How to cancel Sling 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
Sling TV has no contract and is billed monthly in advance. Cancel in your account on sling.com — deleting the app doesn’t cancel the subscription.
Monthly, no contract
Access lasts until your next bill date; no refunds for partial or prepaid months.
Through a third party
Pause isn’t available for subscriptions billed through Apple Pay, Google Pay or other third parties.
Deleting the app isn’t canceling
Sling says you still need to sign in and cancel your subscription.
Three steps
- Sign in to your account on sling.com.
- Select Manage.
- Select Cancel.
Sling sends an email confirming the cancellation.
What happens after you cancel
Your access continues until the date of your next regular bill, and you won’t be charged again. Sling doesn’t refund prepaid or partial months.
- Your recordings become unavailable, but Sling saves them for 90 days in case you resubscribe.
- You can still watch 600+ free channels on Sling Freestream.
- To come back, sign in, select Restart and resubscribe.
Pause instead of canceling
Sign in, select Manage, then See pause options:
- a standard pause lasts up to 6 months and keeps your DVR recordings;
- Pause Extra lasts 1, 2 or 3 months for a small monthly deposit you get back when the subscription restarts — you can keep watching your recordings and Paramount+ with Showtime content.
A pause starts on your next bill date, and the subscription restarts automatically when it ends. Pause isn’t available with promotions such as prepaid bundles, gift card or BitPay payments, or third-party billing.
