You can cancel Paramount Plus through your account settings, and the process takes about two minutes
Log into your Paramount Plus account on a web browser or the mobile app, go to your Account Settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel Subscription. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can decline and proceed. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately, so you will keep watching until that date arrives.
If you subscribed through a third-party platform — Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku — you must cancel through that platform instead, not through Paramount Plus itself. Cancelling on Paramount Plus's website will not work if your payment goes through another company.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation through Paramount Plus's website or app takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not right away.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform's settings, not Paramount Plus.
- Paramount Plus may offer a discount or promotional rate when you attempt to cancel — you can accept or decline without affecting the cancellation.
- You will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle, but you keep access until that cycle ends.
Cancelling a subscription you pay for directly
Open Paramount Plus on a web browser or your phone. On the website, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. On the mobile app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and go to Account Settings. Look for the Subscription section.
Click or tap Manage Subscription, then select Cancel Subscription. Paramount Plus will show you a confirmation screen and may display a retention offer — a lower price for a set number of months. You can accept the offer if you want to stay, or click Continue to Cancel to proceed with ending your subscription. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
Your account will remain active through the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid monthly, you have access until the same date next month. If you paid annually, you have access until the same date next year. After that date, you lose access to Paramount Plus content.
Cancelling a subscription through a third-party platform
If you signed up for Paramount Plus through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or Roku, your payment method is tied to that platform, not to Paramount Plus directly. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed.
| Platform | How to cancel |
|---|---|
| Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac) | Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. |
| Google Play (Android) | Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel Subscription. |
| Amazon Prime Video Channels | Go to Your Account on Amazon, select Prime Video, then Manage Your Prime Video Channels, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel Channel. |
| Roku | On your Roku device, go to Roku Home, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel. |
Cancelling through the platform stops your subscription at the end of your current billing period, just as it does when you cancel directly through Paramount Plus. You will keep access until that date.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once your billing cycle ends, you lose access to all Paramount Plus content. You cannot watch shows, movies, or live TV. Your account information and any saved preferences (like your watchlist or viewing history) remain stored, so if you resubscribe later, those details are still there.
Paramount Plus does not refund the current billing cycle, even if you cancel partway through the month or year. You have paid for access through that date, and you keep it. If you want to avoid being charged for the next cycle, cancel before your renewal date arrives.
Pausing your subscription instead of cancelling
Paramount Plus does not offer an official pause or freeze option. If you want to stop paying temporarily without losing your account, your only choice is to cancel and resubscribe later. When you resubscribe, your account details return, but you start a new billing cycle from that date.
Some third-party platforms (like Apple or Google Play) may allow you to pause a subscription for a limited time before it cancels, but this depends on the platform's policies, not Paramount Plus's. Check your platform's subscription settings to see if a pause option is available.
Reactivating your account after cancellation
You can resubscribe to Paramount Plus at any time after your cancellation takes effect. Log back into your account or create a new one, choose your plan (ad-supported or ad-free), and enter a payment method. You will be charged for a new billing cycle starting from the date you resubscribe.
If you cancelled through a third-party platform, you must resubscribe through that same platform to keep using it as your payment method. You can also resubscribe directly through Paramount Plus's website or app if you prefer to pay that way instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-cycle?
No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your billing cycle. You keep access through the end of the period you have already paid for, but you will not receive money back. To avoid paying for an extra cycle, cancel before your renewal date.
What if I subscribed through my cable or phone provider?
If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, phone, or internet plan, you cannot cancel it through Paramount Plus itself. Contact your provider's customer service to remove the add-on from your account. Your provider handles the billing and cancellation.
Can I cancel and resubscribe to get a promotional rate?
You can cancel and resubscribe, but Paramount Plus does not may provide a new promotional offer will be available. New subscriber rates and promotions change over time and vary by location. When you resubscribe, you will see whatever offer is currently available.
Do I lose my watchlist and viewing history when I cancel?
No. Your account information, including your watchlist and what you have watched, stays saved even after cancellation. If you resubscribe later, all of that information is still there.
How do I know if my cancellation went through?
After you confirm cancellation, Paramount Plus shows a confirmation message on screen. You can also check by logging back into your account and going to Account Settings — if the subscription section shows no active plan, the cancellation is complete. You will receive a confirmation email as well.
