You can cancel Amazon Prime Video by ending the right subscription (Prime, Video-only, or add-ons) in your Account & Settings before the next renewal date.
Prime Video billing can come from a few places, so the fastest cancel is the one that matches what you’re paying for. This guide walks you through each path, shows where the “End” or “Unsubscribe” buttons hide, and helps you confirm you’re done so you don’t see another charge.
Check Which Prime Video Subscription You Have
Before you tap anything, take one minute to identify the exact plan. Prime Video can be bundled with Amazon Prime, sold as a Prime Video-only plan, or stacked with add-on channels like Max or Paramount+.
- Open Your Orders Page — In Amazon, go to Your Orders and scan recent charges for “Prime,” “Prime Video,” or a channel name.
- Open Your Memberships And Subscriptions — In Amazon, go to Your Memberships & Subscriptions and look for anything with a renewal date.
- Check Prime Video Account Settings — In Prime Video, open Account & Settings to see plan details, add-ons, and upgrades.
| What You’re Paying For | Where The Cancel Button Lives | What Ends When You Cancel |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Prime membership | Amazon Prime membership page | Prime Video plus shipping and other Prime perks |
| Prime Video-only subscription | Prime Video Account & Settings | Only Prime Video access tied to that plan |
| Prime Video add-on channels | Prime Video “Your subscriptions” | That channel only, not Prime or Video-only |
Canceling Amazon Prime Video On Web And App
If you signed up through Prime Video itself, the cancel option sits inside Prime Video’s settings pages. This is the path for a Prime Video-only plan, plus many add-ons and upgrades.
Cancel A Prime Video-Only Plan
Use this when your billing line says Prime Video, and you are not trying to end Amazon Prime.
- Sign In To Prime Video — Go to Prime Video on the web and log into the account that’s being billed.
- Open Account & Settings — Select your profile icon, then choose Account & Settings.
- Open The Your Account Tab — On the settings screen, pick the Your Account area.
- Select End Subscription — Under the Prime Video-only section, choose End Subscription and follow the prompts.
- Confirm The End Date — Make sure you see a message that shows when access stops and that auto-renew is off.
If you want Amazon’s own step list for this screen, the Prime Video help article Cancel My Prime Video Subscription matches the buttons you’ll see on most accounts.
Cancel A Prime Video Add-On Channel
Channels are separate subscriptions. Canceling them is a clean way to cut costs while keeping Prime Video or Prime intact.
- Open Account & Settings — In Prime Video, go to Account & Settings.
- Go To Your Subscriptions — Choose Your subscriptions from the top menu.
- Pick The Channel — Find the channel you no longer want.
- Select Unsubscribe — Tap Unsubscribe, then confirm when prompted.
- Check Renewal Status — Verify the channel shows a canceled state and a final access date.
On many accounts, the menu labels above match the wording shown on Prime Video’s help screens for canceling add-on subscriptions.
Cancel The Prime Video Ad-Free Upgrade
In some regions, Prime Video offers an add-on that reduces ads. It’s separate from Prime or Video-only billing, so you can end it without touching your base plan.
- Open Prime Video Settings — In the Prime Video app or site, go to Settings.
- Open Prime Or Prime & Subscriptions — The label varies by device, but it’s the section that lists upgrades.
- Select Cancel Ad Free — Choose Cancel Ad Free and confirm.
- Verify Your Next Renewal — Look for a note that the add-on ends after the current billing cycle.
If you don’t see an Ad-Free entry, your account may not have that add-on, or your plan may be billed through a third party where upgrades are managed outside Amazon.
Cancel Amazon Prime Membership If Prime Video Is Included
If your plan is Amazon Prime, Prime Video is part of that bundle. Ending Prime ends Prime Video too, along with shipping perks and other Prime features.
- Open Your Prime Membership — In Amazon, go to the Prime membership page while signed in.
- Choose Manage Membership — Look for a Manage or Manage Membership control.
- Select End Membership — Pick the option to end Prime and follow the on-screen steps.
- Review The Final Date — Amazon usually shows the day your benefits stop. Screenshot it for your records.

Cancel Prime Video If You Paid Through Apple, Google, Or A Carrier
When you sign up inside another company’s app store or bundle, Amazon can’t always end the billing from its own screens. You still watch Prime Video with your Amazon login, yet the charge comes from Apple, Google Play, or your mobile provider.
- Check Your Receipt Email — If the receipt is from Apple or Google, cancel in that store’s subscriptions list.
- Check Your Bank Statement Label — Carrier-billed plans often show your carrier name, not Amazon.
- Check Your Prime Video Settings — If you don’t see an End or Unsubscribe button where you expect it, third-party billing is a common reason.
End A Prime Video Subscription On iPhone Or iPad
- Open iOS Subscriptions — Go to Settings, tap your Apple ID banner, then Subscriptions.
- Select Prime Video — Pick the entry tied to Prime Video or a Prime Video add-on.
- Tap Cancel Subscription — Confirm the cancel, then note the date access ends.
End A Prime Video Subscription On Android
- Open Google Play Subscriptions — In the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions.
- Select Subscriptions — Find Prime Video in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription — Follow prompts and save the confirmation screen.
End A Carrier Or Bundle Plan
Some mobile providers bundle Prime Video into a plan. In that case, Prime Video can stay linked to your Amazon account even after you stop paying, until the provider confirms the change.
- Open Your Provider Account — Use the provider’s site or app to manage add-ons.
- Remove The Prime Video Add-On — End the add-on or change the bundle.
- Recheck Prime Video Access — Sign into Prime Video and confirm the plan status updates within a day or two.
Make Sure You Won’t Be Charged Again
Cancel clicks feel done, yet the safer move is to confirm in two places: the place you canceled, and your billing source.
- Look For A Canceled Status — In Prime Video or Amazon, confirm the subscription shows canceled or ends on a specific date.
- Note The Renewal Date — Put the final date in your calendar so you can spot a wrong renewal fast.
- Check Your Payment Method — A day after the usual renewal time, scan your bank or card activity.
- Remove Unused Payment Options — If you have old cards saved, delete the ones you don’t use so billing surprises are less likely.
If you use multiple Amazon accounts, do this check while signed into each one. It’s common to cancel the “wrong” account and still see a renewal on the one that’s actually billed.
Common Problems And Fixes When Canceling
If you can’t find the right button, it’s usually one of a few repeat issues: you’re in the wrong account, you’re trying to end the wrong plan, or you signed up through a third party.
The End Button Is Missing
- Switch Accounts — Sign out, then sign in with the email that appears on the billing receipt.
- Switch Regions — Prime Video accounts can be region-locked, so check you’re on the right country site.
- Check For Third-Party Billing — If your sign-up was through Apple, Google, or a provider, cancel there.
You Ended Prime, Yet A Channel Still Billed
Prime membership and channels are separate line items. A channel can renew on its own schedule, even after Prime ends, if it wasn’t canceled inside the subscriptions screen.
- Open Your Subscriptions — Go back to Prime Video Account & Settings, then Your subscriptions.
- Cancel Each Channel — Unsubscribe one by one, then confirm each shows an end date.
You Want A Refund After Canceling
Refund rules differ by plan type, region, and how you paid. Some plans run until the end of the billing period, while store-billed subscriptions may have their own refund tools.
- Check The Billing Source — If Apple or Google billed you, start with that store’s refund flow.
- Check Your Renewal Message — Look for wording that says access continues until a certain date, since that can explain why you still have playback.
- Use Your Account Help Options — If Amazon billed you, the subscription pages inside your account usually include contact options tied to your plan.
Quick Two-Minute Cancel Checklist
This mini checklist is the final pass that stops most repeat charges.
- Match The Charge To The Plan — Prime, Video-only, channel add-on, or ad-free upgrade.
- Cancel In The Right Place — Amazon Prime page, Prime Video Account & Settings, or an app store.
- Capture The Confirmation Screen — Save a screenshot that shows canceled status and the end date.
- Recheck After The Renewal Window — Look again on the usual renewal day to confirm there’s no new charge.
- Trim Extra Subscriptions — Repeat the same steps for each channel you no longer use.
If you follow the checklist and still see a renewal, double-check the account email and the country site you’re signed into first. Those two mismatches cause more “I canceled” headaches than anything else.
