There are a few different ways to cancel PBS Kids, and the right one depends on how you signed up. This guide covers cancellation through the PBS Kids website, app stores, and third-party billing.
PBS Kids subscriptions are usually billed directly through PBS, but many parents sign up through app stores during their kids' screen time. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you won't see a cancel option in your PBS account.
Follow these steps to cancel your PBS Kids subscription directly. If you're billed through an app store, see the alternative methods section.
Go to pbskids.org and click Sign In in the top right corner. Enter your email and password to access your account.
Once logged in, click on your profile icon and select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
Look for the Subscription or Billing section in your account settings. This will show your current PBS Kids plan and billing information.
Click Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. You may be asked to complete a brief feedback survey about your experience.
Review the cancellation details and confirm. You should receive a confirmation email, and your access will continue until the end of your current billing period.
A few things that might affect your PBS Kids cancellation depending on how you subscribed.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
Look at your credit card statement to see if you're being charged by PBS, Apple, Google, or another provider. You'll need to cancel through whoever is charging you.
Once you cancel, your kids can still use PBS Kids until your current billing period expires. You won't lose access immediately.
Just removing the PBS Kids app from your device won't stop the subscription charges. You need to actively cancel through your account or app store.
If you're looking to reduce costs or limit screen time, you might consider these alternatives instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't cancel through your PBS Kids account, you may need to go through app stores. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
Cancel through the App Store if you subscribed using an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV.
