How To Cancel Peacock In 2026: Every Billing Route Explained

Short answer: sign in at peacocktv.com in a browser, open Account, choose Cancel All Subscriptions and confirm until you see the on-screen confirmation. Do it no later than the day before your next billing date. If there is no cancel option, Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, Xfinity, Spectrum or another partner is billing you, and you cancel with them instead.
Peacock is simple to leave once you know who holds the bill, and that is exactly where most people get stuck. The service is sold directly, through every major app store, through Roku and Amazon, and bundled into Xfinity, Spectrum, Walmart+ and Instacart+ memberships. Peacock itself says plainly that it cannot cancel a plan that a partner bills for you.
This guide covers every route, the August 2026 price increase that pushed many people to look for the exit, the cheaper option of downgrading instead of cancelling, what happens to annual plans, and the difference between cancelling and deleting your account.
First, Check Who Is Billing You
Look at the charge on your bank or card statement before you do anything else. The merchant name tells you where the cancel button lives.

Peacock raised the price of every plan on 18 August 2026, its fourth increase in four years. New and returning customers paid the new rates straight away. Existing monthly subscribers moved to them on their first billing date on or after 17 September 2026. Annual subscribers and anyone on a promotional rate keep their old price until that plan or offer renews.

Every plan renews automatically at whatever the price is when it renews. Peacock’s terms promise advance notice of a price change before your next billing date, and if you do not want to pay the new rate, you have to cancel before it takes effect. Discounted rates for students and for military, teachers, medical workers and first responders have been offered on Premium, so check the price shown in your own account rather than the list price.
When To Cancel So You Are Not Charged Again
Peacock’s terms of use say you must cancel no later than the day before your next recurring billing date to avoid being charged for the next term. Cancel on the billing date itself and you have probably paid for another month, or another year on an annual plan.
Your next billing date is shown on the Account page at peacocktv.com, under Plans and Payment. If a partner bills you, the date that matters is the partner’s renewal date, not Peacock’s, and Apple and Google generally want you to cancel at least 24 hours before their renewal. The safest habit is to cancel two or three days early. You lose nothing by doing so, because Peacock keeps your access running to the end of the period you already paid for.
How To Cancel Peacock On The Website
This is the route for anyone billed directly by Peacock, which includes most people who signed up at peacocktv.com with a card or PayPal. Use a browser on a computer or phone. The cancel option is easiest to find in a browser; the Peacock app on a TV or games console generally does not offer it.
Go to peacocktv.com and sign in. Use the email address the subscription is under, which may not be the one you use most.
Open Account. Click your profile icon at the top right and choose Account.
Check your plan and billing date under Plans and Payment, so you know when access ends.
Choose Cancel All Subscriptions. This removes your base plan and any add-ons together. If you only want to drop an add-on, select that add-on and choose Remove Add-On instead.
Work through the retention screens. Peacock may offer a cheaper plan or a discounted rate for a few months. Decline them if you want to leave.
Confirm the cancellation. Peacock shows an on-screen confirmation and sends an email, which can take a few hours to arrive.
Screenshot the confirmation and recheck the Account page. It should show an end date rather than a renewal date.
How To Cancel Peacock On iPhone When Apple Bills You
If you subscribed inside the Peacock app on an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, Apple holds the subscription. The charge reads APPLE.COM/BILL, and Peacock cannot stop it.
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions.
Select Peacock from the list.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
The same applies to the Apple TV and Peacock bundle when you bought it through Apple: it appears in the same Subscriptions list. If you bought the bundle through Peacock, cancel it on the Peacock website instead.
How To Cancel Peacock On Android Through Google Play
Open the Google Play Store app.
Tap your profile icon, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
Select Peacock.
Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
This also covers Peacock bought on a Google TV or Chromecast through Google Play. If Peacock is not in your Play subscriptions, you are probably billed by Peacock directly, so go back to the website route.
How To Cancel Peacock On Roku
Roku is one of the most common billing routes and one of the most searched, because people try to cancel inside the Peacock app on the TV and find nothing there. If you subscribed with your Roku account, Roku bills you and you cancel through Roku.
Press Home on your Roku remote.
Highlight the Peacock channel without opening it.
Press the star button on the remote to open the options menu.
Select Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription, and confirm.
You can also do it in a browser: sign in at my.roku.com, open Manage your subscriptions, find Peacock and choose Unsubscribe. Removing the Peacock channel from your Roku home screen does not cancel anything.
How To Cancel Peacock On Amazon
Amazon can bill you for Peacock in two ways: as a Prime Video Channels add-on, or as an in-app purchase through the Peacock app on a Fire TV. Both are cancelled at Amazon.
Sign in at amazon.com and open Account, then Memberships and Subscriptions.
Find Peacock. A Prime Video Channels subscription is also listed in Prime Video settings under Channels.
Choose Cancel Subscription or turn off auto-renewal, and confirm.
If you started a Peacock trial as a Prime Video channel, it converts to a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel through Amazon first.
How To Cancel Peacock Through Xfinity Or Spectrum
Xfinity
Comcast owns Peacock, and Xfinity customers get it in several ways: as an included perk for some Xfinity members, through StreamSaver bundles, or as a paid Premium Plus upgrade on the Xfinity bill. Anything that appears on your Xfinity bill is managed at xfinity.com/account, not at peacocktv.com. Xfinity says that when you cancel Premium Plus or the Peacock promotion through them, you lose access immediately, not at the end of the month, so time it accordingly.
The trap here is paying twice. Xfinity warns that an existing paid Peacock subscription billed somewhere else keeps running until you cancel it, and overlapping periods are not refunded. If you claimed a free Xfinity offer, check that your old direct, Apple or Roku subscription is actually cancelled.
Spectrum
Peacock’s help centre gives two sets of steps depending on whether your Spectrum offer period is still running.
Offer still active: sign in to your Peacock account, go to Upcoming Payments, click Cancel Payment and confirm.
Offer already ended: sign in, go to Plans and Payments, select Change or Cancel Plan, then Cancel Plan, and confirm. The plan will not renew after the current billing cycle.
DIRECTV, Verizon and Xumo TV work like Xfinity: cancel through your account with the provider.
Peacock From Walmart+, Instacart+ Or Another Bundle
Membership perks are not really subscriptions you can cancel on their own. You are not paying Peacock, so there is nothing at Peacock to stop.
Partner
Peacock tier
How to stop it
Walmart+
Premium, with ads
Switch the perk to Paramount+ at your next switch window (offered every three months), or cancel Walmart+ itself
Instacart+
Premium, with ads
The perk is tied to your Instacart+ membership; cancel Instacart+ in the Instacart app if you want to end both
Apple TV and Peacock bundle
Premium or Premium Plus
Cancel wherever you bought it: Apple Subscriptions or the Peacock Account page
Xfinity StreamSaver
Varies by bundle
Change the bundle at xfinity.com/account
One thing to check carefully. If you paid Walmart extra to upgrade the perk to ad-free Premium Plus, that upgrade is a paid add-on and needs removing separately. And Instacart requires that you have no active Peacock subscription when you activate its perk, so if you somehow ended up with both, cancel the paid one through whoever bills it. If you want the full exit steps for the parent memberships, see our guides on how to cancel Walmart+ and how to cancel Xfinity.
No Cancel Button? Why Peacock Cannot Cancel It For You
This is the single biggest sticking point. People sign in to peacocktv.com, find no Cancel All Subscriptions option, call or chat with Peacock, and are told to go elsewhere. That is not a runaround. Peacock’s help centre says outright that it cannot cancel a subscription billed by a partner, because the partner holds your payment details.
Your statement names your biller. Match the merchant name to the table at the top of this guide. That is your answer.
You may have two Peacock accounts. If the account you are signed into shows a free or expired plan but you are still being charged, the charge belongs to another email address. Search your inbox for Peacock receipts to find it.
The TV app is the wrong place to look if Peacock bills you directly. Use a browser.
Reactivating needs a clean break. Peacock says your existing plan must fully lapse before you can reactivate through a different partner.
Downgrade Instead Of Cancelling
If the August 2026 increase is the problem rather than Peacock itself, a smaller plan may be enough. Moving from Premium Plus to Premium saves $7 a month, and moving from Premium to Select saves another $4, as long as you can live with ads and, on Select, without live sports, movies and Peacock Originals.
Sign in at peacocktv.com and open Account.
Click Change Plan.
Use the toggle to choose monthly or annual billing for each plan.
Pick the cheaper plan and confirm. The confirmation screen shows when the new price starts.
Peacock’s help centre lists the same Change Plan screen for people billed through Roku, Apple, Amazon or Google. Retention offers are worth a look too: people starting a cancellation have reported discounted rates for several months, though offers vary and are not guaranteed.
Cancelling An Annual Plan
Annual plans follow the same steps, but the money works differently. Cancelling an annual plan stops the next yearly renewal; it does not end your access early or return the unused months. Peacock’s terms say no prorated refunds or credits are issued unless the law requires it or you make an immediate upgrade.
Cancel any time during the year and keep watching until the anniversary date.
Your old price holds until renewal. Annual subscribers were not moved to the August 2026 prices mid-term; the new rate applies when the plan renews, which is why cancelling before that date matters.
Set a reminder for the renewal date. An annual charge of up to $199.99 is the most expensive Peacock surprise there is, and it lands a year after you last thought about it.
Signed Up For One Game Or Event?
A large share of Peacock sign-ups come from a single event: an exclusive NFL game, NBA nights, Premier League weekends, WWE premium events or the Olympics. Peacock does not sell event passes, so watching any of these means a full monthly plan that renews automatically. Live sports are not included in Select, so these subscribers are on Premium or Premium Plus.
You can cancel the moment you sign up. Access continues to the end of the month you paid for, so the game is still yours and you are guaranteed not to be charged again. If you plan to come back for the next season, note that prices for returning customers are the current ones, not whatever you paid last time.

Peacock no longer has a free tier for new customers, so once your plan ends you cannot keep streaming without paying. You can still sign in to manage the account or resubscribe.
Cancel Peacock Or Delete Your Account?
Most people only need to cancel. Deleting goes further, and because a Peacock login is an NBCUniversal profile, it can affect more than Peacock.

The NBCUniversal privacy page linked from Peacock’s help centre
To delete your Peacock account, cancel any partner billing first, then follow the privacy request steps from Peacock’s help article on deleting your account. Peacock warns that deletion removes your plan and may be treated as a cancellation under its terms, so do not expect a refund for the rest of the period.
Can You Get A Peacock Refund?
Usually not. Peacock’s help centre says no refunds or credits are issued unless required by law, and the terms add that there are no prorated refunds for partial months or years. There are still a few situations worth trying:
An unexpected renewal you did not use. Peacock’s terms keep discretionary refunds open. If you were charged and have not watched anything since, contact support through Get in Touch in the help centre and ask.
Apple, Google, Roku or Amazon billed you. Refund requests go to them, and Apple and Google in particular have their own request forms.
You were charged twice. Overlapping partner and direct subscriptions are a common cause. Cancel the duplicate first, then ask the biller about the extra charge, though Xfinity says overlap is not refunded.
You never authorised the charge. Report it to Peacock first. A chargeback with your bank is the last resort, not the first move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cancel my Peacock subscription?
Sign in at peacocktv.com, open Account, choose Cancel All Subscriptions and confirm. If that option is missing, cancel with whoever bills you: Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, Xfinity or another partner.
How do I cancel my Peacock account completely?
Cancel the subscription first, then submit a deletion request through the NBCUniversal privacy page that Peacock’s help centre links to. Deletion removes your history and may affect other NBCUniversal services.
How much does Peacock cost per month?
Since August 2026: Select is $8.99, Premium is $12.99 and Premium Plus is $19.99 a month in the US. Annual plans are $89.99, $129.99 and $199.99.
Does Peacock have a free trial?
Not when you sign up directly in 2026. Free or cheap access comes through partners, such as an Instacart+ trial or the Walmart+ perk, and those convert to paid memberships if you do not cancel them.
Can I cancel Peacock on my TV?
Only on Roku, and only if Roku bills you: press the star button on the Peacock channel and choose Manage subscription. Direct subscribers must use a browser.
Do I keep Peacock until the end of the month?
Yes, for direct and app store subscriptions your plan runs to the end of the paid term. Cancelling through Xfinity can end access immediately.
Will Peacock refund my annual plan?
Generally no. You keep access until the year ends, and cancelling only stops the next renewal.
How do I cancel Peacock on Amazon?
On amazon.com, go to Account, then Memberships and Subscriptions, find Peacock and cancel. Prime Video Channels subscriptions are also listed under Channels in Prime Video settings.
Can I come back to Peacock later?
Yes. Sign in with the same account and choose a plan. You will pay the current price, not the one you had before.
More Cancellation Guides
For a full subscription cleanup, start with our guide on how to cancel subscriptions online, then work through the streaming services people most often forget:
Check your statement: PEACOCK means the website, APPLE.COM/BILL means iPhone Settings, GOOGLE means the Play Store, ROKU or AMAZON means cancel with them.
On peacocktv.com, open Account and choose Cancel All Subscriptions.
Do it no later than the day before your billing date, ideally a few days earlier.
On Xfinity, Spectrum, Walmart+ or Instacart+, cancel or switch through the partner.
Consider downgrading to Premium or Select if the 2026 price rise is the only problem.
Screenshot the confirmation and check the Account page shows an end date, not a renewal date.
