Cancel Paramount Plus in three steps

To cancel Paramount Plus, sign into your account on the Paramount Plus website or app, go to Account Settings, select Billing, and choose Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. You will lose access at the end of your current billing cycle — not when ready — so you keep the service through the date you already paid for.

The process takes about two minutes. You do not need to contact customer support unless something goes wrong during those steps. Your cancellation is final once you confirm it; Paramount Plus will not send you a reminder or ask you to reconsider.

Key Takeaways

  • You cancel through Account Settings on the Paramount Plus website or mobile app, not by calling or emailing.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, even after you cancel.
  • If you cancel mid-cycle, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion of that month.
  • You can reactivate your account later by signing back in and choosing to resume your subscription.

Where to find the cancel button

On the Paramount Plus website, log in with your email and password. Click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Account from the dropdown menu. Choose Billing and Payments, then scroll down to find the Cancel Subscription button.

On the Paramount Plus mobile app (iOS or Android), tap your profile icon at the bottom right, go to Account Settings, select Billing and Payments, and tap Cancel Subscription. The steps are the same whether you use iPhone, iPad, or Android.

If you subscribed through a third-party service — Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or The Roku Channel — you must cancel through that service instead. Paramount Plus cannot process the cancellation for you. For example, if you subscribed through Apple, go to Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription.

What happens after you cancel

Your account remains active through the last day of your billing cycle. If you paid on the 15th of the month, you keep watching until the end of that month. After that date, you lose access to all Paramount Plus content, including any shows you were watching mid-season.

Paramount Plus does not offer refunds for the unused portion of your subscription. If you cancel on the 20th of a month but your billing date is the 30th, you forfeit those ten days of service. Plan your cancellation date around your billing cycle if you want to avoid wasting money.

Reactivating your account later

You can sign back into Paramount Plus at any time and resume your subscription. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings remain saved for up to ten months after cancellation. After ten months, Paramount Plus may delete your account data, though you can create a new account with the same email address.

When you reactivate, you pay the current subscription price, which may be different from what you paid before. Paramount Plus regularly changes its pricing and offer structure, so check the cost before you confirm.

Canceling a free trial

If you are still in a free trial period, canceling removes your access on the day the trial ends — you do not get extra time. Cancel as soon as you know you do not want to continue, because Paramount Plus will charge your payment method on the first day after the trial ends if you do not cancel beforehand.

You can cancel a free trial using the same steps as a paid subscription: go to Account Settings, select Billing and Payments, and choose Cancel Subscription. The confirmation screen will tell you the exact date your access ends.

If you subscribed through a bundle or third party

Canceling Paramount Plus through a bundle like Paramount Plus with Showtime or through a third-party platform works differently depending on where you subscribed. If you bundled Paramount Plus with Showtime directly through Paramount, go to Account Settings and cancel Paramount Plus only — this removes Paramount Plus but keeps Showtime active if you want it.

If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, or The Roku Channel, you must cancel through that platform's subscription settings, not through Paramount Plus itself. Paramount Plus has no access to those accounts. For Amazon Prime Video, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and choose Cancel Channel.

Troubleshooting cancellation problems

If the Cancel Subscription button does not appear or the page will not load, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then log back in. If you use the mobile app, try logging out completely, closing the app, and logging back in. Sometimes the account page takes a moment to load all options.

If you subscribed through a third-party service and cannot find the cancel option, contact that service's support team, not Paramount Plus. For example, contact Apple Support if you subscribed through the App Store, or Amazon Support if you subscribed through Prime Video. Paramount Plus customer support cannot cancel subscriptions that were purchased elsewhere.

If you have already canceled but still see charges on your credit card or bank statement, contact your bank or credit card company first to confirm the charge date. Sometimes a final charge appears a few days after cancellation. If the charge is from after your cancellation date, contact Paramount Plus support through the help section of your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. If your billing date is the 30th and you cancel on the 20th, you lose access on the 30th but do not receive money back for those ten days. Plan your cancellation around your billing cycle if you want to avoid this.

Will Paramount Plus let me cancel if I have an active dispute or complaint?

Yes. You can cancel at any time, regardless of whether you have contacted support about an issue. Cancellation and complaints are separate. If you have a billing problem, you can cancel and also ask for a refund through your bank or credit card company.

What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

If Paramount Plus came as part of a cable, satellite, or phone plan, you cannot cancel it through the Paramount Plus website. Contact your provider directly — Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, or whoever provides your service — and ask them to remove Paramount Plus from your account. They handle the cancellation, not Paramount Plus.

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

Your watchlist and viewing history stay saved for up to ten months after cancellation. If you reactivate within that time, everything is still there. After ten months, Paramount Plus may delete your account data, but you can create a new account with the same email address whenever you want to return.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, cancel now and reactivate later when you are ready to watch again.
