How to cancel Peacock
You can cancel Peacock through your account settings on the Peacock website or app, or through the platform where you pay for it — Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku. The method depends on how you signed up. If you subscribed directly through Peacock, you cancel directly with Peacock. If you subscribed through another platform, you cancel through that platform instead.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You keep access to Peacock until that date, then your account closes. There is no refund for the time remaining in your current billing period.
Key Takeaways
- Direct Peacock subscriptions cancel through your Peacock account settings; subscriptions through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku cancel through those platforms instead.
- Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, and you cannot get a refund for unused time in that cycle.
- You can cancel anytime — there is no lock-in period or early termination fee.
- If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can restart your account without losing saved preferences or watch history.
Cancel a direct Peacock subscription on the website
Log into your Peacock account at peacocktv.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. Under the Subscription section, click Manage Subscription. Click the button labeled Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts to confirm.
Peacock may show you a retention offer — a discount or free trial to keep your subscription. You can accept the offer or proceed with cancellation. If you proceed, you will see a confirmation screen with your cancellation date. Take a screenshot or note the date for your records.
Cancel a direct Peacock subscription on the app
Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet. Tap your profile icon at the bottom right. Tap Account. Scroll to the Subscription section and tap Manage Subscription. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm your choice.
The process is the same whether you use iOS or Android. You will receive a confirmation email at the address tied to your account. Keep this email as proof of your cancellation date.
Cancel through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku
If you subscribed to Peacock through another platform, you must cancel through that same platform. Canceling through Peacock's website or app will not work — the subscription will continue to charge through the original platform.
| Platform | How to cancel |
|---|---|
| Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac) | Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. Find Peacock and tap it. Tap Cancel Subscription. Confirm your choice. |
| Google Play (Android) | Open Google Play. Tap your profile icon. Tap Payments and Subscriptions > Subscriptions. Find Peacock. Tap Cancel Subscription. Confirm your choice. |
| Amazon Prime Video | Go to Your Account > Prime Video Settings > Manage Your Prime Video Subscriptions. Find Peacock. Click Cancel Subscription. Confirm your choice. |
| Roku | Go to Roku Home. Select Subscriptions. Find Peacock. Select Cancel. Confirm your choice. |
After you cancel through any of these platforms, you will receive a confirmation email from that platform, not from Peacock. Your Peacock access ends on the date shown in that confirmation.
What happens after you cancel
Your Peacock account remains active until the end of your billing cycle. You can still watch everything you could watch before. On the day after your billing cycle ends, you lose access to Peacock content. Your saved shows, watch history, and profile settings stay in Peacock's system for a limited time.
If you resubscribe later, Peacock will restore your watch history and saved shows. You do not have to set up your account from scratch. However, if you wait several months before resubscribing, some of this information may be deleted.
If you want to pause instead of cancel
Peacock does not offer a pause or hold feature. Your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you think you might want to return soon, canceling and resubscribing later is free — there is no penalty for signing up again.
Some people cancel and then immediately resubscribe to get a promotional rate or free trial. This works, but Peacock may not offer the same promotion twice to the same account. Check what current offers are available before you cancel if this is your plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Peacock does not refund unused time in your current billing period. You keep access until the end of that period, but you cannot get money back for the days after you cancel. Your access ends on the last day of your billing cycle.
Can I cancel if I have an unpaid balance?
Yes. You can cancel even if your account has an unpaid charge. However, the unpaid amount may still be collected by the payment method on file. Canceling does not erase a debt — it only stops future charges.
What if I subscribed through a third party and forgot which one?
Check your email for receipts from Peacock or the platform you used. Look for emails from Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku. You can also log into your Peacock account and look at your payment method — it will show which platform is charging you. If you still cannot find it, contact Peacock support with your email address and they can tell you.
Do I lose my saved shows and watch history when I cancel?
Your saved shows and watch history stay in your Peacock account after cancellation. If you resubscribe, they come back. However, Peacock may delete this information if you stay canceled for several months. The exact timeframe is not published, but resubscribing within a few months should restore everything.
Can I cancel and get a free trial again?
Maybe. Peacock sometimes offers free trials or discounts to returning customers, but not always. Promotional offers change and are not may provide. You can cancel and check what offers are available when you are ready to resubscribe, but do not count on getting the same deal twice.
