How to Cancel Roku Channel Premium Subscriptions in 2026

The Roku Channel itself is free — it's the premium add-on subscriptions (Showtime, Starz, AMC+, Paramount+, etc.) that cost money. You might have signed up during a free trial and forgotten. Here's how to find and cancel everything.

Find All Your Roku Subscriptions

Go to roku.com/account/subscriptions
Log in with your Roku account
You'll see every active subscription billed through Roku
This includes premium channels, free trial conversions, and any channel subscriptions

⚠️ Free Trial Trap

Roku aggressively promotes free trials for premium channels. Each one auto-converts to a paid subscription. Check your subscription page — you might be paying for channels you tried once and forgot about.

Cancel via Web (Recommended)

Go to roku.com/account/subscriptions
Find the subscription you want to cancel
Click Unsubscribe
Confirm cancellation
Repeat for each subscription you want to cancel

Cancel via Your Roku Device

On your Roku home screen, highlight the channel you want to cancel
Press the ★ (star) button on your remote
Select Manage subscription
Select Cancel subscription

Cancel via Roku Mobile App

Open the Roku app on your phone
Tap Account → Subscriptions
Find and cancel each subscription

The Roku Channel (Free) — What You Keep

Canceling premium add-ons doesn't remove The Roku Channel itself. The free tier includes:

Thousands of free movies and TV shows (ad-supported)
Free live TV channels (200+)
No subscription required — just a Roku account
Available on Roku devices, web, and mobile

Remove Your Payment Method

To prevent future accidental subscriptions:

Go to my.roku.com/account/paymentmethod
Remove your credit card or PayPal
Without a payment method, you can't accidentally subscribe to premium channels
You can always add one back when you intentionally want to subscribe

Set a PIN to Prevent Purchases

If you share your Roku with family:

Go to my.roku.com/account/pin
Set a 4-digit PIN
Check Require PIN to make purchases
This prevents kids or guests from subscribing to premium channels

🎯 Bottom Line

Go to roku.com/account/subscriptions to see everything you're paying for. Cancel each premium channel individually. The Roku Channel itself is free — you only pay for premium add-ons. Remove your payment method to prevent future accidental subscriptions.
