Cancel Peacock directly through the app or your account settings

You can cancel Peacock on your phone by going into the app itself or through your account settings, depending on whether you signed up through the Peacock app or through another service like Apple, Google, or Amazon. The fastest route is usually the app: open Peacock, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, select Account, then Subscription, and look for the option to manage or cancel. If you signed up through a third-party platform, you'll need to cancel through that platform instead — Peacock cannot cancel those subscriptions for you.

The exact wording and location of buttons changes occasionally as Peacock updates its app, but the path is always: profile icon → Account → Subscription → manage or cancel option. If you cannot find the subscription section, try scrolling down in the Account menu, as it sometimes appears below other settings.

Key Takeaways

  • If you signed up directly through Peacock, cancel in the app by going to your profile, Account, then Subscription.
  • If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform, not through Peacock.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready.
  • After you cancel, you can still watch until your paid period ends, then your access stops.

Canceling a subscription you started through Peacock's app

Open the Peacock app and tap the profile icon (usually a circle with your initial or a silhouette) in the top right corner of the home screen. From the menu that appears, select Account. You should see several options including Settings, Notifications, and Subscription — tap Subscription.

On the Subscription page, you will see your current plan and billing information. Look for a button that says Manage Subscription, Cancel Subscription, or Change Plan. Tap it. Peacock will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with canceling. Once you confirm, your subscription is canceled and will end on your next billing date.

Canceling if you signed up through Apple, Google, or Amazon

If you created your Peacock account by signing in with Apple ID, Google account, or Amazon account, or if you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Amazon Prime Video, you cannot cancel through the Peacock app. You must cancel through the platform where you signed up.

For Apple: On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Peacock in the list, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play: Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and tap Cancel subscription. For 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.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation does not stop your access when ready. You can continue watching Peacock until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on the 15th and your next charge date is the 25th, you have access until the 25th at midnight. After that date, you will no longer be able to watch anything on Peacock unless you resubscribe.

Peacock will not refund the current billing period, even if you cancel partway through the month. If you want to avoid being charged again, make sure you cancel before your next billing date — the exact date appears in your Subscription settings.

Reactivating your subscription later

If you change your mind after canceling, you can resubscribe at any time by opening the Peacock app and selecting a plan. Your watchlist and viewing history will still be there if you use the same account. There is no penalty for canceling and restarting — you straightforward pay for the month you want to watch.

Some users cancel and resubscribe seasonally (for example, during months when Peacock has shows they want to watch). This is a normal use pattern and Peacock does not restrict it.

Troubleshooting if you cannot find the cancel button

If you are looking for the cancel option and cannot find it, first check that you are in the right place: profile icon → Account → Subscription. Scroll down on the Subscription page, as the cancel button sometimes appears below your billing information rather than at the top.

If the button still does not appear, try closing the app completely and reopening it. If you are still stuck, contact Peacock support through the app by tapping the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and selecting Help or Contact Us. They can confirm your subscription status and walk you through cancellation if the app is not showing the option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?

No. Peacock does not refund partial months. If you cancel on the 10th and your next charge date is the 25th, you keep access until the 25th but do not receive a refund for those 15 days. You only pay for the full month.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Peacock does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to stay subscribed or cancel. If you want to stop paying temporarily, canceling and resubscribing later is the only way.

What if I signed up through a free trial?

Free trials still require a payment method on file. You must cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. The cancellation process is the same: go to your profile, Account, Subscription, and select cancel. Your access ends when the trial period ends, not when you click cancel.

Do I lose my watchlist and saved shows when I cancel?

Your watchlist and viewing history stay with your account. If you resubscribe using the same login, everything will be there. However, if you delete your Peacock account entirely (a separate action from canceling), you will lose this information.

Why does Peacock say I cannot cancel through the app?

This usually means you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple, Google, or Amazon. Those platforms handle your subscription and billing, so Peacock cannot cancel it. You must go back to the platform where you originally signed up and cancel there instead.
