How to Cancel Peacock Subscription on Roku

Cancelling your Peacock subscription on Roku can be done in a few easy steps. It’s important to remember that if you’ve subscribed through Roku Pay, you need to cancel it directly on your Roku device or via the Roku website. Here’s how:

Cancel on Your Roku Device

1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote to access the main screen.
2. Navigate to the channel lineup and highlight the Peacock TV app. Don’t open the app; instead, press the asterisk (*) button on your remote to open the options menu.
3. Select ‘Manage subscription’ from the menu. Roku will then display your subscription details, including the next billing date.
4. Choose ‘Cancel subscription.’ Follow any additional prompts to confirm your cancellation. Roku may ask you to provide a reason for cancellation.
5. Once you confirm the cancellation, Roku will process it, and you’ll see a message confirming that your subscription has been canceled. Keep an eye on your email associated with your Roku account, as you should receive a confirmation email as well.

Cancel via the Roku Website

1. Go to my.roku.com on your web browser and sign in to your Roku account.
2. Under the ‘Manage account’ section, click on ‘Manage your subscriptions.’
3. On this page, you’ll see all the channels you’re subscribed to through Roku Pay.
4. Find Peacock TV in the list and select ‘Unsubscribe’ or ‘Cancel subscription.’ Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.

It’s as simple as that! After cancelling, you can still enjoy your Peacock subscription until the end of your current billing period. Remember, if you signed up for Peacock directly through their website or another platform, you’ll need to cancel through that specific service instead of Roku.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will I receive a refund after canceling my Peacock subscription on Roku?

Typically, you will not receive a refund after canceling your Peacock subscription on Roku. Subscriptions are prepaid for the period you’ve chosen (monthly or yearly), and Peacock does not offer refunds for any partially used periods. However, you will still have access to the service until the end of your current billing cycle.

How can I check my current billing cycle or subscription status?

To check your current billing cycle or subscription status for Peacock on Roku, you can navigate to the ‘Manage subscription’ option for the Peacock app on your Roku device. Alternatively, you can check this information through your Roku account on the website under the ‘Manage your subscriptions’ section. This will show you your next billing date and subscription details.

Can I re-subscribe to Peacock on Roku after cancelling?

Yes, you can re-subscribe to Peacock on Roku at any time after cancelling. If you decide you want to start watching Peacock again, simply go to the Peacock channel on your Roku device and select ‘Subscribe.’ You’ll be prompted to choose your subscription plan, and once you complete the sign-up process, you can resume streaming.

What happens to my viewing history and preferences if I cancel Peacock and then decide to re-subscribe later?

If you cancel your Peacock subscription but choose to re-subscribe later, your viewing history, preferences, and any saved shows or movies should still be available as long as you use the same account details to re-subscribe. Peacock typically retains your account information and preferences to make it easy for returning subscribers to pick up where they left off.

Are there any alternative methods to cancel a Peacock subscription if I can’t do it through Roku?

If you’re unable to cancel your Peacock subscription through Roku, it’s likely because you didn’t originally subscribe via Roku Pay. In this case, you’ll need to cancel through the platform you used to sign up. If you subscribed directly through Peacock, you can cancel by logging into your account on the Peacock website and following the prompts under the account settings. If you subscribed through another service (like Apple iTunes or Google Play), you’ll need to cancel through those specific services’ subscription management sections.

Will cancelling my Peacock subscription on Roku cancel my Peacock account?

Cancelling your Peacock subscription on Roku will only cancel the subscription itself and not your entire Peacock account. Your account will revert to the free tier of Peacock, allowing you to access a limited selection of content without a premium subscription. You can choose to re-subscribe at any time through Roku or another platform using the same account details.

Is it possible to pause my Peacock subscription instead of cancelling?

As of the last update, Peacock does not offer an option to pause subscriptions directly through its service or via Roku. If you’re looking to stop the service temporarily, you will need to cancel your subscription. However, you can re-subscribe at any later time if you decide you want to access Peacock’s content again. Always check Peacock’s official site or contact their customer support for the most current information, as their policies may change.

If I cancel my subscription before the trial period ends, will I still be charged?

If you cancel your Peacock subscription before your free trial ends, you will not be charged. It’s important to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period is due to expire to avoid being automatically enrolled into a paid subscription. You’ll continue to have access to Peacock Premium until the end of the trial period, even after cancellation.

Can I manage or cancel my Peacock subscription on Roku using the mobile app?

Yes, you can manage or cancel your Peacock subscription on Roku using the Roku mobile app. Within the app, access your account and navigate to ‘Manage Subscriptions.’ Here, you’ll find a list of all your active subscriptions through Roku, including Peacock. You can select Peacock and proceed with the cancellation process directly from your mobile device.

Cancelling your Peacock subscription on Roku is a simple process, whether you choose to do it directly on your Roku device or via the Roku website. Remember to check your current subscription status if you’re unsure when your billing cycle ends. If you decide to return to Peacock, re-subscribing is just as easy, allowing you to jump back into your favorite content whenever you’re ready.
