So, you're ready to cancel Peacock. Maybe you signed up for the Olympics, binged all of 'The Office' for the tenth time, or you're just tired of another subscription fee hitting your bank account. Peacock, launched by NBCUniversal in 2020, offers plans from $5.99 to $11.99 a month. We'll walk you through canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android. Getting this done can save you up to $120 a year. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Peacock on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Peacock through the App Store, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. You can't do it in the Peacock app itself, which is a common point of confusion.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all your device and account settings are managed.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
At the very top of the Settings screen, you'll see your name and profile picture. Tap on this banner to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and media settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You might need to sign in or use Face ID to continue. This will show you a list of all your active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel Peacock
Scroll through the list to find Peacock. Tap on it, and then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Peacock on Android
For Android users who signed up via the Google Play Store, the cancellation process is managed directly through your Google account, not the Peacock app.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary hub for managing apps and subscriptions on Android.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with various account options.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the profile menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This section contains your payment methods, budget history, and active subscriptions.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Cancel Your Peacock Subscription
Find Peacock in the list and tap on it. At the bottom of the screen, tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. It's a bit buried, but it's in there.
How to Cancel Peacock on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling directly on the Peacock website is usually the easiest method, as it avoids dealing with third-party app stores like Apple or Google.
1 Visit the Peacock Website
Open your web browser and go to PeacockTV.com. This is often the most straightforward way to cancel, regardless of how you watch.
2 Sign In to Your Account
Click the Sign In button at the top-right corner and enter your email and password.
3 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once you're signed in, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Account from the dropdown menu.
4 Find Your Plan Information
In the Account section, look for the Plans & Payment tab. This area shows your current subscription details.
5 Change or Cancel Your Plan
You should see a link that says Change or Cancel Plan. Click it. Peacock will likely present you with an offer to stay. You'll have to scroll past it and confirm that you want to cancel. Honestly, I had to click cancel twice before it actually stuck.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you hit that cancel button, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- No Prorated Refunds: Peacock does not offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel, you can continue to use the service until the end of your current billing cycle. Don't expect any money back if you cancel a day after your renewal.
- Your Account Stays: Canceling your subscription doesn't delete your account. Your watch history and preferences will usually be saved, making it easy to resubscribe later if you change your mind.
- Check Your Provider: If you get Peacock through a cable provider like Xfinity or Cox, or another service like Roku, you must cancel through that specific provider. You cannot cancel on the Peacock website directly.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Peacock Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find the Cancel Option? The most common reason is that you subscribed through a third party. If you signed up on your iPhone, you must cancel through Apple Subscriptions. If you used an Android device, cancel through the Google Play Store. If you got it via Roku, you have to cancel on your Roku device or account.
- Website Issues: Sometimes the website can be glitchy. Try logging in from a different browser or using an incognito/private window. This often resolves weird caching problems.
- Use a Computer: If the mobile app or site isn't working, always try canceling on a desktop or laptop. The website version is generally more reliable for account management.
- Contact Support: If all else fails, you may need to contact Peacock's customer support directly. Be prepared for a wait, but they can manually cancel the subscription for you as a last resort.
