Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings

You can cancel Paramount Plus by logging into your account, going to your account settings, and selecting the option to cancel your subscription. The process takes about two minutes and you will not be charged again after you confirm the cancellation. Your access ends on the date your current billing period would have renewed.

If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider), you cancel the same way you manage any other account setting. Log in at paramountplus.com, click your profile icon in the top right corner, select "Account", then find "Subscription" or "Billing". Look for a button that says "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" and follow the prompts to confirm.

Paramount Plus will usually ask why you are cancelling and may offer you a discount to stay. You can decline and proceed with cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email with your cancellation date.

Key Takeaways

  • You cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, not by calling customer service.
  • Your subscription ends on your next billing date, and you will not be charged again after you confirm cancellation.
  • If you signed up through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount Plus.
  • Paramount Plus may offer a discount code to keep you subscribed, but you can decline and complete the cancellation.
  • You will receive a confirmation email once your cancellation is processed.

Cancelling a subscription you signed up for through another service

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another third-party platform, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount Plus itself. Cancelling only on the Paramount Plus website will not stop the charges from your original payment method.

For Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions", find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription". For Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select "Memberships and Subscriptions", find Paramount Plus, and click "Cancel Channel". For Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions", select "Subscriptions", find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel subscription". For Roku: Go to your Roku account on roku.com, select "Subscriptions", find Paramount Plus, and click "Cancel".

After you cancel through the third-party service, your Paramount Plus account will remain active until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again.

What happens to your account after you cancel

Once you cancel, you lose access to Paramount Plus content on the date your billing period ends. Any downloads you made to your device will no longer play. Your watchlist and viewing history are deleted, though Paramount Plus may store some data for a limited time in case you resubscribe.

If you resubscribe later, you will start with a fresh account. Your old watchlist will not be restored. You can resubscribe at any time by logging back in or signing up again.

Cancelling before your free trial ends

If you are on a free trial and want to cancel before it ends, you can do so when ready through your account settings. You will not be charged, and your access will end on the last day of your trial period. Paramount Plus will not charge you if you cancel during the trial.

Some free trials are offered through third-party services like Apple or Amazon. If that is where you signed up, cancel through that service instead. Check your confirmation email to see where you created your account.

If you cannot find the cancel button

If the cancel option is not visible in your account settings, you may be on a promotional plan or a plan bundled with another service. Check your confirmation email or billing statement to see how you subscribed. If you signed up through a cable provider, phone company, or streaming bundle, you will need to contact that provider to cancel Paramount Plus.

You can also contact Paramount Plus customer support through the website if you are stuck. Go to paramountplus.com, scroll to the bottom, and look for "Help" or "Contact Us". They can tell you where to cancel based on your account type.

Avoiding accidental resubscription

After you cancel, do not click "Start Free Trial" or any offer to resubscribe unless you intend to. Promotional offers that appear after cancellation will start a new subscription when ready. If you accidentally resubscribe, you can cancel again through the same method.

If you were charged after cancelling, check your confirmation email for the exact cancellation date. If the charge came after that date, contact your payment method (credit card, Apple, Amazon, etc.) to dispute it. Paramount Plus customer support can also help you understand unexpected charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing period?

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged again after that date.

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause feature. You must cancel if you do not want to be charged. You can resubscribe at any time.

What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

Contact your cable or phone provider directly to remove Paramount Plus from your bill. They handle the cancellation, not Paramount Plus. Check your bill or provider's website to find the customer service number.

Do I lose my account permanently if I cancel?

No. Your account remains tied to your email address. If you resubscribe later, you can log back in with the same email and password. Your old watchlist will not return, but your account exists.

How long does it take for cancellation to take effect?

Cancellation takes effect when ready after you confirm it, but your access continues until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after you cancel.
