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, and select the option to manage your subscription. The exact wording and location varies slightly between the web version and the mobile app, but both will show you a "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership" button. Click it, and Paramount+ will walk you through a brief cancellation flow—sometimes offering a discount to stay, sometimes asking why you're leaving. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

Your access ends on the date your current billing cycle closes, not when ready. If you paid for a monthly subscription on the 15th, and you cancel on the 20th, you keep access through the end of that month. If you paid for an annual plan, you keep access through the end of that year. Paramount+ will send you a confirmation email with your cancellation date.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through your Paramount+ account settings on the website or app by finding the subscription management section and selecting "Cancel Subscription."
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period—monthly or annual—even after you cancel.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount+ directly.
  • Paramount+ will send a confirmation email with your final access date, and you can reactivate your subscription later without penalty.

Canceling a subscription you bought through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play

If you signed up for Paramount+ through the Apple App Store, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Google Play, or another third-party platform, you cannot cancel through Paramount+ itself. Instead, you cancel through the platform where you made the purchase.

For Apple: Open the Settings app, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap "Cancel Subscription." For Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to your Prime Video account, select Manage Your Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose to cancel. For Google Play: Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, tap Paramount+, and select "Cancel Subscription." The same end-of-billing-period rule applies—you keep access through the end of your current cycle.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Once your billing period ends, you lose access to all Paramount+ content. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings are saved for 12 months. If you reactivate your subscription within that window, your account will be exactly as you left it. After 12 months of inactivity, Paramount+ may delete your account data.

You can cancel and reactivate as many times as you want—there is no penalty or waiting period. Some readers cancel during months when they have finished watching what they want, then reactivate later. Paramount+ does not charge you again until you manually restart your subscription.

Canceling before your free trial ends

If you signed up for a free trial, you can cancel anytime during the trial period and your access will end on the last day of the trial. You will not be charged. The cancellation process is the same: go to account settings and select the cancel option. Paramount+ will confirm the date your trial ends and your access stops.

If you forget to cancel before the trial ends, your payment method will be charged for the first billing cycle. You can still cancel when ready after being charged, and depending on your payment method and Paramount+'s refund policy, you may be able to request a refund for that first charge through your bank or card issuer.

Troubleshooting: You cannot find the cancel button

If you log in and do not see a "Cancel Subscription" option, check that you are in the right account. Some readers have multiple Paramount+ accounts or are logged into a shared family account. Make sure you are signed in as the account owner—only the person who created the subscription can cancel it.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and are looking for a cancel button on the Paramount+ website itself, that is why you cannot find it. You must cancel through the platform where you bought it. If you are unsure which platform you used, check your email for the original confirmation receipt—it will say "Apple," "Amazon," "Google," or "Paramount+" depending on where the charge came from.

If you are still stuck, Paramount+ customer support can help you locate your account or cancel on your behalf. You can reach them through the help section of the Paramount+ website or app.

Reactivating your subscription later

You can restart your Paramount+ subscription at any time by logging back into your account and selecting the option to reactivate, or by signing up again as a new subscriber. If you reactivate within 12 months of canceling, your old account and all your saved preferences will be restored. If more than 12 months have passed, you will be treated as a new subscriber, though you can still use the same email address.

Paramount+ sometimes offers discounts or promotional rates to returning subscribers. When you go to reactivate, the site may show you a special offer. You are not required to take it—you can choose to pay the regular monthly or annual rate instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Paramount+ charges for the full billing cycle upfront, and canceling mid-cycle does not trigger a refund. You keep access through the end of the month or year you paid for. If you were charged in error or believe you were overcharged, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge.

Can someone else cancel my Paramount+ account?

Only the account owner can cancel the subscription. If you share your account with family members, only the person who created it and owns the payment method can cancel it. If you want to remove someone's access without canceling the whole account, Paramount+ allows you to manage profiles and remove devices.

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

Check your confirmation email to see when your access actually ends—you may still be in a paid period. If the cancellation date has passed and you are still being charged, contact Paramount+ support or your bank. Your bank can also reverse charges if Paramount+ continues billing after your cancellation date.

Do I lose my watchlist and saved shows when I cancel?

No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings stay saved for 12 months after cancellation. If you reactivate within that time, everything will be there. After 12 months, Paramount+ may delete the data.

Can I cancel Paramount+ if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

If Paramount+ came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, you cannot cancel it separately through Paramount+. You must contact your provider directly to remove it from your account. They will tell you when the removal takes effect and whether it affects your bill.
