Cancel Paramount+ Through Your Account Settings

To cancel Paramount+, log into your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to your account settings, find the subscription or billing section, and select the option to cancel. The exact wording and location varies slightly between the website and mobile apps, but the process takes about two minutes. You will be asked to confirm the cancellation, and some accounts may see a retention offer before the final step.

If you subscribed directly through Paramount+ (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or Roku), this is the fastest way to end your subscription. Your access stops at the end of your current billing cycle—you will not be charged again, but you can watch until that date passes. Paramount+ will send a confirmation email once the cancellation is complete.

Key Takeaways

  • Direct Paramount+ subscriptions cancel through your account settings on the website or app, and access ends at the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform's app or website, not through Paramount+ itself.
  • Paramount+ will send a confirmation email after cancellation, and you can still watch until your billing cycle ends.
  • If you cannot find the cancel option, contact Paramount+ support by phone or through the help section of your account.

Cancel a Paramount+ Subscription Through a Third-Party Platform

If you subscribed to Paramount+ through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another platform, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount+ itself. Canceling in your Paramount+ account settings will not work—the subscription is tied to the service you paid through.

For Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose Cancel Membership. For Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, choose Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Roku: Go to Roku Home, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and select Cancel.

Each platform processes cancellations at the end of your current billing cycle. You will receive a confirmation from that platform (Apple, Amazon, Google, or Roku), not from Paramount+ directly, though Paramount+ may also send a notice that your subscription has ended.

What Happens After You Cancel

After cancellation, you keep access to Paramount+ until the last day of your current billing cycle. If you paid monthly and canceled on the 15th of the month, you can watch until the end of that month. If you paid for a year upfront, you can watch until a year from your original purchase date. Paramount+ will not refund the portion of your subscription you have not yet used.

Once your access ends, you can resubscribe at any time. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings may be saved for a limited time, but Paramount+ does not may provide they will remain after cancellation. If you want to preserve your watchlist, take a screenshot or write down the titles before your access expires.

Contact Paramount+ Support if You Cannot Cancel

If you cannot find the cancel option in your account settings, or if the button does not work, contact Paramount+ support. You can reach them through the Help section of the Paramount+ website or app—look for a Contact Us or Support link. Paramount+ also offers phone support, though wait times vary.

When you contact support, have your account email and the date you subscribed ready. Tell them you want to cancel your subscription. Support can cancel the account for you if the self-service option is not working, and they can sometimes process a refund if you were charged after requesting cancellation, though refunds are not standard.

Canceling a Free Trial Before It Converts to Paid

If you signed up for a free trial and want to cancel before being charged, the important date is usually the last day of the trial period. Cancel through the same method you used to subscribe—either your Paramount+ account settings or the third-party platform. Paramount+ will not charge you if you cancel before the trial ends, but if you cancel after the first paid charge posts, you will need to request a refund from support.

Check your confirmation email from when you signed up to see the exact date your trial ends. Set a reminder a few days before that date if you know you do not want to continue. Some accounts show the trial end date in the account settings under Subscription or Billing.

Reactivating Your Paramount+ Subscription Later

You can resubscribe to Paramount+ at any time after cancellation. Log back into your account on the website or app, go to the subscription section, and select the option to restart or resubscribe. You will be charged starting on the day you reactivate. If you originally subscribed through a third-party platform, you can resubscribe through that platform the same way you did before.

Paramount+ sometimes offers discounts or promotions to returning subscribers, though these are not may provide. Check your email for offers after you cancel—Paramount+ occasionally sends deals to lapsed subscribers. You can also check the Paramount+ website directly to see if any current promotions are running.
