Cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings

Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser or the mobile app. Go to your account settings — usually found under your profile icon or menu. Look for a section labeled "Subscription," "Billing," or "Plan." You will see your current subscription listed with a button or link to cancel. Click it, and the system will ask you to confirm. Paramount Plus will stop charging you at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately.

The cancellation takes effect on your next billing date. If you paid for a month on the 15th, you keep access until the 15th of the next month. If you paid annually, you keep access until your annual renewal date. You will receive a confirmation email after you cancel.

Key Takeaways

  • You can cancel Paramount Plus directly through your account settings on the website or app without calling customer service.
  • Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period — cancellation does not cut off access immediately.
  • If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, or Google Play, you must cancel through that service instead of Paramount Plus.
  • Paramount Plus will send you a confirmation email after you cancel, and you can resubscribe at any time.

Cancel a subscription purchased through a third-party platform

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you cannot cancel through Paramount Plus itself. You must cancel through the platform where you made the purchase.

For Apple: Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, choose Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Prime Video Settings, choose Manage Your Prime Video Subscription, and select Cancel Subscription. For Roku: Go to your Roku account settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Once your billing cycle ends, you lose access to all Paramount Plus content. You cannot watch shows, movies, or live TV. Your watchlist and viewing history are saved for 12 months, so if you resubscribe within that time, your account will look the same as when you left.

You can resubscribe at any time by logging back into your account or signing up as a new user. There is no penalty for canceling and returning later. Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or freeze option — you either maintain your subscription or cancel it.

Canceling a free trial before being charged

If you are on a free trial, you must cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged. Log into your account and go to your subscription settings. You will see the date your trial ends and when you will be charged. Click cancel, and you will keep access to Paramount Plus until that date. After the trial ends, your account closes and you lose access.

Paramount Plus sends reminder emails before your trial ends, but these are easy to miss. Check your subscription settings directly if you are unsure when your trial expires. Canceling a free trial works the same way as canceling a paid subscription — you keep access until the end of the trial period.

Refunds and billing issues after cancellation

Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for partial months or unused time. If you cancel on the 20th of a month and your billing date is the 30th, you keep access until the 30th but receive no refund for those 10 days. You only pay for the full month.

If you were charged after canceling, contact Paramount Plus customer service through your account settings or the help section of the website. Keep your cancellation confirmation email as proof. If you subscribed through a third party and were charged after canceling through that platform, contact the third-party service — Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku — not Paramount Plus directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access to Paramount Plus immediately after I cancel?

No. You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you still have access for the rest of that month. Your access ends on your next billing date.

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

Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for unused time within a billing cycle. You pay for the full month or year regardless of when you cancel. You only avoid future charges by canceling before your next billing date.

What if I cancel through the app but get charged again?

Check where you originally subscribed. If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform, not the Paramount Plus app. Canceling in the app alone does not stop charges if your subscription is linked to a third-party service.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or freeze option. You either keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later.

How do I resubscribe after canceling?

Log back into your Paramount Plus account or sign up as a new user. Your watchlist and viewing history remain saved for 12 months after cancellation. You can start watching immediately after resubscribing.
