Cancel Peacock through your account settings

To unsubscribe from Peacock, log into your account on the Peacock website or app, go to your Account settings, and select the option to manage your subscription. From there, you can choose to cancel when ready or at the end of your current billing cycle. The exact wording and location of these buttons varies slightly depending on whether you're using a web browser, the Peacock app on a phone or tablet, or a streaming device.

If you signed up directly through Peacock (not through another service like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video), this is the fastest way to cancel. You'll see your current plan, your next billing date, and a clear button to cancel. Peacock will ask you why you're leaving—this is optional to answer, and your reason won't affect the cancellation.

Key Takeaways

  • If you signed up directly with Peacock, cancel through your Account settings on the website or app by selecting the option to manage your subscription.
  • If you subscribed through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service, not through Peacock itself.
  • You can cancel when ready and lose access right away, or cancel at the end of your current billing period and keep access until then.
  • Peacock does not charge a cancellation fee, and you can resubscribe at any time without penalty.

Cancel a subscription you bought through another service

If you signed up for Peacock through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, or another third-party platform, you cannot cancel through Peacock itself. Instead, you must go back to the service where you originally subscribed and cancel there.

For Apple TV Channels, open the Apple TV app on any device, go to Account, tap Subscriptions, find Peacock, and select Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video, sign into your Prime account on Amazon.com, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Peacock, and choose Cancel Subscription. For The Roku Channel, open the Roku app, go to your account, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and cancel from there. Each platform has its own process, but all of them will let you cancel when ready or at the end of your billing period.

What happens when you cancel

Once you cancel, your access to Peacock ends either when ready or on your next billing date, depending on which option you chose. You will not be charged again. If you cancel when ready, you lose access to all Peacock content right away. If you cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep full access until that date arrives, then your account closes automatically.

Your watch history, saved shows, and profile information are stored for a limited time after cancellation. If you resubscribe within a certain period, some of this information may still be there, though Peacock does not may provide this. You can resubscribe at any time without any penalty or special process—just log back in or sign up again.

Cancel on a streaming device or smart TV

If you primarily watch Peacock on a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or other streaming device, you can still cancel through your account settings. Open the Peacock app, go to your profile or account menu (usually in the top corner), select Account Settings or Manage Subscription, and look for the cancel option. The layout differs by device, but the steps are the same: find your subscription details and select cancel.

Some streaming devices also let you manage subscriptions through the device's main settings rather than within the app itself. On Roku, for example, you can go to Settings, Subscriptions, and manage Peacock from there. On Amazon Fire Stick, you can go to Your Apps and Channels, select Peacock, and manage the subscription. If you're unsure where to find the option on your specific device, check the device's help section or Peacock's support page for device-specific instructions.

Troubleshooting if you cannot find the cancel button

If you log into your account and cannot locate the cancel option, first check that you are in the Account or Settings section, not the main menu. On the Peacock website, look for your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account from the dropdown. On the mobile app, tap the profile icon at the bottom of the screen. Make sure you are logged in as the account owner—if someone else created the account, you may not see the subscription management options.

If you still cannot find the cancel button after checking these steps, contact Peacock support through the help section of the website or app. You can also reach out through social media or email. Peacock support can cancel your subscription manually if there is a technical issue preventing you from doing it yourself. Have your account email address and the phone number or payment method associated with your account ready when you contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be charged if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?

No. If you cancel when ready, you lose access right away but are not charged for the next month. If you cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep access until that date and are not charged after it ends. Either way, you pay nothing extra for cancelling.

Can I pause my Peacock subscription instead of cancelling?

Peacock does not offer a pause or freeze option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later. There is no penalty for resubscribing, and you may be offered a promotional rate when you sign back up.

What if I signed up for a free trial and want to cancel before it ends?

You can cancel a free trial the same way you cancel a paid subscription—through your Account settings. If you cancel before the trial ends, your access stops when ready and you are never charged. Cancelling a free trial does not affect your ability to sign up for another free trial or paid plan in the future.

Do I need to delete the Peacock app after I cancel?

No. Deleting the app is optional. After your subscription ends, the app will straightforward ask you to log in or start a free trial if you open it. You can leave the app on your device and reinstall it later if you resubscribe, or delete it if you prefer. Cancelling the subscription does not require you to delete anything.

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

Cancellation is when ready once you confirm it in your account settings. If you chose to cancel at the end of your billing cycle, your access continues until that date, then stops automatically. You should see the cancellation confirmed in your account settings right away, and you will not receive another billing charge.
