About Discovery+ Subscriptions

Discovery+ ($4.99/mo ad-supported, $8.99/mo ad-free) offers content from Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Animal Planet, and more. Cancel through your account settings. This guide covers every platform — Discovery+ Website, iPhone (App Store) — so you can cancel from whichever device you have handy.

Before You Cancel Discovery+

Before cancelling, check a few things: which platform you subscribed on (App Store, Google Play, or the website directly), since you must cancel in the same place you signed up. If you subscribed on the website, cancelling through your iPhone Settings won't work — and vice versa.

Also note your next billing date. Discovery+ doesn't delete your account when you cancel — you keep access until the period ends. There's no penalty for cancelling early, but you won't get a refund for unused days unless stated in the refund policy above.

Can I Resubscribe After Cancelling?

Yes — you can resubscribe to Discovery+ at any time. Your account data, preferences, and history are typically preserved for 30–90 days after cancellation, depending on the service. Simply log back in and choose a new plan.

What If I Can't Find the Cancel Button?

Some services intentionally bury the cancel option. Follow the exact steps above — if you still can't find it, check that you're logged into the correct account (some people have multiple accounts). You can also contact Discovery+ support directly and request cancellation via chat or email — they are legally required to process it.
