You can cancel Peacock at any time with no penalty or lock-in period

Peacock has no contract. You can stop your subscription whenever you want, and you will not be charged for the next month. If you cancel mid-month, your access continues until the end of that billing cycle — you do not lose the time you have already paid for. The process takes less than five minutes through your account settings.

The method depends on where you signed up. If you subscribed through Peacock's website or app, you cancel directly in your account. If you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you cancel through that platform instead. Cancelling in the wrong place will not work.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock subscriptions have no contract, and you can cancel anytime without penalty or early termination fees.
  • Your access continues through the end of your current billing period even after you cancel, so you do not lose paid time.
  • Where you cancel depends on where you signed up — directly through Peacock, or through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku.
  • The cancellation process takes minutes and requires only a few clicks in your account settings or the third-party app.

How to cancel if you signed up directly through Peacock

Log into your Peacock account on the website or open the app. Go to your account settings — this is usually found by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner. Look for a section labeled "Subscription" or "Billing" and select it.

You will see your current plan and billing information. Find the button or link that says "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" and click it. Peacock will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed. Once you confirm, your subscription is cancelled. You will receive a confirmation email.

How to cancel if you signed up through a third-party platform

Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On a Mac, open System Settings, click your name, select "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and click the minus button.

Google Play (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and tap "Cancel subscription."

Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video account settings, select "Manage Your Prime Video," find Peacock under "Subscriptions," and click "Cancel."

Roku: On your Roku device, go to Home, select "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and select "Cancel subscription."

What happens after you cancel

Your Peacock account remains active until the end of your current billing period. If you paid for a month on the 15th, you can watch until the 15th of the next month. After that date, you will no longer be able to log in or stream content. You will not be charged again.

If you change your mind, you can reactivate your subscription at any time by logging back in and selecting a plan. There is no penalty for reactivating, and you will not lose your watch history or saved content.

Cancelling a free trial

If you are on a free trial, you must cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged for a paid plan. The cancellation process is the same — go to your subscription settings and select cancel. You will keep access to Peacock for the remainder of your trial period.

Mark the end date of your trial on a calendar or set a phone reminder a few days before it ends. This prevents accidental charges if you forget to cancel.

If you cannot find the cancel button

If you signed up through a third-party platform and cannot locate the cancel option, double-check that you are looking in the right place. Many people cancel in the wrong app and then wonder why they are still being charged. Go back to the platform where you originally signed up and follow those steps.

If you still cannot find it, contact the platform's customer support — Apple Support, Google Play Support, Amazon Prime Video Support, or Roku Support — rather than Peacock. They manage the billing for subscriptions signed up through their services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my watch history and saved shows if I cancel?

Your watch history and saved content stay in your account. If you reactivate your subscription later, everything will be there. You can access your account information for up to a year after cancellation.

Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?

Peacock does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you will need to cancel and reactivate later.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Peacock does not issue refunds for partial months. You keep access through the end of your billing cycle, but you will not receive money back for unused days.

What if I signed up through a bundle or promotion?

If you signed up through a promotional offer or bundle (like Comcast Xfinity or Cox), cancellation may work differently. Check your original sign-up confirmation email or contact the company that provided the bundle to learn how to cancel.

Can Peacock cancel my subscription without asking?

Peacock will not cancel your subscription on its own. You will only lose access if your payment method fails and you do not update it, or if you cancel yourself. If your card is declined, Peacock will send you a notice asking you to update your payment information.
