Cancel Paramount Plus directly through your Roku device

You can cancel Paramount Plus on Roku without leaving your TV. Go to the Paramount Plus app on your Roku home screen, select it, and press the Options button (the star icon on most Roku remotes). Choose "Remove channel" or "Unsubscribe," depending on your Roku model and app version. The system will ask you to confirm; select yes. Your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until then.

This method works only if you signed up for Paramount Plus directly through the app. If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or The Roku Channel itself, cancelling through Roku will not work. You will need to cancel through the service where you actually paid.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancelling through the Paramount Plus app on Roku ends your subscription at the end of your current billing period, not when ready.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or The Roku Channel, you must cancel through that service, not through the Paramount Plus app.
  • You can also cancel by logging into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser and removing your subscription from account settings.
  • Check your email for a confirmation message after cancelling to verify the request went through.

Cancel through the Paramount Plus website if the app method does not work

If you cannot find the unsubscribe option in the app, or if your Roku model does not support it, log into Paramount Plus on a computer or phone browser. Go to your account settings (usually found by clicking your profile icon in the top right), then select "Subscription" or "Billing." Look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button and follow the prompts.

This route is also faster if you want to cancel when ready rather than wait until your billing date. Web cancellation typically takes effect within 24 hours, whereas app cancellation waits until your next scheduled charge date. You will still retain access through the end of your paid period.

Cancelling through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through The Roku Channel, Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Google Play, you subscribed through a middleman service. Paramount Plus does not handle the cancellation — the service you paid does.

Apple: Open Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Go to your name, then Subscriptions. Find Paramount Plus and tap "Cancel Subscription."

Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video account on a web browser. Select "Your Subscriptions" under Account, find Paramount Plus, and choose "Cancel Subscription."

Google Play: Open Google Play on your Android phone. Tap your profile icon, then Subscriptions. Select Paramount Plus and tap "Cancel Subscription."

The Roku Channel: On your Roku device, go to The Roku Channel app. Select your profile, then Subscriptions. Find Paramount Plus and select "Cancel."

What happens after you cancel

Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your bill renews on the 25th, you can watch until the 25th. After that date, you lose access to all Paramount Plus content unless you resubscribe.

Paramount Plus will send you a confirmation email after you cancel. Check your inbox (and spam folder) to make sure the cancellation went through. If you do not receive one within a few hours, try cancelling again or contact Paramount Plus support through their website.

Resubscribing after cancellation

If you change your mind, you can resubscribe at any time through the same method you used to cancel. Your viewing history and watchlist usually remain saved for 10 months after cancellation, so you can pick up where you left off.

Promotional pricing may or may not be available when you return — this depends on current offers and your account history. Some users see discounted rates after a cancellation period, while others see standard pricing.

Troubleshooting if you cannot find the cancel option

Some older Roku models or outdated app versions do not display the unsubscribe button in the app itself. If you cannot find it, use the web browser method instead: log into your Paramount Plus account on a computer, go to account settings, and cancel from there.

If you subscribed through a third-party service and the Paramount Plus app shows no cancel option, that is normal — you are not subscribed directly to Paramount Plus, so the app has nothing to cancel. Go to the service where you actually paid (Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku Channel) and cancel there instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access when ready after cancelling?

No. You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle. If your next charge date is three weeks away, you can watch for three more weeks after you cancel.

Can I cancel without losing my watchlist and history?

Yes. Paramount Plus saves your watchlist and viewing history for about 10 months after cancellation. When you resubscribe, your account looks the same as when you left.

What if I subscribed through Roku Channel but want to cancel through Paramount Plus?

You cannot. You must cancel through The Roku Channel app or website because that is where your payment method is stored. Paramount Plus does not process the cancellation for subscriptions sold through third-party services.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. You pay for the full month or year regardless of when you cancel within that period.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

Check your email for a confirmation message from Paramount Plus. It usually arrives within a few hours. If you do not see one, log back into your account and check your subscription status, or try cancelling again.
