Cancel Paramount Plus directly through the Roku channel

You can cancel Paramount Plus on Roku by going into the channel itself and ending your subscription from there. Open the Paramount Plus app on your Roku, go to your account settings (usually found in the menu or profile section), and look for a subscription or billing option. Select the option to cancel or manage your subscription, then follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.

The exact menu path varies slightly depending on your Roku model and the current version of the Paramount Plus app, but the subscription management option is always in the account area. When you cancel through the app, Paramount Plus stops your recurring charge immediately, though you typically keep access through the end of your current billing period.

Key Takeaways

  • Canceling through the Paramount Plus app on Roku is the fastest method and stops charges right away.
  • You retain access to Paramount Plus content until your current billing cycle ends, even after you cancel.
  • If you subscribed through Roku Pay or a third-party payment method, you may need to cancel through that platform instead of the app.
  • Keep your confirmation email or screenshot of the cancellation for your records in case of billing disputes.

Check how you originally paid for Paramount Plus

Before you cancel through the app, figure out which payment method you used when you signed up. If you subscribed directly to Paramount Plus and entered your credit card information, canceling through the app will work. If you subscribed through Roku Pay, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or another third-party service bundled with Roku, you need to cancel through that service instead.

Look at your bank or credit card statement to see who is charging you each month. The charge will say "Paramount Plus," "Roku," "Amazon," or another service name depending on your setup. This tells you exactly where to go to stop the charge.

Cancel through Roku Pay if that's your payment method

If Paramount Plus is charged through Roku Pay, you cannot cancel it from within the Paramount Plus app. Instead, go to your Roku account settings on the Roku device or on the Roku website, find the Roku Pay or subscriptions section, and cancel Paramount Plus from there. This prevents Roku from billing you while keeping your Paramount Plus account intact until your current period ends.

To do this on the device itself, go to Settings, then Accounts, then Subscriptions. You should see Paramount Plus listed with an option to cancel or manage it. Confirm the cancellation, and Roku stops charging you on your next billing date.

Cancel through a third-party channel if you subscribed that way

If you added Paramount Plus as a channel through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV Channels, or another bundled service, you must cancel through that platform, not through Roku or the Paramount Plus app. Log into your Amazon, Apple, or other account on a computer or phone, find your subscriptions or channel memberships, and remove Paramount Plus from there.

Canceling through the wrong platform leaves your subscription active and your charges continuing. The third-party service is the middleman between you and Paramount Plus, so they control the billing and cancellation.

What happens after you cancel

Once you cancel, Paramount Plus stops charging you on your next billing date. You keep full access to the service until that date arrives — you do not lose the ability to watch immediately. After your current period ends, the app may remain on your Roku, but you will not be able to log in or stream content.

If you change your mind before your billing period ends, you can resubscribe at any time. Paramount Plus does not charge a reactivation fee, and you start a new billing cycle from the day you resubscribe.

Save your cancellation confirmation

After you complete the cancellation, take a screenshot or note the date and time. Paramount Plus should send you a confirmation email within a few minutes. Keep this email in case your account is charged again by mistake or if you need proof that you canceled on a specific date.

If you are charged after your cancellation date, contact Paramount Plus customer service with your confirmation email. They can issue a refund or credit for the erroneous charge. Having documentation makes the dispute faster to resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. You keep full access through the end of your current billing period. If your next charge date is in two weeks, you can watch Paramount Plus for those two weeks before losing access. After that date passes, you cannot log in.

Can I cancel Paramount Plus through the Roku website instead of the device?

If you subscribed through Roku Pay, yes — you can cancel through your Roku account on roku.com. If you subscribed directly to Paramount Plus, you may need to cancel through the Paramount Plus website or app instead. Check your payment method to know which route to use.

What if I subscribed to Paramount Plus before adding it to Roku?

If you had a Paramount Plus account and then added the app to Roku, your subscription is still tied to your Paramount Plus account, not to Roku. Cancel through the Paramount Plus app on Roku or through the Paramount Plus website. Removing the app from Roku does not cancel your subscription.

Can I pause my Paramount Plus subscription instead of canceling it?

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