In today’s world of endless streaming options, it’s not uncommon for viewers to switch services based on their changing preferences and needs. Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, offers a variety of content ranging from hit TV shows to exclusive movies and live sports. However, there may come a time when you decide that Peacock no longer fits your entertainment lineup, prompting the need to cancel your subscription.

Canceling a streaming service like Peacock can sometimes feel confusing, especially with different subscription plans and payment methods involved. Whether you signed up directly through Peacock, via an app store, or through a third-party provider, understanding the cancellation process is key to avoiding unwanted charges and ensuring a smooth transition. Knowing what to expect can save you time and frustration.

This article will guide you through the essentials of canceling your Peacock streaming service, offering clarity on what steps to take and what to keep in mind before you proceed. Whether you’re looking to pause your subscription or end it altogether, we’ll help you navigate the process with confidence.

Canceling Peacock Subscription via Web Browser

To cancel your Peacock subscription using a web browser, you need to access your account settings directly on the Peacock website. This method is applicable if you subscribed through Peacock’s own platform or if you want to manage your subscription independently from other services.

First, log in to your Peacock account at peacocktv.com. After logging in, navigate to your profile by clicking on your profile icon located in the upper right corner of the homepage. Select “Account Settings” or “Subscription” from the dropdown menu.

Within the subscription settings, you will see details of your current plan. Look for an option labeled “Cancel Subscription” or “Cancel Plan.” Clicking this will initiate the cancellation process. You may be asked to confirm your decision or provide feedback about why you are canceling.

Keep in mind that your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle, allowing you to continue enjoying Peacock’s content until then. After cancellation, you will not be charged again.

Canceling Peacock Subscription Through Mobile Apps

If you subscribed to Peacock via a mobile app on iOS or Android, the cancellation process is handled through the respective app store rather than the Peacock app itself.

For iOS users:

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen, then select “Subscriptions.”
  • Find and select your Peacock subscription from the list.
  • Tap “Cancel Subscription” and confirm the cancellation.

For Android users:

  • Open the Google Play Store app.
  • Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select “Subscriptions.”
  • Locate the Peacock subscription.
  • Select “Cancel subscription” and follow the prompts.

After cancellation, your subscription remains active until the end of the billing period, after which it will not renew.

Canceling Peacock via Third-Party Services

If you subscribed to Peacock through a third-party service or platform, such as Roku, Amazon Prime Channels, or Comcast Xfinity, the cancellation must be processed through that provider.

  • Roku: Log in to your Roku account, go to “Manage Subscriptions,” select Peacock, and choose to cancel.
  • Amazon Prime Channels: Access your Amazon account, navigate to “Prime Video Channels,” find Peacock, and cancel the subscription.
  • Comcast Xfinity: Use your Xfinity account portal or contact customer service to cancel your Peacock subscription.

This approach is necessary because third-party services handle billing and subscription management independently from Peacock.
