Peacock TV, NBC’s streaming service, is home to a massive library of movies and TV shows, as well as a variety of live content. If you’ve signed up and decided the paid plans aren’t for you, this guide explains how to cancel Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus.
The central theses:
- If you are subscribed to a Peacock Premium Plan through the Peacock Website, you may cancel or downgrade your subscription in your Account Settings. If you signed up through a third-party service or device such as Roku, the Apple App Store, or the Google Play Store, you must cancel your Peacock subscription through that service.
- If you cancel or downgrade a Peacock premium plan, you can still access Peacock’s free plan, which includes a library of movies and TV series.
- To permanently delete your Peacock account and information associated with it, you must contact NBC.
Peacock’s paid plans are Peacock Premium, which gives you access to over 80,000 hours of content, and Peacock Premium Plus, which lets you watch content ad-free and download tracks to watch offline.
The good news is that even if you cancel your Peacock Premium subscription, you can still get plenty of content without spending a dime with Peacock’s free plan. If that sounds good to you, let’s look at how you can cancel or downgrade your Peacock Premium plan.
