Here’s a step-by-step guide to canceling your Peacock subscription through the web, Android, iOS, or third-party platforms. You will find all account and payment-related information in this post. Keep reading to learn more.
Peacock TV is a streaming service by NBCUniversal which is an American media conglomerate owned by Comcast. Peacock TV is home to shows like Vampire Academy, Pitch Perfect, That 70’s Show, and a host of exciting movies, TV shows, and live content. It has three subscription modes – free, premium, and premium plus.
Yes, unlike Netflix, Peacock does have a free version that you can use to access a bunch of good-quality content. The premium version gives you access to 80,000 hours of content, and the premium plus version gives you an ad-free experience and lets you download content to watch offline.
While Peacock is cheaper than something like Netflix, with its premium plus package costing you $10 per month as opposed to Netflix premium which costs $20 per month, it has a higher churn rate – about 13% in Q2 of 2022. With that in mind, it is important to learn how to unsubscribe from Peacock. Remember, these subscriptions are made with auto-debit payment plans, so, if you fail to cancel a subscription on time, you might end up paying for content that you do not even want to watch. In the following sections, we’ll discuss how to unsubscribe from Peacock’s premium or premium plus plans from different platforms.
How to cancel Peacock through the web?
If you subscribed to Peacock directly through their website, you need to unsubscribe from it from the same platform. If you are out of the USA, you will need a VPN with US servers to access the website and sign in to it. Once you are signed in to your Peacock account, follow the steps.
Step 1.
Log in to your Peacock account.
Step 2.
Click on account on the top right corner
Step 3.
Click on Plans and Payments
Step 4.
Select Change or Cancel Plan
Step 5.
Select Cancel Plan
Once you confirm the cancellation, you will see a confirmation message on your screen and get a confirmation email on your registered email ID in a few hours.
Remember, you can also downgrade your plan by selecting Change plan from the options. For instance, you can downgrade from Peacock Premium Plus to Peacock Premium, which offers the same content but with ads and doesn’t let you download the content.
