Cancel Peacock through your account settings in three steps

Log into your Peacock account on any web browser or the mobile app. Go to your account menu — on the website, click your profile icon in the top right corner; on the app, tap the profile icon at the bottom right. Select "Account" or "Settings," then look for "Subscription" or "Manage Subscription."

Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Plan." Peacock will show you a confirmation screen and may offer a discount to keep you subscribed. You can ignore this and proceed with cancellation. Confirm your choice when prompted. Your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then your account converts to the free tier.

If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, you must cancel through that service instead of through Peacock directly. The process differs slightly for each platform, but all of them let you manage subscriptions in their account settings.

Key Takeaways

  • You cancel Peacock by logging in, going to Account or Settings, finding Subscription, and clicking Cancel Subscription.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle; cancellation takes effect on your next billing date.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform's app or website instead.
  • Peacock offers a discount prompt after you request cancellation, but you can decline and proceed with your original choice.

Canceling a subscription bought through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon

If you signed up for Peacock through Apple's App Store, open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Subscriptions," find Peacock in the list, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," choose Peacock, and tap "Cancel subscription." The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

For Amazon Prime Video Channels, log into your Amazon account on a web browser, go to "Your Account," select "Prime Video," then "Manage Your Prime Video," and find Peacock in your channel list. Click "Cancel Channel" next to it. If you subscribed through Roku, open the Roku app or go to roku.com, navigate to your account, find "Subscriptions," locate Peacock, and select "Cancel."

What happens after you cancel

Your Peacock account does not disappear when you cancel. Instead, it downgrades to Peacock Free, which includes ads and a smaller library of shows and movies. You keep your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings. If you decide to resubscribe later, you can upgrade back to Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus at any time.

You will not be charged again after your current billing cycle ends. If you want to delete your account entirely rather than downgrade to free, you can contact Peacock support through the app or website, but this is permanent and you cannot recover your watchlist or history.

Canceling before your free trial ends

If you are on a free trial and want to cancel before it ends, the process is the same: go to your subscription settings and click "Cancel Subscription." Your trial ends when ready, and your account converts to Peacock Free. You will not be charged for the trial period.

Some free trials are promotional offers tied to other services — for example, if you got Peacock free through a Comcast or T-Mobile plan, canceling the Peacock subscription does not affect your other service. Check the terms of your original offer to see whether canceling Peacock changes anything else.

Reactivating your subscription later

You can resubscribe to Peacock Premium or Premium Plus at any time after cancellation. Log back into your account, go to your subscription settings, and select the plan you want. Your billing will restart on the date you reactivate. Peacock does not charge a reactivation fee.

If you originally subscribed through a third-party service, you must resubscribe through that same service. For example, if you canceled through Apple, you resubscribe through Apple. Your account information and watchlist remain intact, so you can pick up where you left off.

Troubleshooting cancellation problems

If the "Cancel Subscription" button does not appear in your account settings, you may be on a promotional plan or a plan purchased through a third party. Check whether you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, or a carrier plan like Comcast or T-Mobile. If you did, cancel through that service instead.

If you subscribed directly through Peacock but still cannot find the cancel option, try logging out and back in, or clear your browser cache and try again. If the problem persists, contact Peacock support through the app or website. They can confirm your subscription status and process the cancellation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose my watchlist and history when I cancel?

No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and profile settings stay with your account when you downgrade to Peacock Free. If you resubscribe later, everything is still there. Only if you delete your entire account do you lose this information, and that action is permanent.

Can I cancel in the middle of a billing cycle?

Yes, but your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready. You keep full access to Peacock Premium or Premium Plus until that date. You will not be charged again after the cycle ends.

What is the difference between canceling and deleting my account?

Canceling downgrades your account to Peacock Free and stops charges. Deleting your account removes it permanently and erases your watchlist, history, and profile. Deletion cannot be undone. Most people cancel rather than delete.

If I cancel through Peacock's website, do I need to cancel through Apple too?

It depends on how you subscribed. If you signed up directly on Peacock's website with a credit card, cancel through Peacock only. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform. Canceling in the wrong place may not stop your charges.

Will Peacock offer me a discount to stay?

Peacock often shows a discount offer when you request cancellation. You can accept it to keep your subscription at a lower price, or decline it and proceed with cancellation. There is no penalty for declining.
