Deleting your Peacock account removes all your data from the service

To delete your Peacock account, you log into your account on the Peacock website or app, go to your account settings, find the option to close or delete your account, and confirm the deletion. The process takes a few minutes. Once you confirm, Peacock stops charging you and removes your viewing history, saved shows, and profile information from their servers.

Deletion is permanent — you cannot recover a deleted account. If you think you might want to return later, you can pause your subscription instead, which keeps your account and data intact while stopping charges.

Key Takeaways

  • You must log into your Peacock account through the website or app to delete it; you cannot delete an account by email or phone.
  • Deletion removes your viewing history, saved shows, watchlists, and all profile data permanently.
  • If you have an active paid subscription, deletion stops all charges when ready.
  • Pausing your subscription is a reversible alternative if you want to keep your account but stop paying.

Steps to delete your account on the Peacock website

Open a web browser and go to peacocktv.com. Log in with your email address and password. Once you are logged in, look for your account menu — this is usually in the top right corner of the page, often shown as your profile picture or initials.

Click on your profile menu and select "Account" or "Settings." Look for an option labeled "Delete Account," "Close Account," or "Cancel Membership." Click it. Peacock will show you a confirmation screen explaining that deletion is permanent and will list what will be removed (your profile, watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences). Read through this carefully, then click the button to confirm deletion. Your account is now deleted.

Deleting your account through the Peacock mobile app

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and log in if you are not already. Tap the profile icon, usually in the bottom right corner of the screen. Select "Account" or "Settings" from the menu that appears.

Scroll down to find "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Tap it. The app will show the same confirmation message as the website version. Confirm that you want to delete your account by tapping the final confirmation button. The app will log you out and your account will be deleted.

What happens to your subscription when you delete your account

If you have an active paid Peacock subscription, deletion stops all charges when ready. You will not be billed again. If you paid for a subscription through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, you may need to cancel that subscription separately through that service to prevent future charges — deleting your Peacock account alone does not cancel a third-party subscription.

Check your payment method's billing history to confirm no further charges appear. If you see a charge after deletion, contact your payment provider or Peacock's support team to dispute it.

The difference between deleting and pausing your account

Deletion removes everything permanently. Pausing keeps your account, profile, watchlist, and viewing history intact but stops charges. If you pause, you can return and resume your subscription later without losing any data.

To pause instead of delete, go to your account settings and look for "Pause Subscription" or "Pause Membership" rather than "Delete Account." This option is useful if you plan to return to Peacock in a few months or want to keep your account active without paying.

If you cannot find the delete option

Some accounts, particularly those created through third-party services like Apple or Amazon, may not show a delete option in the standard account settings. If you cannot find "Delete Account" after checking both the website and app, try logging in through peacocktv.com directly rather than through the third-party app.

If the delete option still does not appear, contact Peacock's support team through the help section of the website or app. They can walk you through deletion or delete the account for you. Response times vary, but support typically replies within one to two business days.

What to do if you are charged after deleting your account

If you see a charge from Peacock after you deleted your account, the charge likely occurred before the deletion processed or came from a third-party subscription you did not cancel separately. Log into your payment method's account (your credit card company, Apple, Google Play, or Amazon) and check the transaction date and description.

If the charge is recent and you deleted your account, contact your payment provider and request a refund, explaining that you deleted your Peacock account. Most providers will refund a charge within 24 to 48 hours if you request it within 30 to 60 days of the charge. Keep a record of your deletion confirmation in case you need to show proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Peacock account if I still have a free trial active?

Yes. Deleting your account works the same way whether you have a free trial, paid subscription, or no active subscription. Deletion removes your account and all associated data when ready.

Will deleting my Peacock account delete my NBC.com account or other NBC services?

No. Peacock and NBC.com are separate services with separate accounts. Deleting your Peacock account does not affect your NBC.com login or any other NBC service you use.

Can I use the same email address to create a new Peacock account after deleting the old one?

Yes. After deletion, you can sign up for a new Peacock account using the same email address. The new account will start fresh with no history or data from the deleted account.

What if I delete my account by mistake?

Peacock does not restore deleted accounts. If you deleted by mistake, you will need to create a new account with the same or a different email address. You will lose any saved shows, watchlist, and viewing history from the old account.

Do I need to delete my account to stop being charged, or can I just cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription without deleting your account. Cancellation stops charges and keeps your account and data. Deletion removes everything. Choose cancellation if you might return; choose deletion if you want your data removed.
