How to unsubscribe from Peacock
You can cancel your Peacock subscription through your account settings on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. The process takes about two minutes and stops your charges when ready if you cancel before your next billing date. If you signed up through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, you'll need to cancel through that service instead of Peacock's website.
Your access ends on your current billing cycle's final day. You won't lose your account right away — you can log back in and resubscribe at any time without losing your watchlist or viewing history. Peacock stores your preferences indefinitely, so there's no rush to decide whether cancellation is permanent.
Key Takeaways
- Cancel directly through Peacock's website or app by going to Account Settings, then Subscription, then selecting Cancel Subscription.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform instead.
- Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, even after you cancel.
- You can resubscribe at any time, and your watchlist and viewing history will still be there.
- Peacock does not offer refunds for unused subscription time, but you are not charged again after cancellation.
Cancel through Peacock's website
Log into your Peacock account on a web browser and select your profile icon in the top right corner. Click Account from the dropdown menu.
On the Account page, find the Subscription section. Click Manage Subscription or Change Plan depending on what appears. Select Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the subscription details. Peacock will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with cancellation.
You'll receive a confirmation email. Your subscription remains active through the end of your current billing cycle. The confirmation will show your final access date so you know exactly when your paid content becomes unavailable.
Cancel through the Peacock app on your phone or tablet
Open the Peacock app and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner. Select Account.
Tap Subscription, then tap Manage Subscription. Select Cancel Subscription and confirm. The app will show you your final billing date before you complete the cancellation.
The mobile app process is identical whether you're on iPhone, iPad, or Android. After you confirm, you'll see a cancellation confirmation screen, and Peacock will send you an email receipt within a few minutes.
Cancel if you subscribed through a third-party service
If you signed up for Peacock through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or another platform, you cannot cancel through Peacock itself. You must cancel through the service where you originally subscribed. Attempting to cancel through Peacock's website or app won't work — the system will direct you back to the third-party platform.
| Service | Where to Cancel |
|---|---|
| Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac) | Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel Subscription |
| Google Play (Android) | Google Play app > Account > Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel Subscription |
| Amazon Prime Video Channels | Prime Video app > Account > Your Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel Channel |
| Roku | Roku home screen > Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel |
Each platform processes cancellations at different speeds, but most complete within 24 hours. You'll receive a confirmation from both the platform and Peacock. If you don't see a confirmation email from Peacock within a day, log into your account to verify the cancellation went through.
What happens after you cancel
Your Peacock account stays open, but you lose access to paid content on your final billing date. Free content (if Peacock offers it in your region) may still be available, though this varies by location and changes over time. Your watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences remain stored in your account indefinitely.
If you resubscribe later, you'll see everything exactly as you left it. There's no penalty for cancelling and coming back, and Peacock doesn't require you to wait any length of time before resubscribing. You can cancel today and restart your subscription tomorrow if you choose.
If you're having trouble cancelling
If the Cancel Subscription button doesn't appear or you get an error message, try logging out completely and logging back in. Clear your browser's cache if you're using a web browser, or uninstall and reinstall the app if you're on a phone or tablet. Sometimes the interface doesn't load correctly on the first try.
If the problem persists and you subscribed directly through Peacock, contact Peacock's support team through the Help section in your Account settings. If you subscribed through a third party, contact that platform's support — they handle the subscription on Peacock's behalf and can see whether the cancellation request was received.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my watchlist and saved shows if I cancel?
No. Your watchlist, viewing history, and account preferences stay saved. When you resubscribe, everything will be there waiting for you exactly as you left it.
Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?
Peacock does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to stay subscribed or cancel. You can resubscribe whenever you want without penalty or waiting period.
When does my access end after I cancel?
Your access continues through the last day of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until your next billing date would have occurred. Your confirmation email will show the exact final date.
Do I get a refund if I cancel before my billing date?
Peacock does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Your access ends at the end of your current billing period, but you are not charged again after cancellation.
What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?
Some cable and phone providers bundle Peacock as part of their service. Contact your provider's customer service to remove Peacock from your account — you cannot cancel it through Peacock itself or through the Peacock app.
