Cancel Peacock

If you want to stop paying for Peacock TV, you can cancel your subscription at any time. What to do for this depends on how you created your account and who handles your billing. 

This helpful post tells you how to cancel your Peacock plan on all devices and third-party billers.

What Happens After You Cancel Your Peacock Subscription? 

Understanding post-cancellation information helps you avoid unexpected items that pop up on your billing statement. 

Access Duration after Cancellation 

When you cancel a paid Peacock plan, your service doesn’t stop immediately. 

  • You’ll continue to get access to movies, shows, and live sports until your billing cycle ends. 
  • After the cancellation, Peacock shows the date of your last access to the account page. 
  • You will not receive further recurring charges once the billing cycle finishes. 

Peacock Refund Policy 

Peacock does not offer pro-rated refunds for unused days during a billing period. 

  • If you cancel halfway through your month, Peacock will not refund the remaining days. 
  • Your service simply runs until the current paid period ends. 
  • Annual plans operate under the same rule. Canceling an annual plan stops auto-renewal for the next year. 

What Happens to Your Profile Data? 

Peacock saves your user profile data, watch history and watch list after cancellation. 

  • Your account converts to an inactive status. 
  • If you decide to resubscribe later, your saved preferences remain available. 
  • You can re-sign in to peacocktv.com at any time to restart your plan.

  • Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period expires. 
  • On some platforms, canceling a free trial stops access immediately. 
  • Review the trial terms displayed on screen during your cancellation request.
