The way you cancel Discovery+ depends on where you signed up. We cover all the options below, including direct billing, app stores, and TV provider cancellations.
Discovery+ is often bundled with TV packages or included in phone carrier promotions. If you signed up through one of these, you won't see a cancel option in your Discovery+ account — you'll need to cancel through the original provider instead.
Follow these steps to cancel your Discovery+ subscription. The process may vary slightly depending on how you originally signed up.
Go to discoveryplus.com and log in using your email and password. Make sure you're using the account that has the active subscription.
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Account from the dropdown menu to access your billing settings.
Look for Subscription or Billing in your account dashboard. This will show your current plan and payment information.
Click Cancel Subscription or Cancel Plan. You may be asked to complete a brief survey about why you're cancelling.
Review the cancellation details and confirm. You should receive a cancellation confirmation email and can continue watching until your current billing period ends.
Discovery+ subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
Look at your credit card or bank statement. If you see charges from Verizon, Hulu, or another provider instead of Discovery, you'll need to cancel through them.
Removing the Discovery+ app from your phone or device doesn't cancel your subscription. You'll continue being charged until you follow the proper cancellation steps.
If you paid for a full year, cancelling won't give you a refund for unused months. Consider waiting until closer to your renewal date.
If cost is the issue, you might be able to downgrade or share your plan instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't cancel through your Discovery+ account, you may need to go through app stores or TV providers. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the app need to cancel via their Apple ID subscription settings.
