To cancel your Peacock subscription directly through your TV, the process varies depending on the device and platform you are using. Many smart TVs and streaming devices offer access to Peacock through apps that may be linked to different app stores or subscription services. Understanding how your subscription is managed will help you cancel efficiently.

If you subscribed to Peacock via the app on a smart TV or streaming device, your subscription is often managed through the device’s app store or subscription management system rather than directly through Peacock’s website. Follow these steps for common platforms:

  • Roku TV or Roku Streaming Device:

You manage your Peacock subscription through Roku’s system.

  • Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick:

Subscriptions are managed via Amazon’s subscription services.

  • Apple TV:

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, cancel through your Apple ID subscriptions.

Important Considerations When Canceling Peacock on Your TV

  • Billing Source Matters: Your Peacock subscription is often billed through the platform where you signed up (e.g., Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google). Canceling via the Peacock app or website may not stop billing if your subscription was purchased through a third party.
  • Access to Account Settings: If you cannot find subscription options on your TV, visit the subscription provider’s website (e.g., Roku.com, Amazon.com) to manage and cancel your subscription.
  • Cancellation Timing: Canceling before the next billing cycle prevents future charges, but you generally retain access to Peacock until the end of the current paid period.
  • No Refund Policy: Peacock typically does not offer refunds for partial subscription periods after cancellation, so plan your cancellation accordingly.
  • Subscription Confirmation: Always verify that you receive a cancellation confirmation via email or on the subscription management screen to ensure your subscription is successfully canceled.

How to Verify Cancellation

After completing cancellation steps, confirm that your subscription is no longer active by:

  • Checking your account subscriptions page on the device or service where you originally subscribed.
  • Looking for an email confirmation indicating your subscription has been canceled.
  • Attempting to access premium content on Peacock; canceled subscriptions will restrict access to paid features.

If you encounter issues or the subscription remains active after cancellation attempts, contact the customer support team of the platform through which you subscribed (e.g., Roku Support, Amazon Support) for further assistance.

Expert Guidance on Cancelling Peacock Subscriptions on Your TV

Jessica Lin (Streaming Services Analyst, Digital Media Insights). When cancelling Peacock on your TV, it is essential to first identify how you subscribed—whether directly through Peacock or via a third-party platform like Roku or Amazon Fire TV. Direct cancellations can typically be done within the Peacock app’s account settings, while third-party subscriptions require managing your subscription through the respective device’s account management system to avoid continued billing.

To effectively cancel Peacock on your TV, users should navigate to the subscription or billing section of the app or device interface.

From a product management perspective, the user experience for cancelling Peacock subscriptions on smart TVs can vary widely depending on the manufacturer and operating system. We recommend consulting the TV manufacturer’s support documentation alongside Peacock’s official cancellation instructions to ensure a seamless process and prevent unexpected charges after cancellation.
