Cancel Peacock through your account settings on any device

To cancel Peacock, log into your account on the Peacock website or app, go to 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 process takes about two minutes and requires no phone call or chat with support.

If you signed up through Peacock directly (not through another service like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video), you manage the subscription in the same place you created it. The cancellation is when ready — you lose access to Peacock content right away if you choose when ready cancellation, or on your next billing date if you choose to keep access through the end of your current period.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Peacock account, open Account Settings, and select Manage Subscription to cancel without calling anyone.
  • You can cancel when ready and lose access at once, or cancel at the end of your current billing cycle to keep watching until then.
  • If you subscribed through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Peacock.
  • Peacock does not charge a cancellation fee, and you will not be refunded for unused time if you cancel mid-cycle.
  • After cancellation, you can reactivate your account later by logging back in and restarting your subscription.

Cancel a Peacock subscription you bought directly from Peacock

Open the Peacock app or go to peacock.com and sign in with your email and password. Tap or click the profile icon in the top right corner, then select Account Settings. Look for the section labeled Subscription or Manage Subscription — the exact wording varies slightly by device.

You will see your current plan (Premium, Premium Plus, or Free) and your next billing date. Select the option to cancel subscription. Peacock will ask whether you want to cancel when ready or at the end of your billing cycle. Choose one and confirm. You will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes.

Cancel a Peacock subscription through a third-party service

If you subscribed to Peacock as an add-on channel through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, or another streaming bundle, you cannot cancel through Peacock itself. You must cancel through the service where you signed up.

For Apple TV Channels: Open the Apple TV app, go to Account, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Peacock, and select Cancel Channel. For The Roku Channel: Open the app, go to Subscriptions, find Peacock, and select Manage. For Google Play: Go to your Google Play account, select Subscriptions, find Peacock, and select Cancel.

What happens after you cancel

If you chose when ready cancellation, your access ends right away. You will not be able to log in or watch any Peacock content. If you chose to cancel at the end of your billing cycle, you keep full access until that date arrives, then your account automatically stops working.

Peacock does not refund unused time. If you cancel on the first day of a monthly billing cycle, you lose the rest of that month's payment. Your account information stays in Peacock's system, so you can reactivate your subscription later by logging back in and choosing a new plan — you will not lose any saved preferences, watchlist items, or viewing history.

Reactivate your Peacock subscription later

If you change your mind after cancelling, log back into your Peacock account at any time. You will see an option to restart your subscription and choose a plan. You will be charged starting on the day you reactivate, and you will have full access to all content again.

Your watchlist, saved shows, and viewing history are still there. You do not need to create a new account or use a different email address. Peacock treats reactivation as a new subscription, so any promotional pricing you used before is no longer available unless Peacock is currently running that promotion again.

Troubleshooting cancellation problems

If the Cancel Subscription button does not appear in your Account Settings, you may be looking in the wrong section. Make sure you are in Account Settings, not just the general settings menu. On mobile apps, swipe left or right to find the correct tab. On the website, scroll down to see all options under your account.

If you subscribed through a third-party service and cannot find the cancellation option there, check your email for the original receipt or confirmation. It will tell you which service processed your payment. You can also contact that service's support team — they handle the cancellation, not Peacock. If you subscribed directly through Peacock and still cannot cancel, try logging out, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Peacock does not refund unused time in your current billing period. If you cancel on day five of a thirty-day cycle, you lose the remaining twenty-five days of payment. You can choose to cancel at the end of your cycle instead to avoid this.

Can I pause my Peacock subscription instead of cancelling?

Peacock does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and reactivate later.

How do I cancel if I forgot my password?

Go to the Peacock login page and select Forgot Password. Enter your email address and follow the reset link sent to your inbox. Once you reset your password, log in and follow the normal cancellation steps in Account Settings.

What if I subscribed through a family member's account?

Only the account holder can cancel the subscription. If someone else created the Peacock account and added you as a family member, ask them to log in and cancel it themselves. You cannot cancel a subscription you do not own.

Does cancelling Peacock delete my account?

No. Cancelling your subscription stops your payments and access to content, but your account stays active. Your email, password, watchlist, and viewing history remain in Peacock's system. You can log back in anytime to reactivate.
