Cancel Paramount+ Through Your Account Settings

To stop your Paramount+ subscription, log into your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to your account settings, and select the option to cancel or manage your subscription. The exact wording and location depend on whether you subscribed directly through Paramount+ or through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider — each route has a different cancellation process.

If you subscribed directly through Paramount+, you will find the cancellation option under "Account" or "Subscription" in your settings menu. Click the button to cancel, and the system will ask you to confirm. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready. You will receive a confirmation email with your final billing date.

Do not wait until the day before your next charge to cancel — the system processes cancellations during business hours, and a cancellation submitted late in the day may not go through before your next billing date. Cancel at least two business days before your renewal date to be safe.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancellation through Paramount+ directly happens in your account settings under "Subscription" or "Account," and your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service's app or website, not through Paramount+.
  • Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will receive a confirmation email showing your final access date.
  • Cancel at least two business days before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another month.
  • If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can sign back in with the same email and payment method without losing your watchlist or viewing history.

Cancel a Paramount+ Subscription Through a Third-Party Service

If you signed up for Paramount+ through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or your cable provider, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount+ itself. Canceling only on the Paramount+ website will not stop the charges from your third-party service.

For Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open the Settings app, tap your name, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount+, and tap "Cancel Subscription." For Amazon Prime Video: Go to "Your Account" in the Prime Video app or website, select "Manage Your Prime Video Subscription," and choose "Cancel Your Subscription." For Google Play: Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," find Paramount+, and tap "Cancel subscription."

For Roku: Go to "My Account" in the Roku app or website, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount+, and choose "Cancel." For cable providers like Comcast, Charter, or Verizon: Log into your provider's account online or call their customer service number — the cancellation process varies by provider, and some require a phone call.

What Happens After You Cancel

After you cancel, your Paramount+ account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. You can continue watching shows and movies until that date. On your final day of access, you will lose the ability to stream anything on Paramount+, and the app will prompt you to resubscribe if you try to open it.

Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings are saved for 10 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that window using the same email address and password, everything will be there. After 10 months, Paramount+ deletes your account data permanently.

You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle, even if you cancel on the first day of your subscription period. Paramount+ does not offer prorated refunds. If you were charged after requesting cancellation, contact Paramount+ customer service with your confirmation email and billing date to request a review.

Canceling a Free Trial or Promotional Offer

If you are on a free trial or a promotional rate (such as a discounted first month), you must cancel before the trial or promotional period ends to avoid being charged the full price. The cancellation process is the same as a regular subscription — go to your account settings and select cancel.

Many readers assume they can cancel a free trial at any time and keep access through the end of the trial period. That is not how Paramount+ works. Once you cancel a free trial, your access stops when ready, not at the end of the trial. If you want to use the full trial period, wait to cancel until the last day.

If you accidentally canceled a free trial early and were charged, contact Paramount+ customer service with your confirmation email. They may reverse a single charge if the request is made within a few days of the charge.

Troubleshooting a Cancellation That Did Not Go Through

If you canceled but were still charged, the most common reason is that the cancellation request did not process before your billing date. Check your confirmation email — if you do not have one, the cancellation may not have been submitted. Log back into your account and check whether your subscription status still shows as active.

If your account still shows an active subscription after you attempted to cancel, try canceling again. If the cancellation button is missing or grayed out, you may have subscribed through a third-party service and need to cancel there instead. Double-check your email receipt from when you first subscribed — it will say whether the charge came from Paramount+, Apple, Amazon, or another service.

If you canceled through the correct service but were still charged, contact Paramount+ customer service with your confirmation email and the date you canceled. You can reach them through the "Help" section in your account settings. Have your billing statement ready so you can show them the charge date and the cancellation date.

Pausing Your Subscription Instead of Canceling

Paramount+ does not offer a pause or suspend option. You can either keep your subscription active or cancel it — there is no middle ground. If you want to stop paying temporarily but keep your account data, canceling and resubscribing later is your only option.

When you resubscribe within 10 months of cancellation, your watchlist and viewing history will still be there. You will be charged the current subscription rate, which may be different from what you paid before. If you are looking for a lower rate, check whether Paramount+ is running a promotional offer before you resubscribe.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Paramount+ does not offer refunds or prorated credits for partial months. Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, but you will not receive money back for the unused portion. Cancel whenever you want — your access will not end early.

Can I cancel over the phone or through email?

Paramount+ requires cancellations to be submitted through your account settings on the website or app. You cannot cancel by phone or email. If you have trouble accessing your account, contact Paramount+ customer service through the "Help" section in your account settings, and they can walk you through the cancellation process.

What if I subscribed through my cable provider?

Contact your cable provider directly to cancel Paramount+. Canceling on the Paramount+ website will not stop the charges from your provider. Your provider's customer service number is on your bill or their website.

Can I resubscribe to Paramount+ after I cancel?

Yes. You can resubscribe at any time using the same email address and password. Your watchlist and viewing history will be restored if you resubscribe within 10 months of cancellation. After 10 months, that data is deleted permanently.

Why am I still being charged after I canceled?

The most common reason is that your cancellation did not process before your billing date. Check your confirmation email to verify the cancellation went through. If you do not have a confirmation email, log back in and check whether your subscription still shows as active. If it does, try canceling again. If you were charged after a confirmed cancellation, contact Paramount+ customer service with your confirmation email and billing statement.
