Common Questions
Can I get a refund if I cancel early? No, there are no Peacock refunds if you cancel before the end of your billing cycle. You continue to have Premium access until it expires.
Can I delete my Peacock account completely? You can delete your profile and payment information by selecting “Delete Account” at the bottom of Account Settings. But this just removes your personal data, not the actual account. Your account would revert to Peacock Free. To completely delete, contact Peacock customer support.
What if I subscribed through my cable provider? Check your cable account management site or app to cancel Peacock and stop the charges. You may lose other bundle discounts if Peacock was included.
What if I’m having issues playing content? Contact @PeacockTVCare on Twitter or Peacock customer service to troubleshoot problems. Restarting devices, reinstalling the app, and clearing app cache/data can also help resolve issues.
