Cancel Paramount+ through your account settings

You can cancel Paramount+ directly through the app or website without calling anyone. Log in to 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 accept or decline. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep access until then.

If you signed up through the Paramount website or app, this method works when ready. You will receive a confirmation email with your cancellation date. Keep this email in case you need to reference when your access ends.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through Account Settings on the Paramount+ website or app by selecting your subscription and choosing Cancel Subscription.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period — cancellation does not cut you off when ready.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform instead, not through Paramount.
  • Paramount may offer a discount or free trial period to keep you subscribed — you can decline and proceed with cancellation.
  • Save your cancellation confirmation email as proof in case billing questions arise later.

Cancel if you subscribed through another platform

If you signed up for Paramount+ through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or another third-party service, you must cancel through that platform, 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. Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, choose Paramount+, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and click Cancel. Roku: Go to Roku Home, select Subscriptions, find Paramount+, and select Cancel.

Each platform processes cancellations on its own schedule, so the timing may differ slightly from direct Paramount cancellations. You will receive a separate confirmation from the platform you used.

What happens after you cancel

Your Paramount+ account stays active until the last day of your billing cycle. If you paid monthly, you have access through the end of that month. If you paid annually, you have access through the end of that year. After that date, you lose access to all content, and your login will no longer work.

Paramount does not refund partial months or years, even if you cancel mid-cycle. If you want to preserve your watchlist or profile settings, you can log in anytime before your access ends and save that information. Your account itself remains in the system for 12 months, so you can resubscribe later without creating a new account.

Stop charges if you cannot access your account

If you cannot log in to your Paramount+ account or forgot your password, contact Paramount+ support directly through their website. You can reach them by going to the Help section and selecting Contact Us. They can cancel your subscription without requiring you to log in, though you will need to provide the email address associated with your account.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and cannot access that account either, contact that platform's support team. Apple, Google, Amazon, and Roku all have support channels that can cancel subscriptions on your behalf. Have your account email and the last four digits of your payment method ready.

Prevent accidental resubscription

After canceling, Paramount may send promotional emails offering discounts to return. These emails are normal and do not mean your cancellation failed. Do not click links in these emails unless you actually want to resubscribe, because some links automatically restart your subscription.

If you resubscribe by accident, you have a short window to request a refund. Contact Paramount+ support when ready and explain that you canceled intentionally. They may refund charges if you act within a few days, though refunds are not may provide. This is why keeping your cancellation confirmation email matters — it proves when you canceled.

Manage your subscription instead of canceling

If you want to keep Paramount+ but reduce costs, you have other options. Paramount+ offers a lower-priced plan with ads instead of an ad-free plan. You can downgrade by going to Account Settings, selecting your plan, and choosing the ad-supported tier. The change takes effect on your next billing date.

You can also pause your subscription for up to three months without canceling. This keeps your account and watchlist intact while stopping charges temporarily. After the pause ends, billing resumes automatically unless you cancel or pause again. Check your account settings to see if pause is available in your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Your watchlist and profile settings stay saved for 12 months after cancellation. If you resubscribe within that time, everything is still there. After 12 months, Paramount deletes inactive accounts and their data.

Can I get a refund if I just subscribed?

Paramount does not offer refunds for monthly subscriptions once the billing cycle begins. If you subscribed within the last day or two, contact support and ask — they may make an exception. Annual subscriptions have the same policy, though support sometimes grants refunds for recent purchases.

What if my credit card is declined after I cancel?

If your card fails after you cancel, Paramount will not charge you again. Your cancellation is final. If you see a charge after your access ended, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute it, then contact Paramount support with proof of the dispute.

Do I need to cancel before switching to a different plan?

No. You can change plans directly in Account Settings without canceling. Downgrading to the ad-supported plan or upgrading to ad-free both happen when ready without interrupting your service.

How long does it take for charges to stop after I cancel?

Charges stop after your current billing cycle ends. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 20th, you will be charged one more time on the 20th, then never again. Your access continues through the end of that billing period.
