Can I unsubscribe from Showtime anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your Showtime (Paramount+) subscription whenever you want. There are no contracts. Just remember you won't get a prorated refund, but you can keep watching until your current billing period ends.

Can I get a refund from Showtime if I forgot to cancel?

Nope. It's incredibly rare for streaming services like this to offer refunds if you forget to cancel. Once the charge goes through, you've paid for that month or year. It's annoying, but that's their policy.

How do I know my Showtime subscription is cancelled?

You should get a confirmation email. To be extra sure, go back to the 'Subscriptions' section where you canceled (on the website, Apple, or Google) and it should say 'Expires on [Date]' instead of 'Renews on [Date]'.

How long does it take for Showtime to cancel?

The cancellation itself is instant. Your account will be set to expire at the end of your billing cycle. You don't have to wait for it to process.

What else should I know before I cancel my Showtime subscription?

The most important thing is to remember *where* you signed up. If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or your cable provider, you must cancel it there. This guide covers the main platforms, but your billing source is key.

How do I raise a complaint to Showtime?

Your best bet is to use the Paramount+ Help Center's contact form. They don't make it easy to speak to a person directly. Be prepared to navigate through some FAQs before you find the form to submit a complaint.

How to Cancel Your Showtime Subscription (2025)

How to Cancel Showtime on iPhone or iPad (iOS)

If you signed up for Showtime using your Apple ID through the App Store, this is how you cancel. It's managed by Apple, not directly through Showtime's website.

1 Open the Settings App

Find and tap the gray gear icon on your home screen to open your device's Settings.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other media settings.

3 Select 'Subscriptions'

On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. You might have to scroll down a bit to find it, it's usually listed below 'Payment & Shipping'.

4 Find and Cancel Showtime

Look for Showtime in your list of active subscriptions. Tap on it, then select the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice, and that's it. Honestly, I had to tap it twice before the confirmation screen popped up, so be patient.

How to Cancel Showtime on Android

For those who subscribed via the Showtime app on an Android device, your billing is handled by Google Play. Follow these steps to cancel.

1 Open the Google Play Store

Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet. This is where all your app-based subscriptions are managed.

2 Access Your Subscriptions

Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner. In the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions.

3 Go to 'Subscriptions'

From the 'Payments & subscriptions' screen, tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all your active and expired services.

4 Locate and Cancel Showtime

Find Showtime in the list and tap on it. You'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm. Google will ask for a reason, but you can just pick any option to proceed.

How to Cancel Showtime on a Desktop or Laptop

This method is for anyone who signed up directly on the Showtime website (which is now Paramount+). If you subscribed through another service like Hulu or Amazon, you must cancel there instead.

1 Visit the Paramount+ Website

Since Showtime is now part of Paramount+, you need to go to the Paramount+ website in your web browser. The old Showtime site will just redirect you here anyway.

2 Log In to Your Account

In the top-right corner, click Sign In and enter the credentials you used when you first subscribed to Showtime.

3 Navigate to Account Settings

Once logged in, hover over your profile name or icon in the top-right corner and click on Account from the dropdown menu.

4 Find the Subscription Section

On the Account page, scroll down until you see the Subscription & Billing section. This is where the cancellation link is hiding.

5 Cancel Your Subscription

Click on Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts. They will likely offer you a discount or a special deal to convince you to stay. Just click through the offers until you get a final confirmation that your subscription is cancelled.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your Showtime Subscription?

It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common reasons why it might be difficult:

You Subscribed Through a Third Party: This is the most common issue. If you signed up for Showtime through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Hulu, Roku, your cable provider, or another service, you must cancel through that specific service. The Paramount+ website won't have an option to cancel for you.
Login From a Computer: Sometimes, the mobile app or mobile website hides the cancellation options. Try logging into your account from a desktop or laptop computer for better access to account settings.
Browser Issues: Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies or using an incognito/private window. A weird glitch could be preventing the page from loading correctly.
Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, find the 'Help' or 'Contact Us' link on the Paramount+ website. Reaching out to their support team might be your last resort to get it cancelled manually. Be prepared for a bit of a wait.
