Cancel Paramount+ Through Your Account Settings

To cancel Paramount+, log into your account on the Paramount+ website or app, go to your account settings, find the subscription section, and select the option to cancel. The process takes about two minutes. You will see a confirmation screen asking you to confirm the cancellation — this is the moment your subscription ends.

If you subscribed directly through Paramount+ (not through another service like Apple, Amazon, or Roku), your cancellation happens when ready in their system. You can still watch until the end of your current billing cycle, but you will not be charged again. If you subscribed through a third-party platform, you may need to cancel there instead — see the section below on that process.

Before you cancel, Paramount+ may show you a retention offer: a discount, free months, or a lower tier. You can accept this offer to keep your account, or decline and proceed with cancellation. Either choice is final at that screen.

Key Takeaways

  • Direct Paramount+ subscriptions cancel through your account settings on the website or app, and you keep access through the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another platform, you must cancel through that platform's billing settings, not through Paramount+ itself.
  • Cancellation takes effect when ready in Paramount's system, but you will not lose access until your paid period ends.
  • Paramount+ may offer you a discount or free trial to keep your account — you can accept or decline before the cancellation is final.
  • If you cancel by mistake or change your mind within a few days, you can reactivate your account through the same settings menu.

Cancel a Paramount+ Subscription Through a Third-Party Platform

If you signed up for Paramount+ through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku Channel, or another platform, you must cancel through that platform's billing settings, not through Paramount+ itself. Canceling only in the Paramount+ app will not stop the charges — the third-party platform controls the billing.

To cancel through a third-party platform, open that platform's app or website, go to your account or subscription settings, find Paramount+ in your active subscriptions, and select cancel or remove. The exact steps vary by platform. For example, on Apple devices, you go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Paramount+ > Cancel Subscription. On Amazon Prime Video, you go to Account > Your Subscriptions > Manage Your Paramount+ Subscription > Cancel Subscription.

After you cancel through the third-party platform, Paramount+ will stop charging you at your next billing date. You keep access until that date arrives. If you are unsure which platform you used to sign up, check your credit card or bank statement for the charge — it will show the name of the company that billed you.

What Happens After You Cancel

Once you cancel, your Paramount+ account enters a grace period that lasts until the end of your current billing cycle. During this time, you can still log in and watch everything you could before. You will not see ads telling you to resubscribe, and no new charges will appear on your card.

On the day after your billing cycle ends, your account will no longer let you watch. You will see a message saying your subscription has ended and offering you the option to resubscribe. At that point, your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings are saved in Paramount's system — if you resubscribe later, they will still be there.

If you cancel by mistake or want to come back, you can resubscribe at any time through the same method you used to sign up (directly through Paramount+ or through the third-party platform). There is no penalty for canceling and resubscribing later.

Cancel Paramount+ on a Streaming Device or Smart TV

If you subscribed through a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, or a smart TV, you can cancel through that device's app or through your account on the device manufacturer's website. The app method is usually faster.

On most devices, open the Paramount+ app, go to Settings or Account, select Subscription or Billing, and choose Cancel Subscription. On Roku, you can also cancel through the Roku Channel app if that is where you subscribed. On Apple TV, you cancel through the TV app's settings or through your Apple account on iCloud.com. On Fire Stick, you cancel through the Amazon Appstore or through your Amazon account online.

If you are not sure which device you used to sign up, check the email address associated with that device's account. Paramount+ will send you a cancellation confirmation email to that address, so you will have proof the cancellation went through.

Reactivate Your Paramount+ Account

If you canceled and want to come back, you can reactivate your account within a short window after cancellation. Log into Paramount+ with the same email and password you used before, and you will see an option to resubscribe. Your old watchlist and viewing history will still be there.

If you wait too long after your billing cycle ends, your account may be deactivated and you will need to create a new account to resubscribe. However, Paramount+ does not delete your profile data when ready — if you contact their support team with your original email, they may be able to restore your watchlist and history even after a longer gap.

Reactivating works the same way as the original subscription: you can pay directly through Paramount+ or through a third-party platform like Apple or Amazon. Choose whichever method is easiest for you.

Common Mistakes When Canceling Paramount+

The most common mistake is canceling only in the Paramount+ app when you subscribed through a third-party platform. This leaves the third-party subscription active and you keep getting charged. Always check your bank or credit card statement to see who is billing you, then cancel through that company.

Another mistake is expecting your access to end when ready after cancellation. Paramount+ lets you watch through the end of your paid period — this is not a glitch, it is how the service works. If you need access to end sooner, contact Paramount+ support and ask for a refund, though they do not always grant these requests.

Some people also cancel and then forget they did, so they are surprised when they cannot log in a month later. If you think you might want to come back, write down your cancellation date so you know when your access will end. You can also check your email for the cancellation confirmation Paramount+ sends you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?

Paramount+ does not refund partial months for cancellations. You keep access through the end of your current billing period, but you will not receive money back for the unused days. If you believe you have a special circumstance, you can contact Paramount+ support to ask, but refunds are not may provide.

Can I pause my Paramount+ subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount+ does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, canceling and resubscribing later is the only way.

What if I subscribed through a free trial and want to cancel before being charged?

Cancel through the same method you used to sign up before your trial ends. Paramount+ will send you a reminder email a few days before your trial period ends, but it is your responsibility to cancel if you do not want to be charged. Once the trial ends and you are charged, you can still cancel and keep access through the end of that first billing cycle.

Do I lose my watchlist and recommendations if I cancel?

Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings stay saved in Paramount's system after you cancel. If you resubscribe using the same email address, everything will be there. However, if you wait a very long time before resubscribing and your account is fully deactivated, you may need to contact support to restore your data.

How do I cancel if I forgot my password?

Go to the Paramount+ login page, click "Forgot Password," and follow the steps to reset it using your email address. Once you have access to your account again, you can cancel through your account settings. If you cannot access the email address you used to sign up, contact Paramount+ support with proof of identity.
