You can cancel Paramount+ through your account settings on any device, and the process takes about two minutes

Log into your Paramount+ account on a web browser or the mobile app, go to your account settings, find the subscription or billing section, and select the option to cancel. The exact wording and location varies slightly depending on whether you subscribed directly through Paramount+ or through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider — but the cancellation itself happens in the same place you manage your subscription.

Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you paid for a month on the 15th, you keep watching until the 15th of next month. If you cancel mid-cycle, you do not get a refund for the unused portion — Paramount+ does not prorate refunds.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancellation through Paramount+ account settings takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not right away.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or your cable provider, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount+ itself.
  • Paramount+ does not refund unused time if you cancel mid-cycle.
  • You can reactivate your account later without losing your watchlist or profile settings.
  • Keep your confirmation email after canceling — it shows your final access date and serves as proof if billing continues.

Canceling a direct Paramount+ subscription on web or mobile

If you signed up directly with Paramount+ using an email and password, cancel through the app or website. On the web, log in, click your profile icon in the top right corner, select Account, then Billing or Subscription (the exact label depends on your region). Look for a button that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription and follow the prompts.

On the Paramount+ mobile app, tap your profile icon, go to Account, then Subscription, and select the cancellation option. You will see a confirmation screen asking why you are canceling — this is optional feedback, not a barrier to cancellation. Complete the cancellation, and you will receive a confirmation email with your final access date.

Canceling if you subscribed through a third-party service

If you signed up for Paramount+ through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or your cable or satellite provider, you must cancel through that service, not through Paramount+ itself. Canceling only in the Paramount+ app will not stop the charges.

Apple: Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to your Prime Video account, select Manage Your Prime Video, find Paramount+, and choose Cancel Channel. Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and tap Cancel subscription. Roku: From your Roku home screen, go to Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and select Cancel. For cable or satellite providers, call your provider's customer service line or log into your account online to manage add-ons.

After you cancel through the third-party service, check your Paramount+ account a few hours later to confirm the subscription shows as canceled. If it still shows as active, contact Paramount+ support with your cancellation confirmation from the third-party service.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Your account and profile remain saved after cancellation. Your watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences stay in place. If you reactivate your subscription later — whether immediately or months later — you will see everything exactly as you left it. You do not lose anything by canceling.

You will stop receiving emails from Paramount+ about new releases or recommendations once your subscription ends. If you want to pause emails before your final date, you can usually adjust notification settings in your account preferences.

If billing continues after you cancel

If you are charged after your cancellation date, contact Paramount+ support with your cancellation confirmation email and the charge receipt. Most billing issues stem from canceling only in the app when the subscription was purchased through a third party — double-check which service you used to sign up. If you subscribed through a third party and canceled only through Paramount+, you will still be charged; you must cancel through the original service.

Keep records of your cancellation confirmation and any charge receipts. If Paramount+ does not refund an erroneous charge within 30 days of your request, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Paramount+ does not refund unused time. If you paid for a full month and cancel after one week, you lose the remaining balance. You keep access until the end of your billing period, but no money is returned.

Will I lose my watchlist and saved shows if I cancel?

No. Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history remain saved. If you reactivate your subscription later, everything will be there waiting for you.

What if I subscribed through my cable provider?

Call your cable or satellite provider's customer service number or log into your account online to cancel the Paramount+ add-on. Do not cancel only through the Paramount+ app — you must cancel through your provider to stop the charges.

How long does it take for cancellation to take effect?

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. You will have access until that date. Your confirmation email will show your exact final access date.

Can I cancel and reactivate later without losing anything?

Yes. Your account stays saved with all your preferences and watchlist intact. You can reactivate anytime and pick up where you left off.
