Cancel Paramount Plus Through Your Amazon Account, Not Paramount

When you subscribe to Paramount Plus through Amazon Prime Video Channels, you cancel it in your Amazon account settings, not on the Paramount Plus website or app. Amazon handles the billing and subscription management, so Paramount Plus has no record of your subscription to cancel. Going to Paramount Plus directly will not stop the charges — you must log into Amazon and remove the channel from your account.

The cancellation takes effect when ready, and you lose access to Paramount Plus right away. You will not be refunded for the current billing period, but you will not be charged again. If you subscribed mid-month, your access ends on that same day, not at the end of the month.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel Paramount Plus through Amazon Prime Video Channels in your Amazon account settings, not through Paramount Plus itself.
  • Access ends when ready after cancellation, and you will not receive a refund for the current billing period.
  • You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus through Amazon at any time without losing your Paramount Plus profile or watchlist.
  • If you want to keep your Amazon Prime membership but remove only Paramount Plus, you cancel just that channel, not your entire Prime account.
  • Charges stop right away after cancellation, even if your billing date has not arrived yet.

Steps to Cancel on a Computer or Tablet

Open a web browser and go to amazon.com. Sign in with the same Amazon account you used to subscribe to Paramount Plus. Hover over your account name in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.

Look for "Prime Video" or "Your Prime Video Channels" and click it. You will see a list of all the channels you subscribe to through Prime Video. Find Paramount Plus in that list and click "Cancel Channel" or the X button next to it. Amazon will ask you to confirm the cancellation — click "Yes, cancel channel" or the equivalent button. The page will confirm that your subscription has ended.

Steps to Cancel on the Amazon App

Open the Amazon app on your phone or tablet and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. Tap "Account" and then scroll down to find "Prime Video Settings" or "Your Channels."

Tap "Manage Your Prime Video Channels" or a similar option. Find Paramount Plus and tap the menu icon next to it, then select "Cancel Channel." Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your subscription will end when ready, and you will see a confirmation message on the screen.

What Happens to Your Paramount Plus Account After Cancellation

Your Paramount Plus profile, watchlist, and viewing history remain saved even after you cancel through Amazon. If you resubscribe later — whether through Amazon or directly from Paramount Plus — your profile and preferences will still be there. You do not lose anything by canceling.

You will lose access to Paramount Plus content the moment the cancellation goes through. If you are in the middle of watching a show, you will not be able to resume it until you resubscribe. Downloaded episodes on the Paramount Plus app will also become unavailable.

Resubscribing to Paramount Plus After Cancellation

You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus through Amazon Prime Video Channels at any time by going back to your Prime Video Channels page and selecting Paramount Plus from the available channels. The process takes less than a minute. Your old profile and watchlist will be restored when ready.

Alternatively, you can subscribe to Paramount Plus directly from Paramount's website instead of through Amazon. This is a separate subscription and will not appear in your Amazon Prime Video Channels list. Direct subscriptions are billed by Paramount, not Amazon, so you would cancel them through Paramount's account settings instead.

Troubleshooting If the Cancellation Does Not Go Through

If you see an error message or the cancellation button does not respond, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log back into Amazon and try again. If you are using the Amazon app, try closing it completely and reopening it before attempting to cancel.

If the channel still appears in your list after you cancel, wait a few minutes and refresh the page. Sometimes the system takes a moment to update. If it persists after an hour, contact Amazon Customer Service through your Amazon account. They can confirm the cancellation and remove the channel manually if needed. Do not contact Paramount Plus — they cannot cancel subscriptions made through Amazon.

Checking Your Amazon Billing After Cancellation

Log into your Amazon account and go to "Your Account" > "Payments" or "Billing." Look for your transaction history and search for Paramount Plus charges. After cancellation, no new Paramount Plus charges should appear on future billing statements. If you see a charge after the cancellation date, contact Amazon Customer Service when ready with the date you canceled and the date of the unexpected charge.

Keep in mind that if you canceled mid-month, you will not receive a refund for the days remaining in that billing period. The charge that appears for the month you canceled is the final charge, and nothing after that should be billed.
