Cancel Paramount+ directly through your account settings

To cancel Paramount+, log into your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to your Account Settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. The system will ask you to confirm and may offer 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+ directly (not through another service), this is the fastest route. The cancellation takes effect within minutes, though you keep access until your paid period ends. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 20th, you can watch until the 20th.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancelling through Paramount+ settings ends your subscription at the end of your current billing cycle, 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+.
  • Paramount+ does not refund partial months, so cancelling mid-cycle means you lose the unused portion of that month's payment.
  • After cancellation, your login still works until your access date passes, so you can rewatch content you already started.

Cancel through a third-party service if you subscribed that way

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

For Apple: 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. For Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Payments and Subscriptions, Subscriptions, then Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Each platform handles the process slightly differently, but all follow the same general path through account settings.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Once your billing cycle ends, you lose access to Paramount+ content. You cannot read shows or movies to watch offline after cancellation takes effect. If you had a profile set up with your watch history and saved shows, that information stays in the system for a limited time — if you resubscribe within a few months, your profile usually returns with your history intact.

You can cancel and resubscribe as many times as you want. There is no penalty for cancelling and coming back later. Some users cancel during months when they have finished watching what they want, then resubscribe when new seasons of shows they follow air.

Cancellation does not refund unused time

Paramount+ does not issue refunds for the unused portion of your billing cycle. If you cancel on the 5th of the month and your billing date is the 30th, you lose access to the money you paid for those remaining 25 days. The only exception is if you catch a billing error — for example, if you were charged twice in one month — in which case you can contact Paramount+ support to request a refund.

To avoid losing money, check your billing date before you cancel. If you are near the end of your cycle, waiting a few days to cancel means you get more value from the payment you already made.

Reactivate your subscription if you change your mind

If you cancel and then want to resubscribe before your access ends, you can turn your subscription back on through the same method you used to cancel. Log back into your account, go to Subscription settings, and choose Reactivate or Resume. Your billing will restart on the date you reactivate, not on your original billing date.

If you cancel and your access has already ended, you can sign back up as a new subscriber. Your old profile and watch history may still be there if you log in with the same email address, depending on how long ago you cancelled.

Contact Paramount+ support if cancellation does not go through

If you tried to cancel through the app or website and the option does not appear, or if you are still being charged after cancellation, contact Paramount+ support through the Help section of the website or app. Have your account email and the date you attempted to cancel ready. Support can manually process a cancellation or investigate a billing issue.

If you subscribed through a third party and are still being charged after cancelling through that service, contact the third party's support first — they handle the billing relationship with Paramount+. If they confirm the cancellation went through on their end but charges continue, then escalate to Paramount+ support with proof of the third-party cancellation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel Paramount+ anytime, or is there a contract?

Paramount+ has no contract. You can cancel at any time without penalty. Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, and you are not charged again after cancellation takes effect.

Will I lose my watch history and saved shows if I cancel?

Your profile, watch history, and saved shows stay in the system for several months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that window using the same email address, your profile usually returns with all your data intact.

What if I cancel but still see a charge on my credit card?

Check the charge date. If it is dated before your cancellation took effect, it is a charge you already owed for the current billing cycle. If the charge is dated after your access ended, contact support with your cancellation confirmation and the charge details.

Can I pause my Paramount+ subscription instead of cancelling?

Paramount+ does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop charges temporarily, cancelling and resubscribing later is the only way.

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

No. Paramount+ does not refund unused portions of your billing cycle. You keep access until the end of the cycle you paid for, but no money is returned for the days after cancellation.
