How to cancel a Peacock subscription
Here's how to cancel a Peacock subscription when you want to quit NBC's streaming service
If you want to cancel a Peacock subscription, it's a simple task. No matter if you want to jump off because you're annoyed about Girls5Eva leaving for Netflix or the quality of WWE shows or if you don't have anything new to watch (Poker Face is right there, you've watched it, right?), we've got all the info you need to stop you from getting billed by Peacock TV.
The good news is that you can finally cancel your Peacock subscription outright. Formerly, back when free Peacock subscriptions were a thing, the way to stop paying for Peacock mostly revolves around plucking the Premium Peacock feather out of your account. Then, you still had a Peacock account — just one that isn't taking between $4.99 and $9.99 (or even less if you used a Peacock TV promo code) from you each month.
Now? Not so much.
Personally, I'm stuck with Peacock. It's the home of WWE live streams in the U.S., so I'll have to finally stop watching those before I can get away from Peacock. The streaming service also has popular exclusives like The Office and Harry Potter movies.
Here's how to downgrade your Peacock subscription to a free account.
