Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings

You can cancel Paramount Plus yourself in a few minutes by going into your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app. The steps are the same whether you pay Paramount Plus directly or through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play — but where you cancel matters, because cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active.

If you pay Paramount Plus directly (meaning you entered your credit card information on Paramount's own website), log into your account on paramount.com, go to your profile menu, select Account, then Billing, and choose Cancel Subscription. Paramount will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore that and proceed. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready.

If you signed up through a third-party platform — Apple App Store, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or The Roku Channel — you must cancel through that same platform, not through Paramount. Cancelling on Paramount's website will not stop the charges if your payment method is linked to Apple or Amazon.

Key Takeaways

  • If you pay Paramount Plus directly with a credit card, cancel through paramount.com in your Account and Billing settings.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform's subscription settings, not on Paramount's website.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period after you cancel — you are not cut off when ready.
  • Paramount may offer a discount code to keep you subscribed; you can decline and proceed with cancellation.
  • Save any downloads or recordings before your access ends, because they will be removed once your subscription is no longer active.

Cancel through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku if you subscribed there

Apple App Store: Open the App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, go to App Store > Account Settings > Subscriptions instead.

Amazon Prime Video: Go to amazon.com, sign in, go to Your Account, select Prime Video Settings, then Manage Your Prime Video Membership. You will see the option to cancel your Paramount Plus add-on subscription there.

Google Play: Open Google Play on your Android device or go to play.google.com on a computer. Go to your account menu, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription.

The Roku Channel: On your Roku device, go to The Roku Channel, select your profile, go to Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel. You can also manage this through roku.com if you sign in there.

What happens after you cancel

Your Paramount Plus account stays active until the last day of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 20th, you keep access through the 20th. After that date, you cannot log in and your account is closed.

Any downloads you made to watch offline will be removed from your device once your subscription ends. If you want to keep watching something, finish it before your access expires. You can resubscribe at any time — Paramount does not delete your watchlist or viewing history, so your account will look the same if you come back.

If you cannot find the cancel button

If you have looked through your account settings and the cancel option is not there, you may have a promotional or bundled subscription that requires a different cancellation process. Some Paramount Plus subscriptions come bundled with other services — for example, through Walmart Plus or as part of a cable package — and those must be cancelled through the parent service, not through Paramount itself.

Check your original confirmation email to see which service you signed up through. If you subscribed through a cable provider or a bundle, contact that company's customer service to cancel. If you subscribed directly but still cannot locate the cancel button, Paramount Plus customer service can walk you through it — you can reach them through the Help section on paramount.com.

Stopping charges if you forgot to cancel

If you were charged after you thought you cancelled, log back into your account and check whether the cancellation actually went through. Sometimes the confirmation screen appears but the cancellation does not process if you close the browser before the final step completes.

If you cancelled but were still charged, contact your payment method — your credit card company, Apple, Amazon, or Google — and dispute the charge. Most will reverse a single unwanted charge within 24 to 48 hours. You can also contact Paramount Plus support to ask for a refund, though they are not required to grant one if you cancelled after the billing date had already passed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose access when ready after I cancel?

No. You keep access through the end of your current billing period. If your next charge date is in two weeks, you have two weeks to watch. Once that date passes, you are logged out and cannot watch anything.

Can I cancel and resubscribe later without losing my watchlist?

Yes. Paramount Plus keeps your account data — your watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences — even after cancellation. When you resubscribe, everything will be there.

What if I subscribed through my cable provider?

You must cancel through your cable provider's website or customer service line, not through Paramount. Check your cable bill or the provider's app to find the subscription management section.

Will Paramount offer me a discount to stay?

Paramount often shows a discount offer when you try to cancel. You can accept it if you want to stay, or ignore it and proceed with cancellation. There is no penalty for declining the offer.

How do I know if my cancellation actually went through?

Log back into your account a few hours later and check your Account and Billing section. If cancellation was successful, it will say your subscription is set to end on a specific date. If you still see an active subscription with no end date, the cancellation did not process and you should try again.
