How to Cancel Paramount Plus
You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app. The process takes about two minutes and stops your subscription when ready — you will lose access to the service right away, though you can rejoin later without penalty. 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 directly through Paramount Plus.
The method you use to cancel depends on where you created your account. If you signed up directly on the Paramount Plus website or app, you cancel in your account settings. If you subscribed through another service, that service controls your cancellation. Either way, the subscription ends on your next billing date unless you cancel before then.
Key Takeaways
- Canceling directly through Paramount Plus takes two minutes in your account settings under "Subscription and Billing."
- If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Google Play, or another third party, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus.
- Your access stops when ready after cancellation, even if your next billing date is weeks away.
- You can rejoin Paramount Plus at any time without losing saved preferences or watchlist data.
Cancel a Direct Paramount Plus Subscription on Web
Open the Paramount Plus website and sign in to your account. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the menu. Look for the "Subscription and Billing" section — this is where all your subscription details appear.
Click "Manage Subscription" or "Change Subscription." You will see your current plan, billing date, and a button to cancel. Click the cancel button. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with cancellation. Your subscription ends when ready, and you will receive a confirmation email.
Cancel a Direct Paramount Plus Subscription on Mobile App
Open the Paramount Plus app and tap your profile icon at the bottom right. Select "Account Settings" or "Settings." Scroll down to find "Subscription and Billing" or "Manage Subscription."
Tap "Manage Subscription" and then "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation when prompted. On some phones, the app may direct you to the website to complete the cancellation — if this happens, follow the web steps above. You will lose access to Paramount Plus when ready after cancellation.
Cancel If You Subscribed Through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play
If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple's App Store, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Google Play, you cannot cancel through the Paramount Plus app or website. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed.
Apple: Open Settings, tap your name at the top, 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."
Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and Subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
What Happens After You Cancel
Your access to Paramount Plus stops when ready after cancellation. You cannot watch shows or movies, and your profile becomes inactive. However, your watchlist and viewing history are saved — if you rejoin later, these will still be there.
You will not be charged again after cancellation. If you cancel before your next billing date, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. If you want to keep access until your billing date, do not cancel yet — wait until closer to that date.
Rejoin Paramount Plus Later
You can restart your Paramount Plus subscription at any time by signing back into your account or creating a new one. If you use the same email address, your old watchlist and preferences will be there. There is no penalty for canceling and rejoining — Paramount Plus does not charge reactivation fees or require a waiting period.
If you want to pause your subscription instead of canceling completely, Paramount Plus does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to stay subscribed or cancel. Some third-party platforms like Amazon Prime Video Channels do allow you to pause, so check your platform's settings if you subscribed that way.
Troubleshooting Cancellation Problems
If you cannot find the cancel button in your account settings, make sure you are signed in to the correct account. Some people have multiple accounts under different email addresses. Check your email for confirmation that you are subscribed — the confirmation email will show which account the subscription is under.
If you subscribed through a third-party platform and the cancel button does not appear in the Paramount Plus app, you are looking in the wrong place. Go directly to the platform where you subscribed — Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or another service — and cancel there. Paramount Plus cannot cancel subscriptions that were created through other platforms.
If you were charged after cancellation, contact Paramount Plus support through the website or your billing platform. Keep your cancellation confirmation email as proof that you canceled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel before my next billing date?
No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused subscription time. If your next billing date is in two weeks and you cancel today, you lose access when ready but are not charged again. To avoid losing access, wait to cancel closer to your billing date.
Can I cancel if I have a free trial?
Yes. If you are on a free trial, you can cancel anytime before the trial ends to prevent being charged. Follow the same cancellation steps — your access will end on the last day of your trial period, not when ready.
What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?
If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, you cannot cancel it through the Paramount Plus website. Contact your provider's customer service to remove Paramount Plus from your account. They will tell you whether removing it affects your bill or plan.
Can I cancel and rejoin on the same day?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription and create a new one when ready. There is no waiting period. However, you will be charged for a new subscription right away, so you will have two separate charges if you do this on the same billing cycle.
How do I know if my cancellation went through?
Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Paramount Plus. You should also see "Subscription Canceled" or similar language in your account settings. If you do not receive an email within a few minutes, sign out and sign back in to refresh your account status.
