How to cancel Paramount Plus
You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings on the Paramount Plus website or app, or through the platform where you signed up — Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or The Roku Channel. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep access until then. If you signed up directly through Paramount Plus, log in, go to Account Settings, select your plan, and click Cancel Subscription. If you subscribed through a third-party platform, you must cancel through that same platform, not through Paramount Plus itself.
The process takes less than five minutes. You will not be asked to confirm your reason for leaving or offered a discount to stay, though Paramount Plus may show you promotional offers before you complete the cancellation. Once you cancel, you lose access to all content the moment your billing cycle ends — there is no grace period after that date.
Key Takeaways
- Cancel through the same platform where you signed up: Paramount Plus directly, Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku.
- Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, so you can still watch until that date.
- Cancellation is permanent once your billing cycle ends — you cannot pause or freeze your account.
- If you signed up through a third-party platform, canceling on the Paramount Plus website will not work; you must cancel where you subscribed.
Canceling a subscription you started on Paramount Plus directly
Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser or the mobile app. On the website, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. On the mobile app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select Account Settings. Look for the section labeled Plan or Subscription.
Click or tap the option to view or manage your plan. You will see your current subscription level, your next billing date, and a button to cancel. Click Cancel Subscription. Paramount Plus will show you a summary of what you are losing access to and may display promotional offers to keep you subscribed. Click the button to confirm cancellation. You will receive a confirmation email with your cancellation date.
Canceling a subscription through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku
If you signed up through the Apple App Store, open the App Store app, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Google Play, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. Through Amazon Prime Video Channels, go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and click Cancel Channel. On Roku, go to Settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel.
Canceling through these platforms removes Paramount Plus from your account on that device or service, but does not automatically cancel if you also have a direct Paramount Plus subscription. If you pay for Paramount Plus in more than one way — for example, through both Apple and directly — you must cancel each subscription separately. Check your billing statements or account settings to confirm whether you have multiple active subscriptions.
What happens after you cancel
Your access to Paramount Plus continues until 11:59 p.m. on your next billing date. After that moment, you cannot log in or watch any content. Downloaded episodes or movies remain on your device but cannot be played without an active subscription. If you have a free trial that has not yet converted to a paid subscription, canceling ends the trial when ready and you lose access right away.
If you change your mind after canceling, you can resubscribe at any time. Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee. Your watchlist, saved shows, and viewing history remain in your account for up to 10 months after cancellation, so you can pick up where you left off if you return.
Canceling a free trial before it converts to paid
If you are on a free trial, cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged. The exact end date of your trial appears in your Account Settings under Plan. Set a reminder for a few days before that date so you do not forget. Canceling a free trial works the same way as canceling a paid subscription — go to Account Settings, select your plan, and click Cancel Subscription.
Some free trials are offered through third-party platforms like Amazon Prime Video Channels or Apple. If your trial came through one of those services, you must cancel through that platform, not through Paramount Plus directly. The cancellation takes effect when ready when you confirm, and you lose access to Paramount Plus right away — free trials do not have a grace period like paid subscriptions do.
Troubleshooting cancellation problems
If you cannot find the Cancel Subscription button, make sure you are logged into the correct account. Some households have multiple Paramount Plus accounts under different email addresses. Check your billing statements to confirm which email address is associated with the subscription you want to cancel, then log in with that email.
If you subscribed through a third-party platform but cannot find the cancellation option there, contact that platform's customer support — Apple Support, Google Play Support, Amazon Customer Service, or Roku Support — rather than Paramount Plus. Paramount Plus cannot cancel subscriptions that were created through other services. If you are unsure where you subscribed, check your credit card or bank statement for the charge; the merchant name will tell you whether it came from Paramount Plus, Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause my Paramount Plus subscription instead of canceling?
No, Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or freeze option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later. Your watchlist and history stay in your account for up to 10 months, so you can resume where you left off.
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-billing cycle?
No. Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for partial months. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, and you pay for the full cycle regardless of when you cancel. Cancel as soon as you know you will not use the service to avoid paying for an extra month.
What if I cancel but the charge still appears on my bill?
If you see a charge after your cancellation date has passed, you may have multiple subscriptions active. Check whether you subscribed through both Paramount Plus directly and a third-party platform like Apple or Amazon. You must cancel each one separately. If you have canceled all subscriptions and still see a charge, contact Paramount Plus customer support or the platform where the charge originated.
Can I cancel Paramount Plus through customer support instead of online?
Paramount Plus does not have a phone support line for cancellations. You must cancel through your account settings online or through the app. If you cannot access your account, use the password reset option to regain access, then proceed with cancellation. If you still cannot log in, contact Paramount Plus through their website chat or help center.
Do I lose my account if I cancel?
No. Your account remains active indefinitely after cancellation. Your watchlist, saved shows, and viewing history stay in your account for up to 10 months. You can resubscribe at any time and resume where you left off. After 10 months of inactivity, Paramount Plus may delete your account data, but you can create a new account with the same email address.
