Finding Your Active Subscriptions on Roku

To see what subscriptions are active on your Roku device, go to the home screen and select Settings in the top-right corner. From there, choose Accounts, then Subscriptions. Roku will display every subscription tied to your account—including streaming services, premium channels, and add-ons you've purchased through the Roku platform.

This list shows subscriptions you've bought directly through Roku, not subscriptions you manage through other apps. For example, if you have a Peacock account that you pay for through Peacock's own website or app, it won't appear in this Roku subscriptions list. But if you purchased Peacock through Roku's channel store, it will show here.

The subscriptions screen also tells you the renewal date for each service and how much you're paying. This is the fastest way to catch subscriptions you may have forgotten about or to confirm which ones are currently active.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Roku subscriptions list shows only services you purchased through Roku's channel store, not subscriptions managed directly through other apps or websites.
  • You can find your subscriptions by going to Settings > Accounts > Subscriptions on your Roku home screen.
  • The subscriptions screen displays your renewal date and the amount you pay for each service.
  • Canceling a subscription through Roku's system stops the charge on your Roku account but does not affect subscriptions you manage elsewhere.
  • Some channels like Peacock may let you sign in with an existing account instead of purchasing through Roku, which means they won't appear in your Roku subscriptions list.

The Difference Between Roku Subscriptions and App Subscriptions

Roku subscriptions and subscriptions within individual apps are two separate things. When you buy a subscription through Roku's channel store, Roku handles the billing and renewal. When you sign into an app like Peacock with your own account credentials, you're using a subscription you manage directly with that service.

This matters because canceling a Roku subscription won't cancel your Peacock account if you signed up for Peacock independently. You would need to cancel Peacock through Peacock's website or app settings instead. The Roku subscriptions list only tracks what you've paid for through Roku itself.

Some channels offer both options. You might see Peacock available as a purchasable channel in Roku's store, or you might open the Peacock app and sign in with an account you already have. If you choose the second route, Roku won't see that subscription.

Canceling a Subscription Through Roku

If you want to stop a subscription you bought through Roku, go back to Settings > Accounts > Subscriptions and find the service you want to cancel. Select it and choose Cancel Subscription. Roku will confirm the cancellation and tell you when your access ends—usually at the end of your current billing period.

After you cancel, you won't be charged again, but you'll keep access until the renewal date passes. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of the month but your renewal date is the 30th, you can still use the service until the 30th.

Keep in mind that canceling through Roku only stops the Roku charge. If you also have a direct subscription with that service (like a Peacock account you pay for on Peacock's website), you'll need to cancel that separately through the service's own website or app.

Checking Subscription Details and Renewal Dates

Each subscription in your Roku list shows the renewal date, the price per billing period, and sometimes a description of what's included. Tap on any subscription to see more details. This is useful if you're trying to remember exactly when you'll be charged next or how much the subscription costs.

Roku also displays the payment method associated with each subscription. If you've changed your credit card or payment information, make sure Roku has your current details so your subscriptions don't fail to renew.

What to Do If You Don't See a Subscription You're Paying For

If you're paying for a streaming service but don't see it in your Roku subscriptions list, it's likely because you're not paying through Roku. Check whether you signed up directly with the service instead. Log into Peacock's website or open the Peacock app on another device and look for account settings or billing information there.

You can also check your credit card or bank statement to see which company is charging you. If Peacock is listed there, you're paying Peacock directly, not through Roku. To manage that subscription, you'll need to go to Peacock's website or use the Peacock app's settings menu.

If you're certain you bought a subscription through Roku but it's not showing up, contact Roku support. There may be a technical issue, or the subscription may have been removed from the Roku channel store.

Managing Multiple Roku Accounts and Subscriptions

If your Roku device is linked to multiple accounts, each account has its own subscription list. The subscriptions you see depend on which account you're signed into. If someone else in your household set up a subscription under their account, it won't appear when you log in under yours.

To switch accounts on your Roku, go to Settings > Accounts and select a different account. You'll then see that account's subscriptions. This is helpful if you want to check what everyone in your household is paying for or if you need to cancel a subscription tied to a specific account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see all my streaming subscriptions in one place on Roku?

No. Roku only shows subscriptions you purchased through Roku's channel store. Subscriptions you manage directly with services like Peacock, Netflix, or Disney+ won't appear unless you bought them through Roku. You'll need to check each service's website or app separately to see all your subscriptions.

If I cancel a subscription on Roku, will I lose access when ready?

No. You'll keep access until your current billing period ends. Roku shows you the exact date when your access will stop. After that date, you won't be able to use the service unless you renew.

Why does Peacock show up in my Roku channel store but I don't see it in my subscriptions?

You probably signed into Peacock with an existing account instead of purchasing it through Roku. When you sign in with your own credentials, Peacock doesn't appear in Roku's subscriptions list because you're managing the subscription directly with Peacock, not through Roku.

Can I change my payment method for a Roku subscription?

Yes. Go to Settings > Accounts > Payment Methods and update your credit card or payment information there. This will explore to all your Roku subscriptions that use that payment method.

What happens if my payment method fails when a subscription tries to renew?

Roku will attempt to charge you again, usually a few times over several days. If all attempts fail, your subscription will be paused or canceled. You'll receive a notification. To restore access, update your payment method and renew the subscription manually through the subscriptions menu.
