Delete your Peacock account through your account settings

To delete your Peacock account, log in to your account on the Peacock website or app, go to your account settings, and look for the option to close or delete your account. The exact location varies slightly depending on whether you are using the web version or the mobile app, but the process takes about five minutes and requires you to confirm your choice before the deletion is final.

Peacock will ask you to state a reason for leaving — this is optional feedback, not a barrier to deletion. Once you confirm, your account and all saved preferences, watchlist items, and viewing history are removed. You cannot undo this action, so make sure you want to proceed before you click the final confirmation button.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Peacock account on the website or app and navigate to account settings to find the delete account option.
  • Peacock will ask you to confirm your choice and may ask why you are leaving, but this feedback is optional.
  • Deletion is permanent — your account, watchlist, and viewing history cannot be recovered after you confirm.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple or Google Play, you may need to cancel that subscription separately to stop being charged.
  • Free Peacock accounts delete when ready, but paid accounts may take a few days to fully process the deletion.

Steps to delete on the Peacock website

Open Peacock.com in your browser and sign in with your email and password. Click on your profile icon or account menu, usually located in the top right corner of the page. Select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Scroll down to find the option labeled "Delete Account," "Close Account," or "Deactivate Account." Click it and read the warning that appears — Peacock will remind you that deletion is permanent and that you will lose access to any saved content or preferences. Click the button to confirm deletion, and Peacock will ask you to verify your choice one more time by entering your password or confirming via email.

Steps to delete on the Peacock mobile app

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Select "Settings" from the menu. Scroll down until you see "Account" or "Account Settings" and tap it.

Look for "Delete Account" or "Close Account" near the bottom of the account settings page. Tap it, read the confirmation message, and tap the button to proceed. The app will ask you to confirm your password or verify your identity through email before the deletion goes through. Once you confirm, your account is scheduled for deletion.

What happens to your subscription if you paid for Peacock

If you have a paid Peacock subscription, deleting your account stops your access to the service when ready, but you may still be charged for your next billing cycle depending on when you delete. Check your billing date before you delete — if your next charge is more than a few days away, you might want to wait until after that date to avoid paying for a service you will not use.

If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, deleting your Peacock account does not automatically cancel that subscription. You will need to cancel the subscription through the service you used to pay — for example, go to your Apple ID settings to cancel an Apple subscription, or your Google Play account to cancel a Google Play subscription. Otherwise, you will continue to be charged even though you no longer have a Peacock account.

How to cancel without deleting if you want to keep your account

If you do not want to delete your account but want to stop paying, you can cancel your subscription instead. Log into your account settings, find "Subscription" or "Billing," and select "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade to Free." This keeps your account active so you can return later without losing your watchlist or preferences, but you will lose access to paid content.

Peacock offers a free tier with ads, so canceling your paid subscription downgrades you to the free version rather than removing your account entirely. You can resubscribe at any time if you change your mind.

What to do if you cannot find the delete option

If you have looked through your account settings and cannot find a delete account button, your account may have been created through a third-party service like Comcast, Apple, or Amazon. In that case, you may need to delete your account through that service instead of through Peacock directly.

Check the website or app where you originally signed up for Peacock. If you signed up through Comcast Xfinity, for example, you would manage your account through the Xfinity website. If you still cannot locate the option, contact Peacock support through the help section of the app or website — they can tell you where to go based on how your account was created.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my account back after I delete it?

No. Peacock deletion is permanent. Once you confirm, your account, watchlist, viewing history, and any saved preferences are gone and cannot be recovered. If you think you might return to Peacock later, consider canceling your subscription instead of deleting your account.

Will I be charged after I delete my account?

Deleting your Peacock account stops your access when ready, but if your next billing date is within a few days, you may be charged one more time. If you subscribed through a third-party service, you must cancel that subscription separately or you will continue to be charged.

How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?

Free accounts are deleted right away. Paid accounts may take a few days to fully process. During this time, you will not be able to log in, but Peacock may still send you a confirmation email.

What is the difference between deleting my account and canceling my subscription?

Canceling your subscription stops your paid access but keeps your account active so you can return later without losing your watchlist. Deleting your account removes everything permanently. If you are unsure whether you will return, cancel first.

Do I need to delete my account if I signed up through Comcast or another service?

You may need to delete it through the service you used to sign up. If you created your Peacock account through Comcast Xfinity, Apple, or Amazon, check that service's account settings first. Peacock support can tell you which route applies to your account.
