Cancel your Paramount Plus trial through your account settings before the trial period ends

Your Paramount Plus trial runs for a set number of days—usually 7 days for new accounts, though this varies by promotion. If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged when it ends. You cancel through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, not by calling or emailing support. The cancellation takes effect when ready, though you can usually keep watching until your trial period officially expires.

The key is timing: you must cancel before the final day of your trial. Paramount Plus charges your payment method on the day after your trial ends, so waiting until that last day risks being billed. Once you're charged, you'll need to contact support to request a refund—which is possible but takes longer than straightforward canceling ahead of time.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through your Paramount Plus account settings on the website or mobile app, not by phone or email.
  • You must cancel before your trial period ends to avoid being charged; Paramount Plus bills on the day after your trial expires.
  • After cancellation, you can usually continue watching until your trial officially ends.
  • If you're already charged after the trial ends, contact Paramount Plus support to request a refund within a reasonable timeframe.

How to cancel on the Paramount Plus website

Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu. On the Account page, find the section labeled Subscription or Plan Details—this shows your current plan and trial status.

Look for a button that says Cancel Subscription, Manage Subscription, or Change Plan. Click it. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay—you can ignore this and proceed. After you confirm, you'll see a message saying your subscription is canceled. Your trial access continues until the trial period officially ends.

How to cancel on the Paramount Plus mobile app

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet. Tap your profile icon, usually in the bottom right corner or top left, depending on your device. Select Account Settings or Settings. Look for Subscription, Plan, or Billing.

Tap Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. The app will walk you through a confirmation screen. After you confirm, you'll receive an on-screen message and usually an email confirming the cancellation. You can continue using your trial until it expires.

What happens after you cancel

Once you cancel, Paramount Plus stops your subscription from renewing. You won't be charged. Your account remains active for the remainder of your trial period—you can watch shows and movies as usual. When your trial officially ends, your access stops and you'll need to sign up again if you want to return.

You may receive emails from Paramount Plus offering you a discount or a new trial period. These are marketing messages; you don't need to respond to them. If you decide to resubscribe later, you can sign up through the website or app just as you did the first time.

If you were charged after your trial ended

If your trial ended and you were charged before you could cancel, contact Paramount Plus support. Go to the Paramount Plus website, scroll to the bottom, and click Help or Contact Us. Select Billing as your issue category. You can chat with support, email, or call depending on what options are available in your region.

Explain that you were charged after your trial period and that you intended to cancel. Support can often issue a refund if you contact them within a few days of the charge. Have your account email and the charge date ready. Refunds typically appear in your account within 3 to 5 business days, depending on your bank.

Canceling a trial you started through another service

If you started your Paramount Plus trial through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another platform's billing system, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus directly. Canceling on the Paramount Plus website won't stop the charge.

For Apple: go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Paramount Plus > Cancel Subscription. For Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, tap Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video: go to Your Account > Memberships and Subscriptions > Manage Your Paramount Plus Subscription > Cancel. Each platform has slightly different steps, but all are found in your account or subscription settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel my trial and still watch until it ends?

Yes. After you cancel, Paramount Plus keeps your account active through the end of your trial period. You can watch everything you could before. Access stops only after your trial officially expires.

What if I can't find the cancel button in my account settings?

Make sure you're logged in and viewing your full account page, not just your profile. On the website, click your profile icon and select Account, not Settings. On the app, look for Account Settings or Subscription under your profile menu. If you still can't find it, contact Paramount Plus support—they can walk you through it or cancel for you.

Will I lose my watchlist or saved shows if I cancel?

Your watchlist and viewing history are tied to your account. If you resubscribe later using the same email address, your watchlist will be there. However, if you delete your account entirely, that information is lost. Canceling a subscription is not the same as deleting your account.

Can I get a refund if I was charged after canceling?

Yes, contact Paramount Plus support within a few days of the charge. Explain that you canceled before your trial ended and were charged anyway. Support can usually issue a refund. Have your account email and the charge date ready.

What if my trial was free through a promotion or bundle?

If you received a free trial as part of a promotion or bundled with another service, canceling stops the trial from converting to a paid subscription. The cancellation process is the same—go to your account settings and select Cancel Subscription. You won't be charged anything.
