How do I cancel my Paramount Plus account subscription?
Official cancellation steps work predictably when you know where to look. Here’s how to stop your subscription on every major platform.
Cancel on the Paramount Plus website
The web version is the most reliable method for direct subscriptions. Log in at paramountplus.com, click your username (top-right), select Account, scroll to Cancel subscription, and confirm.
- Log in at paramountplus.com.
- Click your username (top-right) and select Account.
- Scroll to Cancel subscription.
- Click Confirm.
Once confirmed, you’ll still have access until the end of your billing period (Xpendy Blog (subscription management guide)). No refunds for unused days.
Cancel in the Paramount Plus mobile app
If you signed up through Apple App Store or Google Play, you cannot cancel inside the Paramount+ app itself. Instead:
- iPhone/iPad: Open Settings > tap your name > Subscriptions > select Paramount+ and tap Cancel Subscription (Privacy.com Blog (personal finance resource)).
- Android/Google Play: Open Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > select Paramount+ > Cancel (Goal.com (sports and entertainment news)).
Cancel on smart TV devices
Roku, Fire TV, and other devices require cancellation through the platform’s subscription management:
- Roku: Sign in at my.roku.com > Manage Subscriptions > Paramount+ > Cancel Channel (Goal.com (sports and entertainment news)).
- Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Amazon Account > Memberships & Subscriptions > find Paramount+ > Cancel Channel.
Why can’t I cancel my Paramount Plus subscription?
A missing cancel button is the most common frustration. Here are the three typical causes and their fixes.
Cancel button not visible
If the option doesn’t appear on the Paramount+ website, your subscription is almost certainly billed through a third party (YouTube (video tutorial)).
Check your billing method — if you see charges from Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku, cancel through that platform’s settings, not through Paramount+.
Account locked or billed through a cable bundle
Some subscriptions come bundled with cable TV packages or streaming services like Comcast, Spectrum, or T-Mobile. In that case, contact the cable provider to cancel (Xpendy Blog (subscription management guide)).
Old app or browser version
An outdated app or browser can hide the cancellation option. Update the app or try a different browser, or use incognito mode (YouTube (video tutorial)).
How do I stop recurring payments on Paramount Plus?
Stopping future charges is the whole point of cancellation. Here’s exactly how it works.
Web cancellation stops recurring payments
Cancelling through the website immediately kills auto-renewal. You won’t be charged again, and you keep access until the prepaid period ends (Xpendy Blog (subscription management guide)).
Cancel via mobile store for in-app purchases
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the subscription settings in those stores control payments (Privacy.com Blog (personal finance resource)).
The moment you cancel, the auto-renewal stops. For a free trial, cancel before day 7 to avoid any charge (Paramount+ Support (official streaming service help)).

For anyone who manages multiple streaming subscriptions, the pattern is clear: Paramount Plus is not designed to trap you, but it does route cancellations through whichever storefront signed you up. The implication: always note your billing method at sign-up, and cancel through that same channel. For subscribers billed directly, the web route works in under a minute.
