Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings

To cancel Paramount Plus, log into your account on the Paramount Plus website or app, go to your Account settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. The system will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can decline and proceed with cancellation. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready.

If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly (not through another service), this is the fastest way to cancel. The process takes about two minutes. You will not be charged again after your current period ends, even if you do not formally confirm the cancellation a second time.

Keep your confirmation email or take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page. This gives you proof if a charge appears later and you need to contact support.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancellation through your Paramount Plus account settings ends on your next billing date, not right away.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount Plus.
  • Paramount Plus may offer a discount or free trial extension when you try to cancel — you can accept or decline without affecting your cancellation.
  • You can reactivate your subscription later using the same login, and your saved preferences will still be there.

Cancel if you subscribed through a third-party service

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another platform, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount Plus itself. Canceling only through Paramount Plus will not stop the charges from your third-party provider.

For Apple subscriptions, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Paramount Plus > Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video, open the Prime Video app or website, go to Account > Your Subscriptions and Memberships > Manage Your Paramount Plus Subscription > Cancel. For Google Play, open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon > Payments and Subscriptions > Subscriptions > Paramount Plus > Cancel Subscription. Each platform has its own process, so check the help section of whichever service you used.

If you are unsure which service you used, check your credit card or bank statement. The charge will show the name of the company that billed you — Apple, Amazon, Google, or Paramount Plus directly.

What happens to your account after cancellation

After you cancel, you keep access to Paramount Plus until the end of your current billing period. If you paid monthly and cancel on the 15th of the month, you can watch until the end of that month. You will not be charged again.

Your watchlist, saved shows, and viewing history stay on file if you decide to reactivate later. You can log back in with the same email and password and pick up where you left off. Paramount Plus does not delete inactive accounts.

If you are being charged after cancellation

If you see a charge after your cancellation date has passed, log into your account and check the Subscription section to confirm the cancellation went through. Sometimes a charge appears a few days after the billing cycle ends — this is normal and should not happen again.

If charges continue, contact Paramount Plus support through the Help section of your account. Have your billing statement and the date you canceled ready. If you subscribed through a third party and charges continue, contact that service's support team instead — they handle the billing, not Paramount Plus.

Downgrading instead of canceling

Paramount Plus offers a free tier with ads and a paid tier without ads. If you want to keep watching but pay less, you can downgrade to the free version instead of canceling entirely. Go to Account > Subscription and select the free plan. You will lose access to the ad-free experience, but your watchlist and history remain.

The downgrade takes effect on your next billing date. You will not be charged for the paid tier after that date.

Reactivating your subscription later

If you cancel and change your mind, you can reactivate anytime by logging back into your account and selecting a subscription plan. You will be charged starting on the day you reactivate, not on your original billing date. Your saved shows and watchlist will be exactly as you left them.

Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee or require you to wait a certain amount of time before you can come back. You can cancel and restart as many times as you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my saved shows and watchlist if I cancel?

No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings stay on your account indefinitely. If you reactivate later, everything will be there. Paramount Plus only deletes account data if you request it directly.

Can I cancel before my free trial ends?

Yes. You can cancel during a free trial and will not be charged. Your access ends when the trial period ends, not when ready after you cancel.

What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

Some cable and phone providers bundle Paramount Plus with their service. Contact your provider's customer service to remove Paramount Plus from your account. Canceling through Paramount Plus directly will not stop charges from your provider.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for partial months. You keep access until the end of your billing period, but you will not receive money back for unused days.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

Log into your account and check the Subscription section. It should show "No active subscription" or display your free plan status. You can also look for a cancellation confirmation email, though not all cancellations generate one.
