Cancel Hulu through your account settings

To cancel Hulu, log into your account on Hulu.com or open the Hulu app, go to your Account settings, and select the option to manage your subscription. From there, you'll see a button to cancel. Hulu will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may show you a retention offer — a discount or free trial to keep you subscribed. You can accept the offer or proceed with canceling. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready.

If you subscribed through a third-party service like Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku, you cannot cancel through Hulu's website. Instead, you must cancel through the platform where you signed up. The steps differ for each one, but all of them let you manage subscriptions in your account settings.

Key Takeaways

  • Canceling through Hulu.com or the app takes about two minutes and ends your subscription at the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Roku, you must cancel through that platform's app or website, not through Hulu.
  • Hulu may offer you a discount or free trial to stay subscribed after you request cancellation — you can take it or decline and cancel anyway.
  • After cancellation, you lose access to all Hulu content at the end of your billing cycle, but you can resubscribe at any time.

Cancel a Hulu subscription purchased through Apple

Open the Apple TV app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Go to Account, then Subscriptions, and find Hulu in the list. Tap or click Edit Subscription, then select Cancel Subscription. Apple will confirm the cancellation and show you the date your access ends — usually the end of your current billing cycle.

On an Apple TV device, go to Settings, then Users and Accounts, select your account, and choose Subscriptions. Find Hulu and select Cancel Subscription. The process is the same on all Apple devices: you're canceling through Apple's system, not Hulu's.

Cancel a Hulu subscription purchased through Amazon

Open the Amazon Prime Video app or go to primevideo.com on a web browser. Sign in and go to Your Account, then Memberships and Subscriptions. Find Hulu in the list and select Cancel Subscription. Amazon will ask you to confirm and will show you when your access ends.

If you subscribed to Hulu through Amazon Prime Video's channel add-on feature (rather than through Prime Video's main subscription), the cancellation works the same way — you manage it in the Memberships and Subscriptions section of your Prime Video account.

Cancel a Hulu subscription purchased through Google Play

Open Google Play on your Android phone or tablet. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then go to Payments and Subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Find Hulu and tap it, then select Cancel Subscription. Google will confirm the cancellation and tell you when your access ends.

On a computer, go to play.google.com, sign in, click your profile icon, and select Payments and Subscriptions. Click Subscriptions, find Hulu, and click Cancel Subscription. The confirmation and end date appear on the same screen.

Cancel a Hulu subscription purchased through Roku

On your Roku device, go to Home, then Subscriptions. Find Hulu in the list and select Manage Subscription, then Cancel Subscription. Roku will show you the date your access ends. You can also manage Roku subscriptions through the Roku mobile app or at roku.com by signing into your account, going to Subscriptions, and selecting Cancel next to Hulu.

Roku subscriptions are tied to your Roku account, not to the device itself, so canceling through any method (device, app, or website) affects your subscription across all Roku devices linked to that account.

What happens after you cancel

You keep access to Hulu until the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid monthly, you have until the same date next month. If you paid for a longer period upfront, you keep access until that period ends. Hulu will send you an email confirming the cancellation and reminding you of your final access date.

After your access ends, you cannot watch any Hulu content, including shows you were in the middle of watching. Your watch history and saved shows remain in your account if you resubscribe later. You can resubscribe to Hulu at any time through the same method you originally used — Hulu's website, an app, or a third-party platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel Hulu when ready instead of waiting until the end of my billing cycle?

No. Hulu cancellations always take effect at the end of your current billing period. You cannot get an when ready refund or end your subscription early, even if you cancel on the first day of a new billing cycle. Your access continues through the date you paid for.

Will Hulu refund me if I cancel in the middle of a billing cycle?

Hulu does not issue refunds for partial months. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your billing date is the 1st, you lose access to the remaining days without a refund. To avoid this, cancel close to your billing date so you use most of the period you paid for.

What if I forgot which platform I subscribed through?

Log into Hulu.com with your account. If you see a Cancel Subscription button in Account settings, you subscribed directly through Hulu. If you don't see that button, you subscribed through a third party. Check your email for receipts from Apple, Amazon, Google, or Roku to confirm which one.

Can I pause my Hulu subscription instead of canceling?

Hulu does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to stay subscribed or cancel. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later. There is no penalty for resubscribing, and your watch history will still be there.

Do I need to delete the Hulu app after I cancel?

No. The app will remain on your device, but you won't be able to sign in or watch content after your access ends. You can delete it if you want to free up space, but it's not necessary. If you resubscribe, you can sign back in to the same app.
