Cancel Paramount Plus in Your Account Settings

To cancel Paramount Plus, log into your account on the Paramount Plus website or app, go to your account settings, find the subscription or billing section, and select the option to cancel. The exact wording and location varies slightly depending on whether you're using the website, the mobile app, or a smart TV app, but the cancellation option is always in your account settings, not buried in a help menu.

You'll typically see a button or link that says "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or "Billing." Click it, and Paramount Plus will show you your current plan, what you're paying, and when your next billing date is. The system will then ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can accept or decline.

Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. If you paid for a month on the 15th, you can watch until the 15th of next month, even after you cancel today. Paramount Plus does not refund the portion of the month you've already paid for.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancellation happens in your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, not through customer service.
  • Your access continues through the end of your current billing period, so you don't lose the time you've paid for.
  • Paramount Plus may offer a discount or lower price to keep you subscribed — you can take it or proceed with cancellation.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or another third-party platform, you may need to cancel through that platform instead.

Cancellation Through Third-Party Platforms

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or another platform, you must cancel through that same platform, not through Paramount Plus itself. Canceling on the Paramount Plus website won't work if your subscription is tied to a third-party account.

For Apple subscriptions, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play, open the Google Play app, go to your account, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video Channels, log into your Amazon account, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel Channel.

If you're unsure which platform you used, check your email for the confirmation receipt from when you first subscribed. The receipt will show whether the charge came from Paramount Plus directly, Apple, Google, Amazon, or another service.

What Happens After You Cancel

After you cancel, you can continue watching Paramount Plus until your current billing period ends. You won't be charged again. Your saved shows, watchlist, and viewing history remain in your account for 12 months, so if you resubscribe later, your profile will be there.

Once your billing period ends and you lose access, you can resubscribe at any time. There's no penalty for canceling and returning later, and Paramount Plus sometimes offers promotional rates to returning subscribers.

If You Can't Find the Cancellation Option

If you've logged into your account and cannot find the cancellation button, you may be looking in the wrong section. On the website, go to your account profile (usually a gear icon or your name in the top right), then look for "Account," "Subscription," "Billing," or "Plan." On the mobile app, the same sections are usually under a profile or settings icon.

If the cancellation option still doesn't appear, contact Paramount Plus customer support through the help section of the website or app. They can cancel your subscription for you, though it's faster to do it yourself through your account settings.

Pausing Instead of Canceling

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or temporary suspension option. You either keep your subscription active or you cancel it. If you want to stop paying but think you might return in a few months, canceling is your only choice — there's no middle ground.

Some streaming services offer pause features, but Paramount Plus is not one of them. If you're considering canceling because you've run out of things to watch, remember that new content is added regularly, so you might find something worth watching in a month or two.

Refunds and Billing Questions

Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel on the 5th of the month but paid for the full month on the 1st, you keep access through the end of the month but won't receive a refund for the days after cancellation.

If you were charged twice in one month, or if you see a charge you don't recognize, contact Paramount Plus support with your billing statement. They can review the charge and issue a refund if it was an error. Keep your receipt or billing confirmation handy when you contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel anytime, or do I have to wait until my billing date?

You can cancel anytime. Your access continues through the end of your current billing period regardless of when you cancel. If you cancel on day 1 of a 30-day month, you still have access for the full 30 days.

Will I lose my watchlist and saved shows if I cancel?

No. Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history stay in your account for 12 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that year, everything is still there. After 12 months of inactivity, Paramount Plus may delete your profile.

What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?

If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, satellite, or phone plan, you don't cancel it through Paramount Plus. Contact your provider's customer service and ask them to remove Paramount Plus from your account. They handle the cancellation on their end.

Can I get a refund if I cancel before my billing date?

No. Paramount Plus does not refund the unused portion of your subscription. You keep access through the end of your paid period, but no money is returned if you cancel early.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

After you confirm cancellation in your account settings, you should see a confirmation message on screen. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Paramount Plus. You can also log back into your account and check your subscription status to confirm it shows as canceled.
