How To Cancel Peacock On Roku & Other Third-party Devices

Like with the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, if you signed up for your Peacock account via a third-party service, another website or on a streaming device, you will need to cancel in the same place, not on the Peacock website. 

For example, if you subscribed to Peacocktv.com/tv on Roku, you can cancel your subscription on your Roku streaming device or the Roku website. The steps for Roku’s website are: 

  1. Go to my.roku.com and sign in 
  2. Go to “manage your subscriptions”
  3. Find Peacock in the channels list
  4. Select “unsubscribe” 

Can I Get a Peacock Refund?

If you cancel your Peacock subscription, you will no longer be charged once your current billing cycle ends. Unfortunately, Peacock will not refund you for payments you have already made. According to Peacock’s refund policy, it does not typically offer refunds. If it does, it’s at the service’s discretion. 

Can I Resubscribe to Peacock?

Yes. If you kept the free version of Peacock, you can go to “plans and payment” in your account and upgrade to a paid subscription. If you deleted your Peacock account, you’ll need to set up a new account to resubscribe. 

How to Completely Delete Your Peacock Account

You cannot delete your Peacock account via your account settings. To request deletion, you have to contact Peacock’s parent company, NBC. Follow these steps to contact NBC. 

  1. Go to NBC’s Privacy Policy

    Navigate to NBC’s privacy policy on the NBC website.

  2. Go to “Your Rights”

    Scroll down to “your rights.” There, you will find email addresses for deletion requests inside and outside the U.S.

  3. Get in Touch With Peacock (Optional)

    If you need extra help, click “get in touch” in Peacock.com/tv

 

Peacock TV shows, movies and sports content (USA)

The shows and movies you get on Peacock TV in the US depend on whether you're with the free or premium tiers. Movies on Peacock aren't as brilliant as the TV content, but there are some worthy titles. Movies on the free tier aren't wide-ranging, but include We Need to Talk About Kevin, Fever Pitch and Highlander. A big win for Peacock is the inclusion of all the Harry Potter films. But the premium tier unlocks a host of better content, like 50 First Dates, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, 13 Going On 30, three of the Fast & Furious line-up and How To Train Your Dragon 2. TV shows are arguably a bigger deal for Peacock, though, with The Office as a standout pick.

Free tier shows

These are some of the shows that have free episodes or full series:

The Office, Parks and Recreation, Weeds, Everybody Hates Chris, Eureka, The Fall, Battlestar Galactica (the modern version), Parenthood, Suits, New Amsterdam, Psych, House, Monk, Bates Hotel, Downton Abbey, Friday Night Lights, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Frasier, Cheers

Premium tier shows

If you're willing to spend $4.99 or more, the TV offering ramps up a little, with full series of all of the above and more. Here's a sample what you can get on Peacock TV's Premium/Premium Plus tiers:

Superstore, Bumper in Berlin, Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, Bel-Air, The Thing About Pam, Charmed, Saturday Night Live and more. If you want to watch NBC shows the day after they air, too, you'll want the Premium Plus Tier. 

Live TV events
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers (on at an earlier time), NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, Premier League matches, Sunday Night Football, Golf and WWE.
