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. From there, you can choose to cancel when ready or at the end of your current billing cycle. The process takes about two minutes and requires no phone call or chat with customer service.

If you signed up through Paramount+ directly (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or Roku), this is the fastest way to end your subscription. You will see your cancellation confirmed on screen, and Paramount+ will send a confirmation email to the address on your account.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Paramount+ account, go to Account Settings, and select the cancellation option—no phone call required.
  • You can cancel when ready and lose access right away, or cancel at the end of your current billing period and keep watching until then.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount+ itself.
  • After cancellation, Paramount+ will email you a confirmation; keep this for your records in case you are charged again by mistake.
  • You can reactivate your subscription at any time by logging back in and selecting a plan, even if you cancelled months earlier.

Cancel through a third-party service if that's where you subscribed

If you signed up for Paramount+ as an add-on through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or another third-party platform, you cannot cancel through Paramount+ itself. Instead, you must cancel through the service where you originally subscribed.

For Apple TV Channels, open the Apple TV app, go to Account, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video, go to Your Account, select Prime Video Settings, then Subscriptions and Rentals, find Paramount+, and select Cancel Subscription. For Roku, go to your account settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose to cancel. Each service handles the cancellation slightly differently, but all of them let you cancel without contacting support.

Choose when your cancellation takes effect

When you cancel, Paramount+ gives you two options: cancel when ready or cancel at the end of your billing cycle. If you choose to cancel when ready, you lose access to Paramount+ right away and will not be charged again. If you choose to cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep your access until your next payment date, then the subscription ends automatically.

Most people choose to cancel at the end of the billing cycle so they can finish watching what they started. However, if you are cancelling because you do not want to be charged again, cancelling when ready is the safer choice. Either way, you will not be charged a cancellation fee—Paramount+ does not charge early termination fees.

What happens after you cancel

Once your cancellation is complete, you lose access to all Paramount+ content. Any shows you were watching mid-season will no longer be available, and you cannot read episodes to watch offline. Your watchlist and viewing history are deleted after a certain period, though Paramount+ does not publicly state exactly how long they keep this data.

If you cancel at the end of your billing cycle rather than when ready, you will keep your access until that date arrives. After that date passes, trying to open the Paramount+ app will prompt you to choose a new plan. You do not need to do anything else—the subscription straightforward stops working.

Reactivate your subscription anytime

If you change your mind after cancelling, you can restart your Paramount+ subscription at any time by logging back into your account and selecting a plan. You will not lose your account or any saved preferences, even if months have passed since you cancelled. Paramount+ treats reactivation the same as a new subscription, so you may see promotional pricing if you return after being away.

Your payment method on file will be used to restart the subscription unless you update it first. If your old payment method is no longer valid, Paramount+ will ask you to add a new one before reactivating.

Troubleshoot if you cannot find the cancel option

If you are logged into your Paramount+ account but cannot find the cancellation option, make sure you are in Account Settings, not just your profile. On the website, look for "Account" or "Manage Account" in the top right corner. In the app, tap your profile icon and select "Account Settings" or "Subscription."

If the cancel button still does not appear, try logging out and logging back in, or try cancelling on a different device or browser. If you subscribed through a third-party service and are looking for the cancel option in Paramount+ itself, that is why you cannot find it—you must cancel through the original service instead. If you are still stuck after checking all of these, Paramount+ customer service can walk you through the process, though it will take longer than cancelling yourself.

Confirm you were not charged after cancellation

After you cancel, check your bank or credit card statement about a week later to make sure Paramount+ did not charge you again. Most cancellations process correctly, but occasional billing errors happen. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card company first—they can often reverse the charge when ready while you sort out the issue with Paramount+.

Keep the cancellation confirmation email Paramount+ sends you. If you need to dispute a charge, this email proves when you cancelled and is useful to show your bank or credit card company. If Paramount+ charged you by mistake, they will usually refund the charge once you show them the confirmation email and your bank statement.

Yes. You can cancel entirely through your account settings on the website or app. Paramount+ does not require you to call or chat with anyone to cancel, and the process takes about two minutes.

Will I lose access when ready if I cancel at the end of my billing cycle?

No. If you choose to cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep full access to Paramount+ until that date arrives. After your billing cycle ends, the subscription stops and you lose access.

What if I subscribed through Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV?

You must cancel through Amazon or Apple, not through Paramount+ itself. Log into the service where you subscribed, find Paramount+ in your subscriptions, and select the option to cancel there.

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

Paramount+ does not refund unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel when ready, you lose access right away but are not charged again. If you cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep access until that date and are not charged again after.

What if I see a charge after I cancelled?

Contact your bank or credit card company first—they can reverse the charge while you investigate. Keep your cancellation confirmation email and show it to your bank as proof of when you cancelled. If Paramount+ charged you by mistake, they will refund it once you provide evidence.
