To cancel Peacock subscription, the method depends entirely on how you originally signed up and are billed. If you subscribed directly through Peacock's website, you cancel in your account settings; if you subscribed through a third party like Roku or Apple, you must cancel through that provider's billing system.
How to cancel peacock subscription directly on the website
This is the primary method for canceling a subscription billed directly by Peacock. You must use a web browser on any device, your account settings on the Peacock website are where direct subscriptions are managed.
- Sign in to your Peacock account at peacocktv.com.
- Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then select Account.
- Go to the Plans & Payments tab.
- Select Cancel Plan. You may also see Cancel All Subscriptions; this cancels your base plan (Select, Premium, or Premium Plus) along with any add-ons such as Regional Sports Network or Starz.
- Confirm the cancellation.
After you confirm, Peacock will show an on-screen confirmation and send a confirmation email, which may take a few hours to arrive. Your plan will not renew at the end of the current subscription term, and you will retain access until that billing period ends.
How to cancel peacock on a Roku device or website
If your Peacock subscription is billed through Roku, you cannot cancel it inside the Peacock app or website. You must manage the subscription through your Roku account. Peacock's help page does not provide the exact Roku menu path, but the Roku community confirms these general steps work.
On a Roku device
- Press the Home button on your Roku remote.
- Highlight the Peacock channel.
- Press the asterisk (*) button on your remote.
- Select Manage subscription.
- Choose Cancel subscription and confirm.
On the Roku website
- Go to my.roku.com and sign in.
- Scroll to Manage your subscriptions.
- Find Peacock under Active Subscriptions.
- Click Cancel Subscription and select a reason.
On Android, cancel a Google-billed Peacock subscription via Google Play Store: Profile menu > Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel Subscription.
How to cancel peacock on Apple TV
If you subscribed to Peacock through Apple's billing system (on an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV), you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings.
On Apple TV
- Open Settings on your Apple TV.
- Go to Users & Accounts.
- Select your account, then choose Subscriptions.
- Select Peacock and choose Cancel Subscription.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select Peacock and tap Cancel Subscription.
On iOS, cancel an Apple-billed Peacock subscription via Settings: tap your name > Subscriptions > Peacock > Cancel Subscription.
Can you pause your peacock subscription instead?
Peacock does not offer a pause option. However, canceling is not permanent, you can resubscribe at any time. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period, so you do not lose time. If you want to keep watching without paying, you can switch to Peacock's free, ad-supported plan instead of canceling entirely.
How to change or downgrade your peacock plan
If you want to keep your account but pay less, downgrading to a cheaper plan is a good alternative to full cancellation. You can change plans anytime through the Peacock website.
- Sign in to peacocktv.com.
- Click your profile picture and select Account.
- Under your current plan, select Change Plan.
- Choose the plan you want (Peacock Free, Premium, or Premium Plus).
- Click Change Plan to confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel my Peacock subscription?
No. Peacock does not issue refunds for partial billing periods. You keep access until the end of the current term, even if you cancel immediately.
How do I cancel Peacock if I subscribed through a cable provider or another third party?
Subscriptions billed through a cable provider, Amazon, or other third parties must be canceled through that provider's billing system, not through Peacock. Contact the company that charges you for the subscription.
What happens to my saved shows and watch history after I cancel?
Your profile, watch history, and saved shows remain on your account. If you resubscribe later, your progress and preferences will still be there.
Can I delete my Peacock account entirely?
Yes, but it requires submitting a request through NBCUniversal's privacy web form. Account deletion is not automatic and may take several weeks to process. To fully delete a Peacock account (not just switch to free), submit a request via NBCUniversal's Privacy Web Form, select 'Delete Information', choose Peacock as the brand, and wait weeks to a month for confirmation.
Does canceling Peacock Premium also cancel add-ons like Starz or sports networks?
Yes. Using the Cancel All Subscriptions option ends your base plan and all add-ons tied to that Peacock account in one action.
