Canceling Peacock through third parties
This above method only works if you join through Peacock directly. If you signed up through a third party, you’ll need to follow its cancelation method. Each one has its own way of canceling, and Peacock cannot cancel those for you. Here are links to how to cancel each one:
Once you cancel your Peacock plan, you can still watch the content for the remainder of your billing cycle. If, for example, you signed up for Peacock on the 4th of the month and you canceled on the 22nd, you’d be able to watch until the 4th rolls around again, and then your subscription will end. This is pretty standard for most online subscriptions, as you prepay for the month, so you get to use what you paid for the rest of the billing cycle.

How to tell if your Peacock subscription is active
If you have many subscriptions and can’t remember whether you’re paying for Peacock at the moment, there’s an easy way to check.
- Go to your account on Peacock.
- Look at what it says under Your Plan.
- If it shows an active plan, you’re paying for Peacock, and if it says “Not Currently Subscribed,” then you’ve already canceled.
Obviously, if you never signed up for a Peacock account in the first place, this won’t work. Then again, if you never signed up for an account, there’s no way you’d have an active subscription either.
Can you get a refund if you already paid for Peacock?
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get a refund for the remaining billing period if you cancel your Peacock subscription. This is the case even if you choose to cancel one day into your billing cycle. As mentioned, you can use your subscription for the remainder of the billing period, but getting a refund isn’t an option.
On its support page, Peacock says, ” No refunds or credits will be issued for any prior payments made when you cancel (or downgrade) a Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus plan.”
