How to cancel Paramount+ on your account
You can cancel Paramount+ directly through your account settings on the Paramount+ website or app. The process takes a few minutes and stops your subscription immediately — you will not be charged again after you confirm the cancellation.
Log into your Paramount+ account, go to Account Settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. Paramount+ will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to stay; you can decline and proceed with cancellation. Your access ends right away, though you may see a brief message saying your subscription is active through the end of your current billing cycle — this is normal and does not mean you are still being charged.
If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount+ directly. Cancelling on the Paramount+ website will not stop charges from the third party.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through Paramount+ takes effect immediately and stops future charges on the same day you confirm.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or another third party, you must cancel through that service, not the Paramount+ website.
- You will lose access to Paramount+ content right away after cancellation, even if your billing cycle has not ended.
- Paramount+ may offer a discount code or lower price to keep your subscription — you can accept or decline before confirming cancellation.
Cancelling a subscription bought through a third-party service
Third-party subscriptions work differently because the third party charges you, not Paramount+. Cancelling on the Paramount+ website will not stop the charges. You must cancel through the service where you originally subscribed.
Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose Cancel Channel. Google Play: Open Google Play, go to Subscriptions, select Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Roku: Go to Roku Home, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and choose Cancel.
After you cancel through the third party, you will receive a confirmation email from that service. Paramount+ will not send a separate cancellation email because the third party is handling the transaction. Your access ends on the date the third party specifies, which is usually the end of your current billing cycle.
What happens to your account and content after cancellation
Once you cancel, you lose access to all Paramount+ content immediately. You cannot watch shows, movies, or live TV, and you cannot download content to watch offline. Any watchlist, saved shows, or viewing history you created will remain on your account if you resubscribe later, but you cannot access them while your subscription is inactive.
Paramount+ does not refund the portion of your current billing cycle you have not used. If you are charged on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 5th, you will not receive a refund for the remaining 10 days. However, you will not be charged again after cancellation.
If you subscribed through a promotional offer or trial period, cancelling ends that offer. You cannot restart the same trial or promotion on the same account.
Cancelling through your cable or phone provider
If Paramount+ came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, the subscription is managed by your provider, not by Paramount+ directly. Cancelling on the Paramount+ website will not remove the charge from your provider's bill. You must contact your provider to remove Paramount+ from your account.
Call your provider's customer service line or log into your provider's account portal and look for a section called Subscriptions, Add-Ons, or Channels. Find Paramount+ and select the option to remove or cancel it. Your provider will confirm the removal and tell you when the charge will stop appearing on your bill — this is usually at the end of your current billing cycle.
Keep the confirmation number or email your provider sends you. If Paramount+ charges still appear on your next bill, contact your provider again with that confirmation number to dispute the charge.
Reactivating your Paramount+ subscription later
You can resubscribe to Paramount+ at any time after cancellation by logging back into your account or downloading the app and selecting a plan. Your old watchlist and viewing history will be there, though you will start from the beginning of any show you were watching.
Paramount+ sometimes offers discounts to returning subscribers, but this is not may provide. When you log in after cancellation, the app or website will show you available plans and any current offers. You can choose a monthly or annual plan, and your new subscription will begin immediately after payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. Paramount+ does not refund unused portions of your billing cycle. If you are charged on the 15th and cancel on the 5th, you will not receive a refund for the remaining days. You will simply not be charged again.
Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?
Paramount+ does not offer a pause or suspension feature. Your options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you cancel, you can resubscribe later without penalty.
How do I cancel if I forgot my password?
Use the "Forgot Password" link on the Paramount+ login page to reset it, then log in and cancel through Account Settings. If you subscribed through a third party, you can reset your password through that service instead.
Will my email still receive Paramount+ messages after I cancel?
Paramount+ may continue to send promotional emails after cancellation. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email, or by logging into your account and adjusting notification settings if your account is still accessible.
What if the cancel button is not showing up in my account?
If you cannot find the cancel option, you likely subscribed through a third party or your provider. Check your email receipts to see where the charge comes from, then cancel through that service instead of the Paramount+ website directly.
