Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings
You can cancel Paramount Plus by logging into your account, going to your account settings, and selecting the option to cancel your subscription. The process takes about two minutes and stops your charges when ready—you keep access to the service until the end of your current billing period.
The exact steps depend on whether you subscribed through Paramount's website directly or through a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku. If you signed up on Paramount's own site, you cancel there. If you subscribed through another service, you cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellations made through Paramount's website take effect when ready, but you retain access through the end of your billing cycle.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount.
- You can pause your subscription for up to three months instead of canceling outright if you plan to return later.
- Refunds for partial months are not issued, but your service continues until your next billing date.
Cancel through Paramount's website
Log into your Paramount Plus account at paramountplus.com using your email and password. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the "Subscription" section and click "Manage Subscription." You will see your current plan and billing date. Click "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of this section. Paramount will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay—you can decline and proceed with the cancellation.
After you confirm, you will receive an email confirming the cancellation. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, and no further charges will appear on your payment method.
Cancel a subscription through Apple, Google Play, or Roku
If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac), open the App Store, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription." The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
For Google Play subscriptions, open the Google Play app on your Android device, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," tap Paramount Plus, and select "Cancel subscription." On a computer, visit play.google.com, sign in, click your profile icon, select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and click "Cancel subscription."
If you subscribed through Roku, go to your Roku account settings on the Roku device or at roku.com, navigate to "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and select "Cancel." You can also manage Roku subscriptions through the Roku mobile app.
Cancel a subscription through Amazon Prime Video Channels
Log into your Amazon account and go to "Your Account" in the top right corner. Select "Prime Video" from the menu, then click "Manage Your Prime Video" or "Settings and Privacy."
Look for "Channels" or "Subscriptions" and find Paramount Plus in the list. Click "Cancel Channel" or "Unsubscribe." Amazon will confirm the cancellation, and your access ends at the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again.
Pause your subscription instead of canceling
Paramount Plus allows you to pause your subscription for up to three months without canceling. This option is useful if you want to take a break but plan to return later—you will not be charged during the pause period, and your account information stays intact.
To pause, log into your account, go to "Account," select "Manage Subscription," and look for a "Pause Subscription" option. You can resume at any time before the three-month pause expires. If you do not resume before the pause ends, your subscription will automatically reactivate and you will be charged.
What happens after you cancel
Once you cancel, you lose access to Paramount Plus content at the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-cycle, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription—you straightforward keep access until your next billing date arrives.
If you change your mind, you can resubscribe at any time by logging back into your account or downloading the app and selecting a plan. Your watch history and saved content may be retained for a limited time, though Paramount does not may provide this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for partial months. You keep access to the service through the end of your current billing period, but you will not receive money back for the unused days.
Can I cancel over the phone?
Paramount Plus does not offer phone cancellation. You must cancel through your account settings online, through the mobile app, or through the third-party platform where you subscribed (Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku).
Will my watch history disappear after I cancel?
Paramount does not may provide how long watch history is retained after cancellation. If you resubscribe within a reasonable time, your history may still be there, but it is not promised. If you want to preserve your viewing record, take screenshots or notes before you cancel.
What if I subscribed through a bundle or promotional offer?
If Paramount Plus was part of a bundle (such as with Showtime or CBS All Access), canceling Paramount Plus removes only that service from your bundle. Your other subscriptions continue. If you subscribed through a promotional rate, canceling ends the promotion and you will be charged the regular price if you resubscribe later.
Can I cancel and resubscribe to get a promotional rate again?
Paramount Plus does not typically offer the same promotional rate twice to the same account. Resubscribing after cancellation usually results in the standard monthly or annual price, though occasional promotions may be available to returning subscribers.
