You can cancel Peacock through your account settings in seconds, and the process differs slightly depending on whether you signed up through Peacock directly or through another service

Canceling Peacock stops your subscription immediately and removes your access to the service. If you signed up directly with Peacock using an email and password, you cancel through the Peacock website or app. If you subscribed through another platform — like Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or your cable provider — you cancel through that platform instead, not through Peacock itself. Knowing which route you used matters because canceling in the wrong place won't actually stop your subscription.

The process takes about two minutes. You won't lose access to your account information, and you can resubscribe later without creating a new account. There are no penalties for canceling, and Peacock does not offer refunds for the current billing period if you cancel mid-month.

Key Takeaways

  • If you signed up directly with Peacock, cancel through the account settings on the Peacock website or mobile app under "Manage Subscription."
  • If you subscribed through Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or your cable provider, you must cancel through that platform, not through Peacock.
  • Canceling stops your subscription immediately and removes access to Peacock content, but your account information remains saved.
  • Peacock does not refund unused portions of your current billing period after you cancel.

Cancel a Peacock subscription you signed up for directly

Open the Peacock website on a computer or the Peacock app on your phone or tablet. Sign in with your email and password. On the website, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account." On the mobile app, tap the profile icon at the bottom right, then tap "Account Settings."

Look for "Manage Subscription" or "Subscription" in the menu. Click or tap it. You will see your current plan and billing date. Below that, you should see a button that says "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Plan." Click or tap it. Peacock will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with canceling. After you confirm, your subscription ends immediately.

Cancel if you subscribed through another platform

If you signed up for Peacock through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku Channel, Google Play, or your cable provider (like Comcast, Charter, or Cox), you must cancel through that platform, not through Peacock itself. Canceling through Peacock's website or app will not stop the charges.

Apple TV Channels: Open the Apple TV app, go to "Account" at the bottom, tap "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and tap "Cancel Subscription."

Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to Amazon.com, click "Account & Lists," select "Your Subscriptions," find Peacock, and click "Manage Subscription" then "Cancel Channel."

Roku Channel: Open the Roku app or go to roku.com, go to "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and select "Cancel."

Google Play: Open Google Play on your phone, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," find Peacock, and tap "Cancel Subscription."

Cable provider: Call your provider's customer service number or log into your account online. Ask to cancel your Peacock add-on subscription. They will confirm the cancellation over the phone or via email.

What happens after you cancel

Your access to Peacock ends immediately after you confirm the cancellation. You will no longer be able to stream shows, movies, or live sports. Your account and viewing history remain saved, so if you resubscribe later, your watchlist and recommendations will still be there.

You will not receive a refund for the current billing period. If you paid for a month on the 15th and canceled on the 20th, you do not get a refund for the remaining days. Some third-party platforms (like Apple TV or Amazon Prime Video) have their own refund policies, so if you subscribed through one of those, check their terms.

If you cannot find the cancel button

The location of the cancel button varies slightly depending on your device and app version. If you signed up directly with Peacock and cannot find "Manage Subscription," try these steps: On the website, log in and go to Account > Billing. On the mobile app, go to Account Settings > Subscription or Billing. If the button still does not appear, you may have a free trial or a promotional plan — scroll down to see all options.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and cannot find the cancel option, contact that platform's customer service. Peacock's support team cannot cancel subscriptions that were purchased elsewhere.

Reactivating your account later

You can resubscribe to Peacock at any time using the same email address. Your account will be restored with your previous watchlist and viewing history. If you resubscribe within a short period, Peacock sometimes offers a discount or free trial — check the website or app when you log back in.

There is no waiting period or penalty for canceling and resubscribing. You can cancel and restart as many times as you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Peacock does not refund unused portions of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 20th of a month and your next charge date is the 30th, you lose access immediately but keep paying until the 30th. Check your billing date before canceling if you want to avoid this.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Peacock does not offer a pause option. You must either keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, cancel now and resubscribe when you are ready to watch again.

What if I subscribed through my cable provider and do not know how to cancel?

Call your cable provider's customer service number — it is on your bill. Tell them you want to cancel your Peacock add-on. They will handle it for you. Do not try to cancel through the Peacock app, as that will not stop the charges from your cable bill.

Will my watchlist and saved shows disappear after I cancel?

No. Your account information, watchlist, and viewing history stay saved even after you cancel. If you resubscribe later, everything will be there. Peacock keeps this data indefinitely unless you manually delete your account.

How do I delete my Peacock account completely?

Canceling your subscription and deleting your account are different. To delete your account entirely, go to Account Settings, scroll to the bottom, and look for "Delete Account" or "Close Account." This removes all your information and cannot be undone. Most people just cancel the subscription instead.
