Cancel Paramount+ directly through your account settings

You can cancel Paramount+ yourself in minutes by logging into your account and going to your subscription settings. The exact steps depend on whether you signed up directly with Paramount or through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider — each route has a different cancellation page.

If you subscribed directly through Paramount's website or app, log in, go to your account settings, find the subscription or billing section, and select the option to cancel. Paramount will show you the cancellation date (usually the end of your current billing cycle) and ask if you want to keep or delete your profile data. You can cancel anytime, and you'll keep access until your paid period ends.

If you signed up through a third-party service, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount. Canceling on Paramount's site won't stop the charges if you subscribed via Apple, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or your cable company's app.

Key Takeaways

  • Direct Paramount+ subscribers cancel through account settings on the Paramount website or app, and access continues until the end of the current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or a cable provider, you must cancel through that service's app or website, not through Paramount.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready, so you won't lose access mid-month.
  • You can reactivate a canceled account later by logging back in and restarting your subscription without losing saved preferences.

Cancel if you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play

Third-party app stores handle the subscription, so you cancel there. On Apple devices, open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Amazon Prime Video, open the app, go to your account, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose Cancel. On Google Play, open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel.

The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You'll receive a confirmation email from the app store (not from Paramount), and your access will end on the date shown in that email.

Cancel if you subscribed through your cable or internet provider

Some cable and internet companies bundle Paramount+ with their service or offer it as an add-on. If Paramount+ appears on your cable bill, you'll need to contact your provider directly to remove it — Paramount's website cannot cancel a provider-bundled subscription.

Call your cable or internet company's customer service number (on your bill) and ask them to remove Paramount+ from your account. They'll confirm the cancellation date and let you know when the charge will stop. Some providers allow you to cancel online through their account portal, but calling is usually faster.

What happens after you cancel

You keep access to Paramount+ until the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid for a month on the 15th, you can watch until the 15th of the next month. If you have an annual plan, you keep access for the full year you paid for, even after canceling.

Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history stay saved for 10 months after cancellation. If you reactivate your subscription within that window, you'll find everything exactly as you left it. After 10 months, Paramount deletes the profile data.

Reactivate your subscription later

You can restart Paramount+ anytime by logging back into your account and selecting the option to reactivate. If you canceled within the last 10 months, your profile and watchlist will be there. You'll be charged starting the day you reactivate, and you can choose monthly or annual billing.

If you canceled through a third-party service and want to reactivate, you can either restart through that same service or sign up directly with Paramount instead. There's no penalty for switching between direct and third-party subscriptions.

Troubleshooting: charges after cancellation

If you're still being charged after canceling, the most common cause is that you canceled in the wrong place. Check where you originally signed up: if you subscribed through Apple or Amazon, canceling on Paramount's website won't stop the charges. Log into the app store or service you used and verify the subscription is actually canceled there.

If you canceled in the correct place and charges continue, contact the service's customer support. For direct Paramount+ subscriptions, use the help section on Paramount's website. For third-party subscriptions, contact Apple, Amazon, Google, or your cable company — they handle the billing, not Paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose access when ready after canceling?

No. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. If you're mid-month, you can watch until your next billing date. Annual subscribers keep access for the full year they paid for.

Can I cancel without calling customer service?

Yes. Direct Paramount+ subscribers can cancel entirely online through account settings. If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you cancel through that app's subscription menu. Only cable or internet provider bundles typically require a phone call.

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

No. Paramount+ does not refund unused portions of your subscription. You keep access through the end of the billing period you paid for, but you won't receive money back for days you don't use.

What if I forgot which service I subscribed through?

Check your credit card or bank statement for the charge. It will show either "Paramount" (direct subscription), "Apple," "Amazon," or your cable company's name. That's where you need to cancel. You can also log into Paramount.com and check your account settings — it will tell you how you're subscribed.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount+ does not offer a pause option. You either keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop charges temporarily, you'll need to cancel and reactivate later when you're ready to watch again.
