Cancel Paramount Plus in three steps through your account settings

To cancel Paramount Plus, log into your account, go to Account Settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. The process takes about two minutes. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep watching until then, and you are not charged again.

Where you cancel depends on how you signed up. If you subscribed directly through Paramount Plus's website or app, you cancel there. If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or another third-party platform, you must cancel through that platform instead — canceling on Paramount's site will not stop the charges.

Paramount Plus does not charge a cancellation fee. You can restart your subscription at any time after it ends, and you will not lose your watchlist or viewing history.

Key Takeaways

  • Direct subscriptions cancel through your Paramount Plus account settings under Subscription, and access ends at the end of your billing cycle.
  • Subscriptions purchased through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku must be canceled through those platforms, not through Paramount Plus.
  • You keep full access to your account until your current billing period ends, and there is no penalty for canceling.
  • Your watchlist and viewing history remain saved if you restart your subscription later.

Cancel a direct Paramount Plus subscription on the website

Open Paramount Plus in a web browser and sign in with your email and password. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, click Subscription on the left side. Under your current plan, click Cancel Subscription. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to stay — you can decline and proceed with cancellation. Your subscription ends on the date shown, which is the last day you can watch.

Cancel through the Paramount Plus mobile app

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon at the bottom right. Select Account Settings, then tap Subscription.

Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice. On Android, the process is identical. On iPhone or iPad, if you subscribed through the app itself rather than through Apple's App Store, you cancel the same way. If you subscribed through the App Store, you must cancel through your Apple account settings instead — see the third-party section below.

Cancel a subscription through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through a third-party platform, that platform handles your billing and cancellation. Canceling through Paramount Plus's website or app will not stop your charges.

Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Mac, go to System Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions.

Google Play (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription.

Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to your Prime Video account, select Your Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and click Cancel Channel.

Roku: Go to your Roku account on the Roku website, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and click Cancel.

What happens after you cancel

Your account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid monthly and canceled on the 15th of the month, you can watch until the end of that month. If you paid for a year upfront, you can watch until the anniversary date of your payment.

After your access ends, you can restart your subscription at any time by logging back in and choosing a plan. Paramount Plus will not delete your watchlist, viewing history, or saved preferences — everything returns when you restart.

If you cancel and then restart within a few days, Paramount Plus sometimes offers a discount on your first month back. There is no may provide of this offer, but it is worth checking when you log in to restart.

Pause your subscription instead of canceling

Paramount Plus does not offer an official pause feature, but you can cancel and restart without losing your data. If you want to stop paying temporarily but keep your account intact, canceling is the only option — your watchlist and history stay saved.

Some streaming services offer pause options that hold your subscription for a set period without charging you. Paramount Plus does not have this. If you think you might return within a few weeks, canceling and restarting is straightforward enough that a pause feature would not save much time.

Troubleshooting cancellation problems

If you cannot find the Cancel Subscription button, check that you are logged into the correct account. Some people have multiple Paramount Plus accounts under different email addresses. Log out completely, then log in again with the email address you use for billing.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and the cancellation button is not appearing there, try canceling through that platform's website instead of its app — app versions sometimes lag behind website versions. If you still cannot cancel, contact that platform's customer service (Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku) rather than Paramount Plus, because they handle the billing.

If you canceled but charges continue, check your bank or credit card statement to see which company is charging you. If it is the third-party platform (Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku), contact them. If it is Paramount Plus directly, log back into your account and verify that the cancellation went through — sometimes the page does not update when ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I just paid for a month?

Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for the current billing period. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of that period. If you need a refund, contact Paramount Plus customer service through your account settings and explain your situation — they may make an exception, but refunds are not may provide.

Will I lose my watchlist if I cancel?

No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and all saved preferences stay in your account. When you restart your subscription, everything is exactly as you left it.

How do I know if I subscribed directly or through a third party?

Check your bank or credit card statement. If the charge says "Paramount Plus" or "Paramount," you subscribed directly. If it says "Apple," "Google," "Amazon," or "Roku," you subscribed through that platform and must cancel there.

Can I cancel anytime, or is there a contract?

You can cancel anytime with no penalty. Paramount Plus has no contract or early termination fee. You keep access through the end of your current billing cycle no matter when you cancel.

What if I want to switch to a different Paramount Plus plan instead of canceling?

You can change your plan without canceling. In your Account Settings under Subscription, look for an option to upgrade or downgrade. You can move between ad-supported and ad-free plans, or between monthly and annual billing, without losing your account data.
