How to unsubscribe from Paramount Plus
You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, or by contacting their customer service team. The process takes a few minutes and your access ends when ready or at the end of your current billing period, depending on when you cancel. You will not receive a refund for the portion of your current month you have not used, but you can restart your subscription at any time.
The method you use depends on where you signed up. If you subscribed directly through Paramount Plus, you cancel through their website or app. If you signed up through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, Roku, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that platform instead — canceling only on the Paramount Plus side will not stop the charges.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app is the fastest method and takes effect right away or at the end of your billing cycle.
- If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus directly.
- Your access stops when ready when you cancel, though some platforms allow you to keep watching until your paid period ends.
- Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription, but you can reactivate your account later without penalty.
Cancel through the Paramount Plus website
Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser and go to your account settings. Look for a section labeled "Subscription" or "Billing" — the exact name varies slightly depending on your account type. Click on the option to manage or change your subscription.
Select "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership" and follow the prompts. Paramount Plus may offer you a discount to stay, but you can decline and proceed with cancellation. Confirm your choice when prompted. You will receive a confirmation email with your cancellation date.
Cancel through the Paramount Plus mobile 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," then look for "Subscription" or "Billing." Tap the option to manage your subscription.
Choose "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice. The app will show you your cancellation date. If you do not see a cancel option in the app, you may need to cancel through the website instead, as some app versions do not include this feature.
Cancel if you subscribed through a third-party platform
If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Roku, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus itself. Canceling only through Paramount Plus will not stop the charges from your third-party account.
For Apple subscriptions, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and select Paramount Plus, then tap "Cancel Subscription." For Amazon Prime Video, go to Your Account > Prime Video Settings > Manage Your Prime Video Membership. For Google Play, open the Play Store app, go to your account, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Each platform has its own process, so check their support pages if you get stuck.
What happens after you cancel
Your access to Paramount Plus stops either when ready or at the end of your current billing period, depending on when you cancel and your account type. Most accounts lose access right away, but some platforms allow you to keep watching until your paid period ends. Check your confirmation email to see your exact end date.
You will not be charged again after cancellation. If you change your mind, you can restart your subscription at any time by logging back in and selecting a plan. There is no penalty for canceling and restarting — Paramount Plus treats it as a new subscription.
If you cannot find the cancel option
Some older account types or regional versions of Paramount Plus have different menu layouts. Try searching your account settings for words like "subscription," "billing," "membership," or "plan." If you still cannot locate the cancel button, contact Paramount Plus customer service through their website or app.
You can also cancel by phone or email if the self-service option is not working. Paramount Plus support can process your cancellation request and confirm it in writing. Keep your confirmation email as proof of cancellation in case you are charged again by mistake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your billing date is the 1st, you lose access to the remaining days without a refund. Plan your cancellation around your billing date if you want to avoid wasting money.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or freeze option. Your only choices are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and restart later.
What if I cancel but still see charges on my credit card?
Check your confirmation email to confirm the cancellation went through. If charges continue after your cancellation date, contact Paramount Plus support with your confirmation email and the dates of the unwanted charges. If you subscribed through a third party, contact that platform's support instead.
Can I cancel someone else's Paramount Plus account?
No. Only the account owner can cancel the subscription. If the account is under someone else's name, they must log in and cancel it themselves, or they can give you permission to access their account.
Do I lose my watchlist and saved shows when I cancel?
Your watchlist and viewing history are saved to your account. If you restart your subscription later, your saved content will still be there. However, once your account is fully deleted (which is different from cancellation), this information is lost.
