Got a Discovery+ charge you didn’t expect? Use these simple steps to cancel now and ask about a refund without the back-and-forth.
Discovery+ is a streaming service that auto-renews each billing cycle until you turn it off. You can cancel on the web if billed directly, or inside your app store or provider account if you subscribed there. If your plan came through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, or a carrier like Verizon, you must cancel in that source.
