You can cancel Paramount Plus on the same device where you signed up, or through your account settings online

Paramount Plus lets you stop your subscription at any time. You will not be charged again after you cancel, but you lose access to the service when ready — your remaining subscription time does not carry over as a credit. If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly, you cancel through their website or app. If you signed up through another service like Apple, Amazon, or your cable provider, you cancel through that service instead, not through Paramount Plus itself.

The cancellation takes effect right away. You can still watch until your current billing period ends if you want to wait, but the easiest approach is to cancel as soon as you decide you no longer want the service.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through the same place you signed up: Paramount Plus directly, or the third-party service like Apple or Amazon if that is where your subscription lives.
  • You lose access when ready after canceling, even if you have paid time remaining in your current billing period.
  • Canceling through the wrong place (like trying to cancel through Paramount Plus when you signed up through Apple) will not work.
  • You can resubscribe at any time without penalty, and promotional pricing may be available when you return.

Cancel a subscription you signed up for directly on Paramount Plus

Go to the Paramount Plus website and sign in to your account. Click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Account. Under the Subscription section, you will see your current plan and a button that says Manage Subscription or Cancel Subscription. Click it.

Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay. If you want to proceed, click the button to confirm. You will get an email confirming the cancellation, and your access ends when ready.

If you are using the Paramount Plus app on a phone or tablet, you may not be able to cancel directly in the app — the app often directs you to the website instead. Open a web browser, go to paramountplus.com, and follow the steps above.

Cancel a subscription you signed up for through Apple, Amazon, or another third party

If you subscribed through Apple (including through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac), go to your Apple ID settings, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus in the list, and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple will confirm the cancellation when ready.

If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, go to your Prime Video account, select Your Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and select Cancel Channel. The cancellation takes effect right away.

If you subscribed through another service — such as Roku, Google Play, Samsung TV, or a cable provider — you will need to cancel through that service's account settings or customer service. The steps vary, but the principle is the same: find the subscription management section, locate Paramount Plus, and select cancel. Do not try to cancel through Paramount Plus itself, because the company has no record of a direct subscription to cancel.

What happens to your account and content after you cancel

Once you cancel, you cannot watch anything on Paramount Plus, even if you have paid time left in your current billing period. You will not get a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. If you had a free trial that you canceled before it converted to a paid subscription, you will not be charged.

Your account and watch history remain saved for up to 10 months. If you resubscribe within that window, your saved shows and where you left off in each one will still be there. After 10 months of inactivity, Paramount Plus may delete your account.

Resubscribe to Paramount Plus later

You can sign back up at any time through the same method you used before. If you originally subscribed directly through Paramount Plus, you can resubscribe on their website or app. If you subscribed through a third party, you resubscribe through that same third party.

When you resubscribe, Paramount Plus sometimes offers promotional pricing — such as a discounted first month or a free trial — even if you have canceled before. These offers change frequently and are not may provide, but it is worth checking what is available when you return.

If you are having trouble canceling

If the cancel button is not showing up in your account settings, or if you are being charged after you canceled, contact Paramount Plus support directly. Go to paramountplus.com/help, select your issue from the menu, and choose to chat with an agent or request a callback. Have your account email and the date you attempted to cancel ready.

If you subscribed through a third party and are still being charged, contact that service first — Apple, Amazon, Google, or your cable provider. They handle the billing, and they can often resolve the issue faster than Paramount Plus can. Keep a record of when you canceled and any confirmation emails you received.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing period?

No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused subscription time. If you cancel on the 5th of the month and your billing period ends on the 15th, you lose access when ready and do not receive a credit or refund for those 10 days.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Paramount Plus does not offer a pause or freeze option. You either stay subscribed or cancel. If you want to stop paying temporarily, canceling and resubscribing later is your only option.

What if I signed up through a cable provider and want to cancel?

Contact your cable provider's customer service — not Paramount Plus. They manage the billing and the subscription on their end. You can usually cancel by phone, online through your provider's account portal, or by visiting a local office.

Will my watch history disappear if I cancel?

Your watch history and saved shows stay in your account for up to 10 months after you cancel. If you resubscribe within that time, everything will be there. After 10 months of no activity, Paramount Plus may delete your account entirely.

Can I cancel and get a promotional offer when I come back?

Paramount Plus sometimes offers discounts or free trials to returning customers, but these offers are not may provide and change frequently. When you resubscribe, check what promotions are currently available — you may see a better deal than a new customer would.
