Cancel Paramount Plus directly through the app or your Paramount account
You can cancel Paramount Plus on Roku in two ways: through the Paramount Plus app itself, or through your Paramount account online. The method you use depends on how you set up the subscription — if you signed up through Roku's payment system, you may need to cancel through Roku instead. Most people find it faster to cancel through the Paramount Plus app or website because the process takes fewer steps and you get when ready confirmation.
If you subscribed through Roku's channel store, cancellation through the app may not work, and you will need to go through Roku's account settings instead. Check your email for the original confirmation — it will say whether Paramount billed you directly or through Roku.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through the Paramount Plus app or Paramount.com is the fastest route for most subscribers and takes effect when ready.
- If you subscribed through Roku's channel store, you must cancel through Roku's account settings, not through the Paramount app.
- Your confirmation email shows which payment method Paramount used — check it before you start the cancellation process.
- You keep access to Paramount Plus until the end of your current billing period, even after you cancel.
Cancel through the Paramount Plus app on your Roku device
Open the Paramount Plus app on your Roku and go to your account settings. Select your profile icon or account menu — the exact location varies depending on your Roku model and the app version, but it is usually in the top right or top left corner of the screen. Look for a settings or account option.
Once you are in account settings, look for a subscription or billing section. Select the option to manage your subscription or view your plan. You should see your current subscription status and a button or link to cancel. Select it, and the app will ask you to confirm the cancellation. After you confirm, you will receive an on-screen message saying the cancellation is complete.
Write down the date shown on the confirmation screen — that is your last day of access. You will still be able to watch Paramount Plus until midnight on that date, even though you have cancelled.
Cancel through Paramount.com if the app method does not work
Go to Paramount.com on any web browser and sign in with the same email and password you use on your Roku. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account or Settings.
Look for a section called Subscription, Billing, or Plan. Click on it and you should see your current subscription listed. Next to it, you will see an option to cancel, manage, or change your plan. Click cancel and follow the prompts to confirm. Paramount will send a confirmation email to the address on your account within a few minutes.
Cancel through Roku if you subscribed via the Roku channel store
If your confirmation email says Roku charged you instead of Paramount, you must cancel through Roku's system. On your Roku device, go to Home and select Settings. Navigate to Accounts and then Subscriptions. You should see Paramount Plus listed along with any other channel subscriptions.
Select Paramount Plus and choose the option to cancel or unsubscribe. Roku will ask you to confirm. After you do, Roku will show you the date your access ends. You will receive a confirmation email from Roku, not from Paramount.
If you cannot find the subscription in Roku's settings, you may have set it up through a different device or account. Check any other Roku devices on your network, or sign into your Roku account at roku.com and look for subscriptions there.
What happens after you cancel
Your Paramount Plus access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 30th, you keep watching until the 30th at midnight. After that date, the app will no longer let you sign in, and you will see a message asking you to resubscribe.
Paramount does not refund the portion of your subscription you have not used. If you cancel mid-cycle, you lose access to the remaining days. Your watch history and saved shows remain tied to your account, so if you resubscribe later using the same email, those will still be there.
Reactivate your subscription if you change your mind
You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time through the same method you used to cancel. If you cancelled through the app, open it again and select the option to subscribe. If you cancelled through Roku, go back to Roku's subscriptions menu and add Paramount Plus again. You will be charged when ready for a new billing cycle.
Paramount does not charge a reactivation fee or require you to wait before you can subscribe again. You can cancel and restart as many times as you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I lose access when ready after I cancel?
No. You keep full access until the end of your current billing period. The cancellation stops Paramount from charging you next month, but does not cut off your viewing right away. Check your confirmation for the exact end date.
Can I get a refund for the days I do not use after cancelling?
Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Once you cancel, you have access only through the end of your current billing cycle. If you want to avoid losing money, cancel on the day before your next billing date.
What if I cannot find the cancel button in the app?
Try cancelling through Paramount.com instead — the website version is usually clearer. If you subscribed through Roku's channel store, the Paramount app may not show a cancel option at all. In that case, you must cancel through Roku's account settings, not through Paramount.
Will I lose my watch history and saved shows if I cancel?
No. Your account and everything on it stay saved. If you resubscribe later using the same email address, your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings will be there waiting for you.
How do I know if I subscribed through Roku or directly through Paramount?
Check the confirmation email you received when you first subscribed. If it came from Paramount, you subscribed directly. If it came from Roku, you subscribed through Roku's channel store. You can also check your credit card or bank statement to see whether Paramount or Roku charged you.
