To cancel a Prime Video subscription, open your Amazon account settings, go to Prime Video or Channels, and choose the option to end the membership.
Prime Video can show up on your card in a few different ways, which is why canceling it sometimes feels tougher than it should. You might pay for a standalone Prime Video plan, get it as part of Amazon Prime, or pay extra each month for Prime Video Channels or an ad free upgrade.
This guide walks you through every common way to cancel a Prime Video subscription, on desktop and mobile, and helps you check that billing really stops before the next renewal hits.
How Prime Video Subscriptions Work
Before you cancel, it helps to know exactly which type of Prime Video subscription you have. The steps on your screen depend on how the plan is billed and which extra add ons you picked.
Here are the main ways Prime Video can appear on your account or on your bank statement:
- Prime Video With Amazon Prime — Prime Video is one of the benefits that comes with an Amazon Prime membership.
- Standalone Prime Video Subscription — You pay just for Prime Video each month without full Amazon Prime.
- Prime Video Channels — Extra streaming channels, like sports or movie services, billed through Amazon as add ons.
- Ad Free Upgrade — An extra monthly fee that removes most ads from Prime Video.
- Third Party Billing — A Prime Video plan that shows up through Apple, Google Play, Roku, or a phone provider instead of Amazon directly.
If you are not sure which one you have, open your Amazon account in a browser and check the Memberships and Subscriptions page or the Prime Video Channels area. That page lists active plans, next renewal dates, and the payment method.
Common Prime Video Billing Setups
This table gives you a quick way to match what you see on your bill with the type of cancellation you will need.
| What You See | What It Usually Is | Where To Cancel |

| Amazon Prime charge each month or year | Amazon Prime with Prime Video included | Prime membership page in your Amazon account |
| Prime Video or Prime Video Ad Free line item | Standalone Prime Video or ad free add on | Prime and Subscriptions or Prime Video settings |
| Prime Video Channel name (such as a sports channel) | Prime Video Channel add on | Prime Video Channels or Memberships and Subscriptions |
How To Cancel Prime Video Subscription On The Amazon Website
The most reliable way to cancel a Prime Video subscription is through a browser on a computer or phone. These steps work for many regions, though wording can vary slightly between countries.
- Sign In To Amazon — Open a browser, go to Amazon, and log in with the account that is being charged.
- Open Your Account Page — Hover over or tap Account and Lists, then pick Your Account from the menu.
- Go To Memberships And Subscriptions — Open the section that lists Prime, Prime Video, and channel subscriptions.
- Find The Prime Video Entry — Look for Prime Video, Prime Video Ad Free, or the exact name that matches the line on your statement.
- Click Manage Subscription — Open the management page for that entry to see renewal and billing details.
- Choose End Or Cancel Membership — Use the option that turns off renewal. Read any on screen notes about how long access continues.
- Confirm The Cancellation — Follow prompts until you see a confirmation message and a new end date.
Once you finish these steps, you should see that the plan shows an end date instead of a next billing date. Take a screenshot or save the confirmation email so you have proof if charges keep appearing.
How To Cancel Prime Video In The Prime Video App
You can also start cancellation from the Prime Video app on a phone or tablet. In some cases the app will send you to a browser window to complete the process.
- Open The Prime Video App — Make sure you are signed in with the profile that matches the billed Amazon account.
- Open Settings Or My Account — Tap your profile icon or the menu icon, then look for a settings or account option.
- Tap Prime And Subscriptions — Open the area that lists your Prime Video subscription and any channels.
- Select The Subscription To Cancel — Tap the plan you want to stop, such as Prime Video or a specific channel.
- Choose Cancel Or Turn Off Auto Renew — Use the option provided to end the plan at the next renewal.
- Finish Any Browser Steps — If the app opens a browser page, complete the prompts there until you see confirmation.
On some devices, only channel subscriptions can be managed in the app, while the main Prime Video or Amazon Prime plan still needs to be canceled from the full Amazon website.
How To Cancel A Prime Video Channel Add On
Prime Video Channels are extra subscriptions stacked on top of your Prime Video access. Each channel renews on its own schedule, so you may need to cancel several entries if you signed up for more than one.
The steps below follow the process described in Amazon’s own help guide on canceling Prime Video add-on subscriptions.
- Open Manage Your Subscriptions — In a browser, sign in to Amazon and go to Memberships and Subscriptions or Prime Video Channels.
- Locate The Channel — Find the channel name that matches the line on your bill, such as a sports or movie service.
- Click Manage Channel — Open the management window for that specific channel subscription.
- Choose Cancel Channel — Select the button that ends the channel at the end of the active period.
- Review The End Date — Make sure the channel now shows an end date and that the price no longer appears under upcoming charges.
Canceling a single channel does not cancel your full Prime Video access. You will still be able to watch regular Prime Video titles as long as your main plan or Amazon Prime membership stays active.
How To Cancel Prime Video When You Pay Through A Third Party
If you signed up through a third party, such as an app store or a streaming device, Amazon may show the subscription as managed elsewhere. In that case you will see a note directing you to the original billing source.
Here is how cancellation usually works with the most common providers:
Apple App Store On iPhone Or iPad
- Open Device Settings — On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap Your Name — Open the Apple ID section at the top.
- Open Subscriptions — Tap Subscriptions to see active plans.
- Select Prime Video — Tap the Prime Video entry if it appears in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription — Confirm that you want to end the plan at the next renewal.
Google Play Store On Android
- Open Google Play — Use the Google Play Store app on your phone or tablet.
- Open Payments And Subscriptions — Tap your profile icon, then pick Payments and Subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions — Look for an entry for Prime Video or Amazon Prime Video.
- Select The Subscription — Open the plan you want to cancel.
- Tap Cancel Subscription — Follow the prompts until Google confirms the cancellation.
Roku Or Other Streaming Devices
- Open The Device’s Subscription Settings — Use the device menu to open subscriptions or services.
- Find Prime Video — Look for the Prime Video entry in the list.
- Use The Cancel Option — Select the option to end the plan at the next renewal date.
If the device menu does not show any Prime Video entry, that usually means billing runs through Amazon instead, so the earlier website steps will apply.
How To Cancel Prime Video That Comes With Amazon Prime
When your statement shows one Amazon Prime charge that includes both free shipping and Prime Video, your streaming access is tied to the overall Prime membership.
To stop paying for Prime Video in this case, you need to end the Amazon Prime membership itself. Amazon lists the exact steps on its Prime membership cancellation page, but this is the general outline:
- Open Your Prime Membership Page — In a browser, sign in and open the Prime section of your account.
- Review Benefits And Renewal — Check the current renewal date and any notes about refunds.
- Select End Membership — Choose the option to end Amazon Prime and follow all prompts.
- Confirm On The Final Screen — Keep going until you see a message that shows the exact date your membership will stop.
Ending Amazon Prime also removes other perks tied to that membership, such as faster shipping or music access, so be sure you are ready to cancel those perks along with Prime Video.
What Happens After You Cancel Prime Video
Once you cancel any type of Prime Video subscription, a few things change behind the scenes. Knowing what to expect can help you avoid confusion later on.
- Access Usually Continues Until The Period Ends — In most cases you keep watching until the end of the current billing cycle or free trial.
- Prorated Refunds Are Rare — Many subscriptions do not issue partial refunds for unused days in a paid month unless there was a billing mistake.
- Watch History Often Stays — Your viewing history can remain linked to the account even after you cancel, which helps if you rejoin later.
- Downloads Stop Working — Offline downloads linked to the subscription usually stop playing once access ends, even if the files are still on your device.
- Channels May Have Separate End Dates — If you had multiple channels, each one keeps its own end date based on when you canceled it.
If a charge shows up after the end date you saw during cancellation, compare the description on the statement with your list of subscriptions. Sometimes a channel or an ad free add on stays active after the main plan ended.
Tips To Avoid Surprise Prime Video Charges
A few quick checks can keep Prime Video from billing you again when you thought everything was already canceled.
- Check The Next Renewal Date — After you cancel, look again at the subscription page and confirm that it lists an end date instead of a renewal date.
- Watch For Confirmation Emails — Keep the email that confirms cancellation so you can refer to it if you need to dispute a later charge.
- Review Memberships Regularly — Every so often, open Memberships and Subscriptions in your Amazon account and scan for plans you no longer use.
- Be Careful With Email Links — Scam messages sometimes pretend to offer a fast way to cancel Prime by asking you to click a link. Type amazon.com into your browser instead of using links from unexpected messages.
- Use One Account Per Household Member — Shared accounts can lead to surprise sign ups. Keep track of who has permission to start free trials or add channels.
If you follow the steps that match your type of Prime Video subscription, cancellation should take only a few minutes and will stop new charges once the current billing period ends.
