How to Cancel Peacock and Stop Auto-Renewal
Quick Answer
You can usually cancel Peacock by signing in to your Peacock account, going to Plans & Payments, and selecting Cancel Plan. Peacock says you should see an on-screen confirmation and receive a confirmation email after cancellation.
The important catch: you must cancel through whoever bills you. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or a promotional partner, Peacock may not be able to cancel the billing directly from your Peacock account. Peacock’s terms say third-party subscriptions are billed and canceled through that third party.
Deleting the Peacock app does not cancel the subscription. That just removes the app from your device while the billing can keep going.
Before You Cancel Peacock
Before you hit the cancel button, check these three things:
1. Who is billing you?
Look at your card statement or email receipts. The charge may show up from:
Peacock or NBCUniversal
Apple
Google Play
Roku
Amazon / Prime Video
A cable, internet, mobile, or promotional partner
This matters because Peacock’s own terms say that if you signed up through a third party, your billing relationship is with that third party, not Peacock.
2. When is your next renewal date?
Peacock subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled. Peacock’s terms say you need to cancel no later than the day before your next recurring billing date to avoid the next charge.
3. Will you lose access immediately?
Usually, cancellation stops future billing and you keep access through the end of the current subscription term. Peacock’s terms say access generally continues through the end of the applicable subscription term unless a free trial, promotion, refund, or other exception applies.
How to Cancel Peacock on the Peacock Website
Use this path if Peacock bills you directly.
Go to Peacock and sign in.
Open your account menu.
Go to Plans & Payments.

How to Cancel Peacock on iPhone or iPad
Use this if your Peacock subscription is billed through Apple.
Open the Settings app.
Tap your name.
Tap Subscriptions.
Select Peacock.
Tap Cancel Subscription.
Confirm the cancellation.
Apple says that if there is no cancel button, or if you see an expiration message, the subscription is already canceled.
If Peacock does not appear under Apple subscriptions, you may have subscribed somewhere else, such as Peacock directly, Roku, Amazon, or Google Play.
How to Cancel Peacock on Android or Google Play
Use this if your Peacock subscription is billed through Google Play.
Open Google Play or go to your Google Play subscriptions.
Make sure you are signed in to the correct Google account.
Select Peacock.
Tap Cancel subscription.
Follow the instructions.
Google notes that uninstalling an app does not cancel the subscription. Google also says that after cancellation, you can usually keep using the subscription for the time you already paid for.
How to Cancel Peacock Through Amazon or Prime Video
Use this if Peacock was added as a Prime Video channel or billed through Amazon.
Go to Amazon or Prime Video Account & Settings.
Open Your subscriptions.
Find Peacock.
Select Unsubscribe or Cancel Subscription.
Confirm the cancellation.
Amazon’s Prime Video help says add-on subscriptions can be canceled from Account & Settings > Your subscriptions, and the confirmation screen shows the subscription end date.
How to Cancel Peacock Through Roku
Use this if your Peacock charge is billed by Roku.
Go to your Roku account or open subscription management on your Roku device.
Find Peacock in your active subscriptions.
Choose Manage subscription.
Select Cancel subscription.
Confirm the cancellation.
If Peacock does not show up in Roku subscriptions, check whether you subscribed directly through Peacock, Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or another provider.
How to Cancel Peacock From a Promotional Partner
Some Peacock subscriptions are connected to promotions, internet providers, mobile providers, bundles, or other third-party offers.
If your Peacock account says you are billed by a partner, you may need to cancel through that partner’s website, app, or customer support. Peacock’s terms say third-party billing and cancellation are controlled by the third party’s subscription terms.
Look for the original signup email. It may say something like “included with,” “redeemed through,” “billed by,” or “managed by.”
Common Peacock Cancellation Roadblocks
“I do not see a Cancel Plan button”
That usually means one of three things:
You are not signed into the account that owns the subscription.
Peacock is not billing you directly.
The plan may already be canceled or tied to a promotion.
Check your email receipts and card statement before assuming the cancellation failed.
“Peacock tells me to cancel somewhere else”
That is a billing-provider clue. It usually means Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or another partner controls the subscription.
“I deleted the app but still got charged”
Deleting the app does not stop billing. You need to cancel the subscription or turn off auto-renewal through the billing provider.
“I canceled, but Peacock still works”
That can be normal. Many streaming subscriptions stay active until the end of the paid billing period after auto-renewal is turned off. Peacock’s terms say access generally continues through the end of the subscription term after cancellation, with some exceptions.
How to Confirm Peacock Is Actually Canceled
Do not stop at “I think I canceled it.” Confirm it.
Look for at least one of these:
A Peacock confirmation email
A canceled status in Plans & Payments
An expiration date instead of a renewal date
Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or Roku showing the subscription as canceled
A screenshot of the final cancellation confirmation page
Save the screenshot or confirmation email until after the next billing date passes.
What to Do If Peacock Charges You After Cancellation
Check the charge description on your bank or card statement.
Search your email for “Peacock,” “NBCUniversal,” “Apple,” “Google Play,” “Roku,” “Amazon,” and “Prime Video.”
Confirm which account and billing provider handled the subscription.
Contact the billing provider that processed the charge.
Ask about refund eligibility, but do not assume a refund is guaranteed.
Save screenshots, receipts, cancellation confirmations, and support chats.
Consider a card dispute only after reasonable direct attempts, unless the charge is clearly unauthorized.
Peacock’s terms say it generally does not issue prorated refunds or credits unless required by law or in specific cases such as an immediate upgrade, though it may issue refunds, credits, or discounts at its discretion.
The Not-Subscribed Note
Peacock is a good example of app-store billing confusion mixed with normal subscription auto-renewal. The service may be Peacock, but the bill might belong to Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, or a promotion partner.
That is why the smartest first step is not “Where is the cancel button?” It is:
Once you know that, the cancellation path gets much less mysterious.
