How to cancel Paramount+ on your account
You can cancel Paramount+ through your account settings on the Paramount+ website or app. The process takes about two minutes and stops your subscription at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then your account closes.
Log in to your Paramount+ account, go to your profile or account settings (usually a gear icon or your name in the top right), and look for "Subscription" or "Billing." Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Plan," then confirm the cancellation. Paramount+ will show you the exact date your access ends.
If you signed up through a third-party platform — Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku — you must cancel through that platform instead, not through Paramount+ directly. Canceling on the Paramount+ site will not stop charges from your original payment method.
Key Takeaways
- Canceling through Paramount+ directly takes two minutes and stops charges at the end of your current billing period.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform, not the Paramount+ website.
- You keep full access to Paramount+ until your billing cycle ends, even after you cancel.
- Paramount+ does not offer refunds for partial months, but you can reactivate your subscription later without penalty.
Canceling a subscription you bought through a third-party platform
The steps differ depending on where you originally signed up. Paramount+ cannot process a cancellation if you subscribed through another service — you have to go back to that service to stop the charges.
Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Mac): Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount+, and tap "Cancel Subscription." On a Mac, open System Settings, click your name, then Subscriptions.
Google Play (Android): Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and Subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," choose Paramount+, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to your Amazon account, select "Your Memberships and Subscriptions," find Paramount+, and click "Cancel Channel." You keep Prime Video itself; only the Paramount+ add-on stops.
Roku: On your Roku device, go to Home, select Paramount+, press Options (the star button on your remote), choose "Manage Subscription," and select "Cancel."
What happens after you cancel
Your account remains active until the last day of your current billing cycle. If you paid on the 15th of the month, you can watch Paramount+ through the 14th of the next month, then lose access at midnight on the 15th. Paramount+ sends a reminder email a few days before your access ends.
You will not be charged again after cancellation. Paramount+ does not refund unused portions of your subscription — if you cancel on the 1st of a 30-day cycle, you have already paid for the full month and cannot get that money back.
Your watchlist, saved shows, and viewing history stay in your account for up to 10 months after cancellation. If you reactivate your subscription within that window, your profile returns exactly as you left it. After 10 months of inactivity, Paramount+ may delete your account data.
Reactivating your subscription later
You can turn your subscription back on at any time by logging into your account and selecting "Reactivate" or "Resume Subscription" from your account settings. There is no penalty for canceling and restarting — Paramount+ treats it as a new subscription, though your profile data may still be there if you reactivate within 10 months.
If you reactivate within a few days of cancellation, Paramount+ sometimes offers a discount or free trial as a retention offer. These offers are not may provide and vary by account.
Troubleshooting a cancellation that will not go through
If the "Cancel Subscription" button does not appear or the cancellation fails, check whether you subscribed directly through Paramount+ or through a third party. Many people think they canceled but actually only canceled through one platform while the other is still charging.
If you subscribed directly through Paramount+ and the button is missing, try logging out and back in, or use a different browser. Clear your browser cache if you are on a computer. If the problem persists, contact Paramount+ support through the "Help" section of your account — they can cancel manually and confirm the cancellation in writing.
If you are being charged after cancellation, check your credit card or payment method statement to see which company is charging you. If it is Paramount+, contact their support team with your billing date and the last charge amount. If it is Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku, contact that platform's support instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?
No. Paramount+ charges you for the full month or year upfront, and canceling partway through does not trigger a refund. You keep access through the end of your paid period, but you cannot recover the unused portion of your subscription.
What if I cancel but I am still being charged?
First, confirm where you subscribed — directly through Paramount+ or through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku. Check your payment method statement to see which company is charging you. Contact that company's support team with your billing date and charge amount. If Paramount+ is charging you after you canceled, they can reverse the charge if you canceled within a few days.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Paramount+ does not offer a pause feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop charges temporarily, you must cancel and reactivate later — there is no penalty for doing so.
Will I lose my watchlist and saved shows if I cancel?
Your watchlist and viewing history stay in your account for up to 10 months after cancellation. If you reactivate within that time, your profile returns as it was. After 10 months of inactivity, Paramount+ may delete your account data.
How do I cancel if I forgot my password?
Use the "Forgot Password" link on the Paramount+ login page to reset it, then log in and cancel normally. If you cannot access your email, contact Paramount+ support with your account details and they can help you regain access or cancel the account directly.
