Cancel a channel through your Prime Video account settings

To cancel a Prime Video channel, go to your Amazon account, select Prime Video from the menu, then choose Your Subscriptions. Find the channel you want to cancel in the list — channels like Paramount+, MGM+, or Starz appear separately from your main Prime membership. Click or tap the channel name, then select Cancel Channel. Amazon will ask you to confirm; once you do, the channel stops at the end of your current billing cycle.

The channel remains in your account until that final date, so you can still watch it through the end of the period you paid for. After cancellation, you lose access to that channel's content, but your Prime Video membership and all other Prime benefits stay active. If you change your mind before the cancellation takes effect, you can resubscribe to the same channel from the same menu.

Key Takeaways

  • Prime Video channels cancel individually through Your Subscriptions in your Prime Video settings, separate from canceling Prime itself.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately, so you keep access until that date.
  • Canceling a channel does not affect your Prime membership, other Prime benefits, or other channels you subscribe to.
  • You can resubscribe to a canceled channel at any time from the same menu where you canceled it.

Where to find your channel subscriptions on different devices

On a web browser, log into Amazon.com, hover over Account & Lists in the top right, and select Your Account. Click Prime Video Settings, then Subscriptions. On a Fire TV device, go to Your Apps and Channels, select Subscriptions, find the channel, and press the menu button to cancel. On an iPhone or iPad, open the Prime Video app, tap Menu (the three lines), scroll to Your Subscriptions, and select the channel to cancel.

Android phones work similarly: open the Prime Video app, tap Menu, go to Your Subscriptions, and select the channel. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store instead of directly through Amazon, you must cancel through that store's settings, not through Prime Video itself — this is a common source of confusion. Check your device's app store subscription settings if you cannot find the channel listed in Prime Video.

What happens to your content and billing after cancellation

Once your cancellation takes effect on the billing date, you lose the ability to watch that channel's content through Prime Video. Any shows or movies you added to your watchlist from that channel become unwatchable, though the titles stay in your list. You are not charged again unless you manually resubscribe.

If you cancel mid-cycle by mistake, you cannot get a refund for the unused portion — Amazon does not prorate partial months. However, you can resubscribe immediately if you want to keep watching, and your next charge will be a full month from the resubscription date. Some channels offer free trial periods when you resubscribe, though this varies by channel and your account history.

Canceling channels you subscribed to through third-party apps

If you subscribed to a Prime Video channel through Apple's App Store, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not through Amazon. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find the channel, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find the channel, and tap Cancel Subscription.

Amazon cannot cancel subscriptions you purchased through these stores because the payment goes directly to Apple or Google, not to Amazon. If you are unsure where you subscribed, check your email for receipts from Apple, Google, or Amazon — the sender tells you where the charge originated. Canceling through the wrong place will not work, so matching the receipt to the correct store is important.

Resubscribing to a channel you canceled

You can resubscribe to any channel you canceled by going back to Your Subscriptions in Prime Video and selecting the channel again. The channel will appear with a Subscribe button instead of a Cancel button. Your next charge will be a full month from the resubscription date, not from your original billing cycle.

Some channels offer promotional pricing or free trials for returning subscribers, though this is not may provide. If you canceled recently and want to return, it is worth checking whether a trial or discount is available before you resubscribe at full price. Pricing and trial offers change frequently and vary by account, so there is no way to know without looking at the channel's page.

Difference between canceling a channel and canceling Prime Video entirely

Canceling a single Prime Video channel stops only that channel's subscription and does not affect your Prime membership. You keep Prime Video itself, all other channels you subscribe to, and all other Prime benefits like free shipping and Prime Music. If you want to cancel your entire Prime membership instead, that is a separate process done through Your Account > Memberships and Subscriptions > Prime Membership.

Many people cancel individual channels when they finish watching a show or want to reduce spending, but keep Prime for the other benefits. If you are trying to cancel only one channel, make sure you are in the Subscriptions section of Prime Video, not in your main Prime membership settings, or you may accidentally cancel Prime itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I cancel a channel mid-cycle?

No. Amazon does not refund unused portions of a subscription month. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, and you keep access until that date, but you cannot receive money back for the days remaining. If you cancel immediately after being charged, you still have the full month to use the channel.

Will canceling a channel affect my Prime shipping or other Prime benefits?

No. Canceling a Prime Video channel does not touch your Prime membership or any other Prime benefit. Your free shipping, Prime Music, Prime Reading, and all other benefits continue unchanged. Only that specific channel's content becomes unavailable.

What if I subscribed to a channel through my phone but want to cancel on my computer?

If you subscribed directly through Amazon (not through Apple or Google), you can cancel from any device by logging into your account and going to Your Subscriptions. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that same store's settings, regardless of which device you use now.

Do I lose my watchlist items when I cancel a channel?

Your watchlist items stay in your list, but titles from a canceled channel become unwatchable. If you resubscribe to that channel later, you can watch them again. The titles do not disappear from your list unless you manually remove them.

Can I cancel multiple channels at once?

No. You must cancel each channel individually through Your Subscriptions. There is no bulk cancellation option, so if you subscribe to several channels, you will need to go through the cancellation process for each one separately.
