You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings or by contacting customer service, and the process takes a few minutes

Paramount Plus lets you stop your subscription at any time without penalty. You won't lose access immediately — you'll keep watching until the end of your current billing cycle, then your account closes. The cancellation itself happens in your account settings online, though you can also call or chat with support if you run into trouble or want to pause instead of canceling outright.

The exact steps depend on whether you signed up directly with Paramount Plus or through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider. Each route has a different cancellation process, and canceling through one doesn't cancel through the other.

Key Takeaways

  • Direct Paramount Plus subscriptions cancel through your account settings under "Billing & Payments," and you keep access through the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or Roku, you must cancel through that service's app or website, not through Paramount Plus itself.
  • You can pause your subscription for up to three months instead of canceling, which holds your account and settings without charging you.
  • Paramount Plus customer service can process cancellations by phone or chat if you can't do it yourself, and they cannot reverse a cancellation after it's complete.

Cancel a direct Paramount Plus subscription online

Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser or the mobile app. Go to your account menu (usually your profile icon in the top right or top left) and select "Account" or "Settings." Look for "Billing & Payments" or "Subscription" — the exact wording varies by app version.

Click or tap "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription." Paramount Plus will ask why you're leaving and may offer you a discount to stay. You can skip this and continue to cancellation. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your account will close at the end of your current billing cycle, and you'll receive a confirmation email with your final billing date.

Cancel a subscription through Apple, Amazon, or another platform

If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or Roku, you cannot cancel through Paramount Plus itself. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed.

Apple (App Store or Apple TV Channels): Open the Apple TV app or Settings app on your device. Go to Account > Subscriptions > Paramount Plus and tap "Cancel Subscription." On a web browser, visit appleid.apple.com, select "Subscriptions," find Paramount Plus, and click "Cancel."

Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Prime Video account settings on amazon.com. Select "Manage Your Prime Video Subscription" and click "Cancel Subscription." On the Prime Video app, go to Account > Your Subscriptions > Manage Subscriptions and select Cancel for Paramount Plus.

Google Play: Open the Google Play app on your Android device. Tap your profile icon, select "Payments & Subscriptions," then "Subscriptions." Find Paramount Plus and tap "Cancel Subscription."

Roku: On your Roku device, go to Home > Subscriptions. Find Paramount Plus and select "Manage Subscription" > "Cancel Subscription."

Pause instead of cancel if you might return

Paramount Plus lets you pause your subscription for up to three months without losing your profile, watchlist, or viewing history. When you pause, you won't be charged, and your account stays frozen at the pause date. This is useful if you want to step away temporarily but plan to come back.

To pause, go to Account > Billing & Payments > Manage Subscription and select "Pause Subscription" instead of "Cancel Subscription." You'll choose how long to pause (up to three months), and Paramount Plus will email you when the pause is about to end so you can resume or cancel before being charged again.

What happens after you cancel

You keep full access to Paramount Plus until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th and your billing date is the 25th, you watch until the 25th at no extra charge. After that date, your account closes and you lose access to all content.

Paramount Plus does not refund unused time in your billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you don't get a prorated refund for the days you won't use. Your payment for that cycle is final.

If you cancel and want to rejoin later, you can sign back up anytime. Your old profile and watchlist are gone — you'll start fresh with a new account. Paramount Plus does not restore old accounts or data after cancellation.

Contact Paramount Plus customer service if you need help

If you can't find the cancel option, your account is locked, or you have questions about your final bill, Paramount Plus customer service can help. You can reach them through the app or website by going to Help > Contact Us. They offer chat and phone support, though wait times vary.

Customer service can process a cancellation for you over the phone or chat, but they cannot undo a cancellation after it's complete. If you canceled by mistake, you'll need to sign up again as a new account. Some representatives may offer a discount to keep you, but this is not may provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused time in your billing cycle. If you cancel on any day other than your billing date, you lose that prorated amount. You keep access through the end of the cycle, but no money comes back.

Can I cancel and rejoin without losing my watchlist?

No. When you cancel, your account and all its data — watchlist, viewing history, profiles — are deleted. If you rejoin later, you start with a blank account. Paramount Plus does not restore old accounts.

What's the difference between pausing and canceling?

Pausing freezes your account for up to three months without charging you, and your profile and watchlist stay intact. Canceling closes your account permanently, deletes your data, and ends your access at the end of your billing cycle. Pause if you might return; cancel if you're done.

If I subscribed through Amazon Prime Video, do I cancel there or through Paramount Plus?

Cancel through Amazon Prime Video only. Log into your Prime account, go to "Manage Your Prime Video Subscription," and select "Cancel Subscription" next to Paramount Plus. Canceling through Paramount Plus won't work because Paramount Plus doesn't manage subscriptions sold through other platforms.

How long does it take for my account to close after I cancel?

Your account closes at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th and your billing date is the 25th, your account closes on the 25th. You'll have access until midnight on that date, then you're locked out.
