How to Cancel Paramount+ in 2026

Updated 2026-05-03 · 2 min read

Cancel Paramount+ or Paramount+ with SHOWTIME across all billing paths: direct, Apple, Google, Amazon Channels, Roku, and Verizon. Annual subscribers may qualify for a prorated refund.

Quick answer

Sign in at paramountplus.com, click your profile, go to Account, and select Cancel Subscription. If Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, or Verizon is billing you, cancel through that platform instead. Annual subscribers: contact live chat to request a prorated refund.

Overview

A couple of things worth knowing before you cancel. First, if you're on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, it's one subscription and both services end together. Second, annual plan holders can ask for a prorated refund on unused months. Most streaming services won't do this. Paramount+ sometimes will. Third, six different parties can be billing you, so finding the right path matters.

TL;DR

  • Cancel at paramountplus.com/account or through your billing platform
  • The SHOWTIME bundle ends as one plan when you cancel
  • Annual plan: contact live chat for a prorated refund on unused months
  • Six billing paths: direct, Apple, Google, Amazon Channels, Roku, Verizon
  • The one-month pause option is real but delays billing rather than stopping it

Frequently asked questions

If I cancel Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, do I lose both services?

Yes. It's one plan. Canceling ends both Paramount+ and SHOWTIME access at the billing period close.

Can I get a refund on my annual plan?

Possibly. Paramount+ reviews annual refund requests through live chat. If months are remaining and you haven't used much of the service, they may process a partial refund. Contact help.paramountplus.com and ask directly.

I subscribed through Amazon Prime. Can I cancel on the Paramount+ website?

No. Amazon Channel subscriptions can only be canceled through Amazon. Go to amazon.com/gp/video/settings/channels and cancel Paramount+ from the channel list there.

What happens if I cancel during a free trial?

You keep access through the trial end and aren't charged. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial closes to be safe.

Does Paramount+ have a pause option?

Yes, one month. It appears on the cancel screen before final confirmation. Billing pauses for that month and resumes automatically. Use it if you're coming back soon and want to save one month's charge.

I have Paramount+ through Walmart+. How do I cancel?

Walmart+ bundles can't have Paramount+ removed separately. You'd need to cancel the entire Walmart+ membership or switch to a Walmart+ tier that doesn't include Paramount+. Contact Walmart+ support for your specific options.

The app still works after I canceled. Is something wrong?

No. Access continues until the billing period ends. If you received a confirmation email showing an end date, everything is fine. The app keeps working through that date.
