How to cancel if you subscribed through a third-party service

Through Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On a Mac, open System Settings, click your name, select "Media & Purchases," then "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and click "Edit."

Through Roku: On your Roku device, go to "Home," select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and select "Cancel."

What happens after you cancel

You keep your access to Paramount Plus until the end of your current billing period. If your next billing date is in three weeks, you can watch for those three weeks without being charged again. After that date passes, your account will no longer work, and you will see a message asking you to resubscribe.

Your viewing history, watchlist, and profile settings are saved for 10 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that window, you will see your saved lists and recommendations again. After 10 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data.

If you cannot find the cancel button

Some older versions of the Paramount Plus app do not show the cancellation option clearly. If you cannot find it, try cancelling through the website instead of the app—the website version is usually more straightforward. Log in at paramountplus.com, go to your account settings, and look for "Subscription" or "Billing."

If you subscribed through a cable or satellite provider (like Comcast, DirecTV, or Dish), you cannot cancel Paramount Plus through the Paramount Plus website or app. You must contact your cable provider directly and ask them to remove Paramount Plus from your account. Call the customer service number on your bill or log into your provider's account online.

Resubscribing after cancellation

You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time after cancellation. There is no waiting period, no penalty, and no difference in price. straightforward log back into your account or create a new one and choose your plan. If you resubscribe within 10 months of cancellation, your old watchlist and settings will still be there.

Paramount Plus sometimes offers discounts to returning subscribers a few weeks after you cancel—you may see an email offering a reduced rate for the first month or two. You do not have to wait for this offer, but if you do not plan to watch when ready, it can be worth checking your email before you resubscribe.
