Cancelling TV and Movie Channel Subscriptions on Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime Video offers a vast array of movies and TV shows, accessible with just your Prime subscription. Additionally, it allows subscribing to various channels, often starting with a free trial. However, after the trial, charges apply unless you cancel the subscription. Here’s a streamlined guide to cancellation:
- Log In: Access your Prime Video account on Amazon.
- Navigate to Subscriptions: Select “Your Account” and then “Membership and Subscriptions”.
- Find the Channel: Under “Prime Video Channels”, you’ll see all your channel subscriptions. Locate the one you want to cancel.
- Cancel Subscription: Next to the chosen channel, click on “Cancel Channel”.
Remember, you might need to re-login to your Amazon account to proceed. You’ll also get options like setting reminders before subscription renewal, turning off auto-renew, or canceling immediately with a refund option.

Where to Manage Your Subscriptions on Amazon
Everything, including the subscriptions and memberships you’ve paid for, can be found on the Memberships & Subscriptions page. Here, you can also manage all of them. If you don’t know where to find it, here are the steps to follow:
- Go to Amazon.com and log into your account.
- Move the cursor over the Account & Lists option. You will easily be able to see it in the page’s top-right corner. Hovering your mouse over this option will then result in a drop-down menu popping up.
- Look in the Your Account list, then choose Memberships & Subscriptions.
You will now be able to manage your Amazon subscriptions easily.
But if you do not have access to a computer and want to use the mobile application instead, you can still find the Memberships & Subscriptions page. Here are the steps you will go through:
- On your mobile phone, open the Amazon application.
- Tap on the User icon.
- Choose Your Account.
- Next, pick Memberships & Subscriptions under the Account Settings section.
The mobile application will reveal the same type of information you see on your computer’s web browser, so cancellations will be a piece of cake.
Alternative Ways to Cancel TV and Movie Channel Subscriptions
You’ll be happy to know that the cancellation method presented above is not the only one you can use. There is an alternative way to cancel your movie channel subscriptions.
Here is what you have to do:
- Once again, go to the Memberships & Subscriptions page.
- From the right side of the channel you wish to terminate, click the “Video Settings” button.
- Now, pick the Channels tab from under the Account & Settings category. There, you will be able to see a list of the channels you’ve subscribed to.
- Next to the channel you want to stop paying for, click on “Cancel Channel”.
How Do You Cancel an Amazon Prime Membership?
If you no longer want to use an Amazon Prime membership, you can also cancel it. This will also automatically cancel the Prime Video Channel subscriptions you’ve made so far. If this is the option you want to go for, here is what you have to do:
- Go to Amazon and log into Amazon Prime.
- Access “Your Account”.
- Next, go to “Your Membership”.
- Select “Edit with Amazon”.
- In the end, click on “End Membership”.
What Happens After You Cancel a Premium Channel?
Even when you cancel a premium channel, you will be allowed to keep using it until the subscription expires. So, if you’ve canceled and the renewal will no longer be done automatically, you will be able to use the subscription until the deadline is reached. This will not terminate your Prime Video membership, though. A refund will also not be granted.

Final Thoughts
While some people are looking up how to cancel Amazon Music, others are searching for ways to cancel other Amazon services, like their Amazon Prime Video subscriptions or their Prime Video account. With Amazon Prime Video, you can cancel your channel subscriptions through various methods, so it shouldn’t be difficult.
Canceling one channel is the best option when you do not want to watch that particular channel anymore. But if you no longer want to use Prime Video, you can cancel the account altogether.
