Cancel Peacock directly in the app or through your account settings

You can cancel Peacock on your phone in two ways: through the Peacock app itself, or through your account settings on Peacock's website. The app method is faster if you remember your password. If you signed up through a third party—like Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku—you'll need to cancel through that service instead, because Peacock doesn't control the subscription on their end.

The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You'll keep access to Peacock until that date arrives, then your account closes and you stop being charged. If you cancel mid-month, you don't get a refund for the time remaining.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Peacock app, tap your profile icon, select Settings, then Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription to end it through Peacock directly.
  • If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you must cancel through that service's app or website, not through Peacock.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep watching until that date.
  • You can reactivate your subscription at any time after cancellation by signing back in and choosing a plan.
  • If you're on a promotional rate and cancel, you'll lose that rate if you resubscribe later.

Cancel through the Peacock app on your phone

Open the Peacock app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Select Settings, then scroll down and tap Subscription. You'll see your current plan and billing date. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm when the app asks you to verify.

After you confirm, Peacock sends a cancellation email to the address on your account. Save that email as proof the cancellation went through. Your access continues until your next billing date, which Peacock will show you on the Subscription screen before you cancel.

Cancel if you signed up through Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku

If you created your Peacock account by signing in with Apple ID, Google Account, Amazon account, or Roku account, the subscription lives in that service's system, not in Peacock's. Canceling in the Peacock app won't stop the charges because Peacock isn't billing you—the other service is.

On iPhone or iPad: Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and tap Cancel Subscription.

On Android: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon in the top right, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find Peacock, and tap Cancel subscription.

Through Amazon Prime Video: Open the Prime Video app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), go to Account, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and tap Cancel subscription.

Through Roku: On your Roku device, go to Home, select Manage subscriptions, find Peacock, and choose Cancel. If you're using the Roku app on your phone instead, open it, tap Account, select Manage subscriptions, and cancel from there.

Cancel through Peacock's website on your phone

If you prefer not to use the app, open a web browser on your phone and go to peacock.com. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. Scroll down to Subscription and tap Manage Subscription. Select Cancel Subscription and confirm.

This method works the same way as the app—your access ends at the close of your billing cycle, and you'll receive a confirmation email. Bookmark the confirmation or take a screenshot so you have proof if billing questions come up later.

What happens after you cancel

Once cancellation is confirmed, Peacock stops charging you after your current billing period ends. You can still watch everything in your account until that date. After it passes, you'll see a message asking you to resubscribe if you want to keep watching.

Your watchlist, viewing history, and saved shows stay in your account for up to a year after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that time, your data is still there. After a year of inactivity, Peacock may delete your account information.

Reactivate your subscription later

You can sign back into Peacock at any time and choose a new plan. Open the app or website, sign in with your email and password, and select the plan you want. Your old watchlist and history return if you reactivate within a year.

If you had a promotional rate before you canceled—like a discounted first month or a bundle deal—that offer is no longer available when you resubscribe. You'll pay the standard monthly rate unless Peacock is running a new promotion at the time you sign back up.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Peacock charges monthly in advance, so canceling partway through your billing cycle doesn't refund the unused portion. You keep access until the end of that month, then the subscription closes.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Peacock doesn't offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop being charged, you have to cancel and resubscribe later.

How long does it take for the cancellation to go through?

Cancellation is when ready in the system, but your access continues until the end of your billing period. You'll receive a confirmation email within a few minutes of canceling.

What if I cancel but still see a charge on my credit card?

If you see a charge after your cancellation date, it's usually a delayed processing issue. Check your bank's transaction history to see the actual date the charge posted. If the charge is after your billing cycle ended, contact Peacock support with your confirmation email and the charge details.

Do I lose my watchlist when I cancel?

No. Your watchlist, history, and saved shows stay in your account for up to a year after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that time, everything is still there.
