Cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings

You can cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account on the Paramount Plus website or mobile app. Log in, go to your account settings, find the subscription section, and select the option to cancel. The process takes about two minutes and you will see a confirmation screen when ready after.

If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or Roku), this is the fastest way to end your subscription. You will keep access to your account until the end of your current billing cycle — Paramount Plus does not charge you again after you cancel, but you are not refunded for time already paid.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel through Paramount Plus's website or app by going to account settings and selecting the subscription cancellation option.
  • 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 Plus.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period after you cancel — you will not be charged again.
  • Keep your confirmation email as proof of cancellation in case billing questions come up later.

Cancel if you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, or another third-party service

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, Google Play, or another platform, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount Plus itself. Canceling on the Paramount Plus app or website will not stop the charges if your subscription is tied to another company's billing.

For Apple: Open the Apple TV app, go to Account, 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 choose Cancel. For Roku: Go to your Roku account settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and cancel from there. Each service has slightly different menu names, but the cancellation option is always in the subscription or account section.

What happens to your account after cancellation

After you cancel, you will lose access to Paramount Plus content when your current billing period ends. If you paid for a monthly subscription, you have access through the last day of that month. If you paid for an annual subscription, you have access through the anniversary date of when you signed up.

Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history are saved for 12 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that time, your saved information will still be there. After 12 months, Paramount Plus deletes your account data.

How to find your billing date if you are unsure

Log into your Paramount Plus account and go to Account Settings or Subscription Details. You will see your next billing date listed there. This is the date your subscription will end if you cancel today. If you subscribed through a third-party service, check that service's account page instead — Paramount Plus will not have your billing information if another company handles your payment.

Write down your billing date before you cancel so you know exactly when you will lose access. Some people cancel right after being charged so they have the full month or year of access before losing it.

Canceling a free trial before you are charged

If you are on a free trial, you must cancel before the trial period ends or you will be charged for a full subscription. The cancellation process is the same — go to your account settings and select cancel subscription. Paramount Plus will show you the exact date the trial ends and when you would be charged if you do not cancel.

Free trials typically last seven days, but the length varies depending on current promotions. Check your confirmation email from when you signed up to see your trial end date if you cannot find it in your account.

Reactivating your subscription later

You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time after cancellation. If you resubscribe within 12 months, your saved watchlist and viewing history will return. If more than 12 months have passed, you will start with a fresh account. Resubscribing is as straightforward as logging back in and selecting a plan to purchase, or going through the same third-party service you used before.

Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee or require you to wait a certain amount of time before you can come back. You can cancel and resubscribe as often as you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused time in your current billing period. You keep access until the end of that period, but you will not receive money back. If you want to avoid paying for another month, cancel right after you are charged so you have the full period of access.

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

Check the date of the charge. If it is dated before you canceled, it is for a billing period you already paid for and will not happen again. If the charge is dated after you canceled, contact Paramount Plus support with your cancellation confirmation email. Keep that confirmation as proof you canceled.

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, you must cancel and resubscribe later when you are ready to use it again.

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

No. Your watchlist and viewing history stay saved for 12 months after you cancel. If you resubscribe within that time, everything will be there. After 12 months, Paramount Plus deletes the data permanently.

How do I cancel if I forgot my password?

Use the "Forgot Password" link on the Paramount Plus login page to reset it. You will receive an email with a reset link. After you reset your password, log in and follow the normal cancellation steps. If you cannot access the email address on your account, contact Paramount Plus support for help.
