Ready to cancel Peacock? How to do it, and what to try next
If you’re all done with Peacock for now, we’ll let you know how to cancel the streamer with ease.
Peacock is a useful streaming service with a surprising amount of content — especially in the sports arena — but every streamer outlives its usefulness to a subscriber at some point. Maybe you only signed up to stream the newest season of “Love Island,” or “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” or maybe you only wanted to watch “Sunday Night Football” on the streamer during the autumn and winter months.
Whatever the case, if you’ve finished with Peacock for the time being and are ready to move on, we’ll give you step-by-step instructions on how to cancel your account in seconds. We’ll also give you a recommendation or two for streamers you should try next!
Everything you need to know about canceling Peacock
How to cancel Peacock
- Click here to be taken to your Peacock account.
- Click your profile avatar picture.
- Click Account on the profile selection page.
- Under your plan details, click “Cancel Plan.”
Will you lose access to your Peacock account immediately if you cancel?
No. You will still be able to log into your Peacock subscription and use it until the end of your next billing cycle, after which time your account will be canceled, and your access will cease.
Will Peacock save your account settings if you want to resubscribe?
If you resubscribe to Peacock before the end of your final billing cycle, yes. If you don’t, however, canceling a Peacock subscription brings with it the risk of losing your account settings, watch histories, and user profiles.
What alternatives to Peacock should you try?
Paramount+
If you liked the mix of new titles, old favorites, studio movies, and live sports that are available on Peacock, you should think about switching to Paramount+. This streamer has a lower starting price for plans that include live sports, starting at $9 per month. Its ad-free plan is also cheaper than Peacock’s at $14 per month. You can watch next-day streams of CBS shows like “Tracker,” Taylor Sheridan titles set in the Dutton universe like “1923” and “Dutton Ranch,” live NFL and UEFA Champions League games, and much more with a subscription to Paramount+.

If you want a Peacock alternative that won’t cost you a thing, you should check out the free ad-supported streaming service Tubi.

Fans can often enjoy NBCU titles, as well as shows and movies from other popular studios around Hollywood with Tubi. You don’t even need to create an account to watch Tubi, but if you do, you can save your watch history and pick up right where you left off.
