How to unsubscribe from Paramount Plus
You can cancel your Paramount Plus subscription through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app. The process takes about two minutes and stops your billing when ready—you'll keep access to the service through the end of your current billing period, then lose access after that date.
The exact steps depend on whether you subscribed directly through Paramount Plus or through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider. If you signed up directly, you cancel in your Paramount Plus account. If you subscribed through a third party, you cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount Plus itself.
Key Takeaways
- Direct Paramount Plus subscribers cancel through their account settings on the website or app by selecting "Manage Plan" and choosing "Cancel Subscription."
- If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount Plus.
- You keep access through the end of your current billing cycle after you cancel—you do not lose access when ready.
- Paramount Plus does not charge a cancellation fee, and you can resubscribe at any time without penalty.
Canceling a direct Paramount Plus subscription on the website
Log into your Paramount Plus account at paramountplus.com using your email and password. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the menu.
On the Account page, find the "Plan" section and click "Manage Plan." You will see your current subscription tier and billing date. Click "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of this section. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay—you can decline and proceed with the cancellation.
After you confirm, you will receive an email confirming the cancellation. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, which Paramount Plus will state on the confirmation screen.
Canceling through the Paramount Plus mobile app
Open the Paramount Plus app and tap the profile icon (usually in the bottom right corner). Select "Account" or "Settings," depending on your device.
Tap "Manage Plan" or "Subscription" and then "Cancel Subscription." Follow the same confirmation steps as the website. The app will show your final access date before you confirm.
If you are using an iPhone or iPad, you may see a note that your subscription is managed through Apple. In that case, follow the Apple cancellation steps below instead—canceling through the app will not work.
Canceling a subscription through Apple, Amazon, or Google Play
If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or another third-party platform, you must cancel through that service. Canceling in your Paramount Plus account will not stop the billing.
Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On Mac, go to System Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > Subscriptions.
Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video settings, select "Manage Your Prime Video Membership," and choose "Cancel Your Prime Video Membership." Note that this cancels Prime Video itself, not just the Paramount Plus add-on; if you only want to remove Paramount Plus, select "Manage Add-On Subscriptions" instead and cancel Paramount Plus there.
Google Play (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and Subscriptions," choose "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
Canceling through cable or internet providers
Some cable and internet providers include Paramount Plus as part of a bundle or offer it as an add-on. If your subscription came through your cable or internet bill, contact your provider's customer service to remove it. You cannot cancel through Paramount Plus itself in this case.
Ask your provider whether removing Paramount Plus will affect any bundle discounts on your bill. Some providers reduce your overall rate if you keep the bundle intact, so it is worth confirming the cost difference before you cancel.
What happens after you cancel
You will receive a confirmation email with your final access date. You can continue watching until midnight on that date. After that, you will no longer be able to stream content, and your account will be inactive.
You can resubscribe at any time by logging back into your account or signing up as a new user. Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee, and you will not lose any saved preferences or watchlist items if you resubscribe within a reasonable time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I lose access when ready after I cancel?
No. You keep access through the end of your current billing period. Paramount Plus will show you the exact final date when you cancel. After that date, your account becomes inactive and you cannot watch content.
Can I get a refund for the current month?
Paramount Plus does not refund partial months. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep access through the end of that billing period, but you will not receive money back for unused days.
What if I subscribed through my cable bill and do not know how to cancel?
Call your cable or internet provider's customer service number (on your bill) and tell them you want to remove Paramount Plus. They can cancel it in one call and confirm when it stops billing. Ask whether removing it changes your bundle price.
Will I lose my saved shows and watchlist if I cancel?
Your account and watchlist remain saved. If you resubscribe later, your saved shows and preferences will still be there. However, Paramount Plus may delete inactive accounts after a long period of non-use—contact support if you are unsure.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Paramount Plus does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. You can resubscribe whenever you want without penalty.
