, locate Paramount+, and select the option to cancel. Each service has slightly different wording and menu locations, but the process is similar: find the subscription, click cancel, and confirm. The service will email you a confirmation, and your access will end on your next billing date or when ready, depending on which option you choose.

What Happens After You Cancel

Once you cancel Paramount+, your access ends either when ready or at the end of your current billing cycle, depending on which option you selected. You will not be charged again. Your account information and any saved preferences (like watch history or favorites) may be stored for a limited time, but you will not be able to watch content once your subscription ends.

If you change your mind, you can resubscribe to Paramount+ at any time through the same method you originally used. Paramount+ does not charge a reactivation fee, and you will start a new billing cycle from the date you resubscribe. Some promotional offers may no longer be available if you resubscribe later.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Canceling

The most common mistake is trying to cancel through the wrong platform. If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, or another third-party service, canceling through Paramount's website will not work. Check your original confirmation email or your payment method to see where you subscribed, then cancel through that same place.

Another mistake is assuming your access ends when ready when you cancel at the end of your billing cycle. You will still have full access until your next charge date arrives. If you need access to stop right away, select the when ready cancellation option instead. Finally, do not delete the Paramount+ app thinking that cancels your subscription—the app and the subscription are separate, and deleting the app does nothing to stop your charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel Paramount+ mid-billing cycle?

No. Paramount+ and most third-party services do not offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel when ready, you lose access right away but are not refunded for the remainder of that billing period. If you cancel at the end of your cycle, you keep access until your next charge date and are not charged again.

Can I pause my Paramount+ subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount+ does not offer a pause or freeze option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later when you are ready to use the service again.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

Paramount+ and third-party services send a confirmation email after you cancel. Check your email inbox and spam folder for a message from Paramount+, Apple, Amazon, or whichever service you subscribed through. You can also log back into your account and check your subscription status in the settings.

What if I subscribed through a promotional offer or bundle?

Cancel through the same service where you subscribed. If Paramount+ was part of a larger bundle (like a Roku Channel package), canceling Paramount+ alone will not cancel the entire bundle. You can cancel just Paramount+ and keep the other channels, or cancel the whole bundle if you prefer.

Can I cancel Paramount+ on my phone if I subscribed on a computer?

Yes. Your account is the same across all devices. You can cancel through the Paramount+ app on your phone, the website on a computer, or any device where you can log in. The cancellation applies to your entire account, not just that device.
