Cancel Peacock through your account settings

You can cancel Peacock directly from your account page on any web browser or through the Peacock app. Log in with your email and password, then go to your account settings—usually found by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner. Look for a "Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" option. From there, select "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Membership" and follow the prompts to confirm.

The cancellation takes effect when ready if you cancel during your free trial period. If you are past the trial and have paid for a month or year, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle—Peacock does not refund partial months. You will receive a confirmation email once the cancellation is complete.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel Peacock through your account settings on the website or app by finding the subscription management option and selecting cancel.
  • Cancellation takes effect when ready during a free trial, but paid subscriptions continue through the end of your current billing period.
  • If you signed up through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, you must cancel through that platform instead of Peacock's website.
  • Peacock does not refund unused portions of your subscription, but you can reactivate your account later without losing your watchlist or saved preferences.
  • Contact Peacock support through the help section of your account if you encounter errors during cancellation or need to cancel a subscription you do not recognize.

Cancel through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon if you signed up there

If you created your Peacock account through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel through that platform, not through Peacock itself. Canceling on Peacock's website will not stop the charges from your third-party account.

For Apple: Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and tap "Cancel Subscription." For Google Play: Open Google Play, go to your account, select "Subscriptions," tap Peacock, and choose "Cancel Subscription." For Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video settings, select "Manage Your Prime Video Membership," find Peacock under add-ons, and select "Cancel."

What happens after you cancel

Once your current billing period ends, you lose access to Peacock's full library. You will no longer be able to stream shows, movies, or live sports. Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history remain saved in Peacock's system, so if you reactivate your account later, those preferences return.

You may see promotional offers to restart your subscription after cancellation—these are optional. Peacock occasionally offers discounted rates or free trial periods to returning members, but you are not required to take them.

Cancel a subscription you do not recognize

If you see Peacock charges on your credit card or bank statement but did not sign up, log into your account and cancel when ready. Check your email for the account confirmation—if you never received one, someone else may have created the account using your payment information.

Contact Peacock support through the help section of your account to report unauthorized charges. You can also dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company if Peacock cannot resolve it. Keep your bank statements and any emails from Peacock as proof of the dispute.

Reactivate your Peacock account later

You can restart your subscription at any time by logging back into your account and selecting a plan. Your saved shows, watchlist, and profile settings will be there. You will be charged according to the plan you choose—current pricing varies between ad-supported and ad-free tiers.

If you are returning after a long break, Peacock's content library will have changed. Check the "New & Popular" section to see what has been added since you last watched.

Timing and billing cycles

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not when ready. If you are on a monthly plan and cancel on the 15th of the month, you keep access until the end of that month. If you are on an annual plan, you keep access for the remainder of that year.

Peacock charges on the same day each month or year that you signed up. For example, if you subscribed on the 10th, your next charge will be on the 10th of the following month. Cancel before that date if you do not want to be charged again.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Peacock does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, but you will not receive money back for the days remaining after cancellation.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

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

What if I cancel but keep getting charged?

How long does it take to cancel?
