How to cancel Hulu + Live TV
The steps depend on WHERE you subscribed — directly, through your phone, internet or TV provider, or in an app store. Below are all the ways this service is sold and how to end each one.
Canceling
Hulu + Live TV has no contract and is billed monthly. Cancel on your Hulu Account page — or with Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku or another partner if they bill you. Hulu says canceling takes effect at the end of your billing period, with no refunds or credits for partial months.
Monthly, no contract
Access lasts to the end of the billing period; no partial-month refunds.
Billed by a partner
Cancel with the company that bills you.
Pause to keep recordings
Canceling deletes your Cloud DVR recordings; a pause of up to 12 weeks keeps them.
If Hulu bills you
- Open your Account page in a computer or mobile browser.
- Select Cancel under Your Subscription.
- You may be offered a pause — select Continue to Cancel if you don’t want it.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
Billed by Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku or another partner
Cancel with that company — Hulu can’t cancel those subscriptions for you.
What happens after you cancel
Canceling takes effect at the end of your billing period, and Hulu doesn’t give refunds or credits for partial months. Your Cloud DVR recordings are lost when the account is canceled — so watch anything you want to keep first.
Pause instead of canceling
On your Account page, under Your Subscription, select Pause and choose up to 12 weeks. Your recordings are kept during a pause, and the subscription restarts automatically when it ends. Pausing isn’t available for most third-party billing (Amazon and Roku are exceptions), for gift-card subscriptions or during a promotion.
Switching to Hulu without Live TV
You can switch from Hulu + Live TV to a Hulu plan without live channels; the switch takes effect at the next billing cycle.
