How to Cancel Your Paramount+ Essential (CBS) Subscription

The Paramount+ Essential plan - the successor to CBS All Access's entry tier - can be canceled directly on the Paramount+ website if you signed up there. If you subscribed through Apple, Google, or Amazon, billing is handled by that store and you must cancel through it. Access continues until the end of your billing cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Essential plan the same as old CBS All Access?

Paramount+ replaced CBS All Access; the Essential tier is its ad-supported entry plan. Cancellation follows the same Paramount+ steps.

Will I get a refund for the rest of the month?

No. Paramount+ does not refund or prorate unused time; you keep access until the billing cycle ends.

How do I know where I'm billed?

Check the charge on your statement - if it references Apple, Google, or Amazon, cancel through that store rather than the Paramount+ site.
