Delete Your Peacock Account in Three Steps

To delete your Peacock account, log in to your account settings on the Peacock website or app, find the account deletion option, and confirm the deletion. The process takes about five minutes. Once you delete your account, Peacock will remove your profile, viewing history, and saved content within a few days, though your billing information may take longer to fully clear from their system.

Peacock does not let you delete your account through the mobile app alone — you must use a web browser on a computer or phone. If you have an active subscription, canceling it first will prevent accidental charges after deletion, though it is not required to complete the deletion itself.

Key Takeaways

  • You must delete your account through a web browser at peacocktv.com, not through the Peacock app on your phone or tablet.
  • Canceling your subscription before deletion prevents future charges, though deletion itself will stop all access when ready.
  • After you confirm deletion, Peacock removes your profile and viewing history within a few days.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page before attempting to delete your account.
  • Deleting your account is permanent — you cannot recover your profile, watchlist, or viewing history once the deletion is complete.

Cancel Your Subscription First (Optional but Recommended)

If you have an active Peacock subscription, canceling it before deletion stops any future charges. This step is optional — deletion itself will disable your account when ready — but it prevents the risk of being billed after you think your account is gone.

To cancel, log in to Peacock, go to your account settings, select "Subscription," and choose "Cancel Subscription." Peacock will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to keep you. Once you cancel, your subscription ends on the date shown on your confirmation screen, and you lose access to paid content at that time. You can still delete your account after cancellation, or wait until your subscription period ends naturally.

Log In and Navigate to Account Settings

Go to peacocktv.com in a web browser and log in with your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page, enter your email, and follow the link Peacock sends you to reset it.

Once logged in, look for the account icon or menu in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account Settings" or "Settings." You will see options for your profile, subscription, payment method, and other preferences. This is where the account deletion option lives.

Find and Confirm Account Deletion

In Account Settings, scroll down to find a section labeled "Account" or "Manage Account." Look for a link or button that says "Delete Account," "Close Account," or "Deactivate Account" — the exact wording varies slightly depending on when Peacock last updated the interface. Click it.

Peacock will show you a confirmation screen explaining that deletion is permanent and will remove your profile, watchlist, and viewing history. Read the message carefully. You will see a checkbox or button asking you to confirm. Click it, and Peacock will ask you to enter your password one more time to verify it is really you. Type your password and click "Delete Account" or "Confirm Deletion."

What Happens After You Delete

Your account is deleted when ready, and you lose access to Peacock right away. You cannot log in, watch content, or access your profile. Within a few days, Peacock removes your viewing history, saved shows, and profile from their servers. Your billing information may take longer to clear — up to 30 days in some cases — but you will not be charged again.

If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, deleting your Peacock account does not cancel that subscription. You must cancel the subscription through the service you used to pay for it. For example, if you subscribed through Apple, go to your Apple ID settings, find Peacock under subscriptions, and cancel there.

If Deletion Does Not Work

If you click "Delete Account" and nothing happens, or if you see an error message, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log back in and try again. Sometimes stored data in your browser blocks the deletion process.

If the deletion option does not appear in your Account Settings at all, you may have a free account (free accounts cannot be deleted through the standard process) or your account may have restrictions. Contact Peacock support through their help center at peacocktv.com/help. You can submit a request describing your situation, and a support agent will help you delete your account manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reactivate my account after deleting it?

No. Once you delete your Peacock account, it is gone permanently. You cannot recover your profile, watchlist, or viewing history. If you want to use Peacock again, you will need to create a brand new account with a different email address or the same email address after a waiting period.

Will deleting my account stop my subscription charges?

Deleting your account stops all access and charges when ready. However, if you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple or Amazon, you must also cancel the subscription through that service, or you will continue to be charged by them even though your Peacock account is gone.

What if I subscribed through my cable provider?

If Peacock came free with your cable or internet plan, deleting your Peacock account does not affect your cable subscription. You can still access Peacock through your cable provider's login if you choose to later. Contact your cable provider if you want to remove Peacock from your account entirely.

Do I need to cancel my subscription before deleting my account?

No, but it is a good idea. Deleting your account stops access when ready, but canceling first ensures you will not be charged if there is any delay in the deletion process. If you forget to cancel and are charged after deletion, contact Peacock support to request a refund.

How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?

Your account is deleted when ready and you lose access right away. Peacock removes your profile and viewing history from their servers within a few days. Billing information may take up to 30 days to clear completely, but you will not be charged after deletion.
