Cancel Paramount Plus in Three Steps
You can cancel your Paramount Plus subscription through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you will keep access until that date passes. If you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you may need to cancel through that platform instead of through Paramount Plus directly.
The process takes about two minutes and requires no phone call or chat with customer service. Once you cancel, Paramount Plus will send you a confirmation email. You can resubscribe at any time if you change your mind.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through the Paramount Plus website or app happens in your account settings under subscription or billing.
- Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, even after you cancel.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus.
- Paramount Plus will email you a cancellation confirmation, and you can resubscribe later without penalty.
Cancel Through 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 menu. Look for a section labeled Subscription, Billing, or Plan Details — the exact name varies depending on your account type.
Click the button that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay. You can decline the offer and proceed with cancellation. After you confirm, you will see a message saying your subscription is cancelled, and an email confirmation will arrive within a few minutes.
Cancel Through the Paramount Plus App
Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon, usually in the bottom right corner. Select Account or Settings. Scroll down to find Subscription or Manage Subscription.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice when prompted. The app will show you a cancellation confirmation. Like the website method, your access will continue through the end of your billing cycle. If you do not see a cancellation option in the app, try cancelling through the website instead — some app versions do not include this feature.
Cancel a Subscription Through a Third-Party Platform
If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or another third-party service, you cannot cancel through Paramount Plus itself. You must cancel through the platform where you signed up.
Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Go to Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video: Log into your Amazon account, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and click Cancel. Google Play: Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. Roku: Go to your Roku account settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel.
After you cancel through any of these platforms, Paramount Plus will lose access to your subscription and you will be unable to watch. You will still have access through the end of your current billing period.
What Happens After You Cancel
Your Paramount Plus account remains active until the last day of your billing cycle. If your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 5th, you keep full access until the 15th. After that date, you will no longer be able to watch anything on Paramount Plus.
Paramount Plus will not refund the portion of your subscription you have not used. If you cancel mid-cycle, you lose access to the remaining days without a refund. Your watch history, saved shows, and profile settings are stored for 12 months after cancellation, so if you resubscribe within that time, your account will look the same as when you left.
Resubscribe to Paramount Plus Later
You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time through the same method you used to cancel. If you cancelled through the Paramount Plus website or app, log back in and select the option to restart your subscription. If you cancelled through a third-party platform, go back to that platform and resubscribe there.
Paramount Plus does not charge a penalty for cancelling and resubscribing. Your pricing may differ from your previous subscription depending on current promotions, but you will not be locked into a contract or charged extra fees for returning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my shows and watchlist when I cancel?
Your watch history and saved shows stay in your account for 12 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that year, everything will be there. After 12 months, Paramount Plus deletes the data.
Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. You keep access through the end of your billing period, but you will not receive money back for the days remaining.
What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?
If Paramount Plus came as part of a bundle with your cable, phone, or internet service, you cannot cancel it through Paramount Plus. Contact your provider's customer service to remove it from your account. Your provider controls the subscription, not Paramount Plus.
Do I have to cancel before my next billing date?
No. You can cancel at any time, and the cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged again after you cancel, even if you do not cancel before your next billing date.
How do I know if my cancellation went through?
Paramount Plus sends a confirmation email to the address on your account within a few minutes of cancellation. Check your email inbox and spam folder. You can also log into your account and check your subscription status — it should say "Cancelled" or show no active subscription.
