Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings
To cancel Paramount Plus, log into your account on the Paramount Plus website or app, go to your Account Settings, and select the option to manage your subscription. From there, you can choose to cancel when ready or at the end of your current billing cycle. The process takes about two minutes and requires no phone call or chat with customer service.
If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or Roku), you will see a "Cancel Subscription" button in your Account Settings under the Billing section. Click it, confirm your choice, and your subscription will end on the date shown—either right away or on your next billing date, depending on which option you select.
You will receive a confirmation email after cancellation. Keep this email in case you need proof that you cancelled, especially if you are charged again by mistake.
Key Takeaways
- Log into your Paramount Plus account, open Account Settings, and select Cancel Subscription from the Billing section.
- You can cancel when ready or wait until your current billing cycle ends—choose whichever option appears on your screen.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku, you must cancel through that service's app or website instead, not through Paramount Plus.
- Save your cancellation confirmation email in case Paramount Plus charges you after you cancel.
- Cancelling does not delete your account or your watch history—you can resubscribe later and pick up where you left off.
Cancel if you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku
If you signed up for Paramount Plus through another company's app or service, you must cancel through that company, not through Paramount Plus itself. Cancelling in your Paramount Plus account settings will not stop the charges.
Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video settings, select Manage Your Prime Video Subscription, and choose Cancel Your Subscription. Google Play (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. Roku: Go to your Roku account settings on the Roku website, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel.
Each service processes cancellations at different speeds. Apple and Google Play usually stop charging within one or two billing cycles. Amazon Prime Video and Roku may take longer. Check your account a few days after cancelling to confirm the subscription is gone.
What happens to your account after cancellation
When you cancel Paramount Plus, your access ends on the date shown in your cancellation confirmation. You will not be able to watch anything after that date. However, your account itself remains active—your profile, watch history, and saved shows stay in the system.
If you resubscribe later, you can log back in with the same email and password, and your watch list and viewing history will be there. You do not lose anything by cancelling. Paramount Plus does not delete inactive accounts after a set period, so you can come back months or years later without creating a new account.
Troubleshoot if you cannot find the cancel button
If you log into your account and do not see a Cancel Subscription option, check whether you are looking in the right place. Go to Account Settings (not just "Settings"), then look for a Billing or Subscription section. The button may be labeled "Cancel Subscription," "End Membership," or "Manage Subscription."
If the button still does not appear, you may have a promotional or free trial subscription. Free trials and some promotional offers cannot be cancelled through the account settings—they end automatically on the date they expire. Check your confirmation email or billing history to see when your trial or promotion ends.
If you subscribed through a third-party service and cannot find the cancel option there, contact that service's customer support. For example, if you subscribed through Apple, contact Apple Support, not Paramount Plus. Each company handles cancellations through its own system.
Stop charges if you were billed after cancelling
If Paramount Plus charged you after your cancellation date, contact Paramount Plus customer support with your cancellation confirmation email and the charge receipt. Explain that you cancelled on a specific date and were charged afterward. Most charges made after a confirmed cancellation can be reversed.
If you subscribed through a third party and were charged after cancelling there, contact that service instead. For example, if you cancelled through Apple but Apple charged you again, contact Apple Support. Do not contact Paramount Plus—they cannot reverse charges made by Apple, Amazon, or other platforms.
Keep records of all cancellation confirmations and billing statements. If a dispute takes time to resolve, having these documents makes it easier to prove you cancelled and should not have been charged.
Pause your subscription instead of cancelling
Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or hold feature. You cannot freeze your subscription and resume it later without cancelling. Your only options are to keep paying or to cancel.
If you want to stop watching for a few months but plan to come back, cancelling is the right choice. As mentioned above, your account and watch history will remain, and you can resubscribe whenever you want. There is no penalty for cancelling and coming back later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my watch history and saved shows if I cancel?
No. Your account, watch history, and saved shows stay in the system after you cancel. When you resubscribe, log in with the same email and password, and everything will be there. Paramount Plus does not delete inactive accounts.
Can I cancel in the middle of a billing cycle?
Yes. You can cancel when ready, and your access will end right away, or you can choose to cancel at the end of your current billing cycle so you can watch until then. Both options are available when you click Cancel Subscription. You will not be refunded for the current month if you cancel mid-cycle.
What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?
If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, you cannot cancel it through Paramount Plus. Contact your provider's customer service to remove Paramount Plus from your account. They will handle the cancellation on their end.
How long does it take for the cancellation to go through?
Cancellations are when ready. You will lose access on the date shown in your confirmation, either when ready or at the end of your billing cycle. If you cancelled through a third-party service like Apple or Amazon, it may take one or two billing cycles for the charges to stop.
Can I cancel without logging in online?
No. Paramount Plus requires you to cancel through your account settings on their website or app. There is no phone number to call or chat option for cancellations. If you cannot access your account, reset your password using your email address, then log in and cancel.
