To cancel your Hulu subscription, you must go to your Hulu account page on the web, log in, and click the Cancel button. You will keep access to Hulu until the end of your current billing period, so there is no need to rush to use up your remaining time.
What happens when you cancel your Hulu subscription
When you cancel, you lose access to Hulu shows and movies after your last paid billing cycle ends. If you have already paid for the month, you continue to have full access, including ad-free, ad-supported, and Live TV plans, until that period finishes.
How to cancel your Hulu subscription billed through Hulu
If you are billed directly by Hulu, the only official cancellation method is through the Hulu account website. The mobile app does not provide a cancellation option for direct-billed subscribers. For iOS Hulu app users, you cannot cancel or change your subscription directly in the app due to Apple App Store rules and must use a web browser instead.
- Go to www.hulu.com/account and log in.
- Click the Cancel button.
- Follow any confirmation prompts to complete the cancellation.
How to cancel Hulu billed through Roku
Hulu subscriptions billed through Roku are an exception: you cannot cancel them from Roku’s subscription management flow. You can only cancel through the Hulu webpage (as described earlier), not by contacting Hulu support by phone.
How to cancel Hulu billed through Xfinity
If you pay for Hulu through Xfinity, use your X1 TV Box, Xumo Stream Box, or Flex streaming TV Box to cancel. From an Xfinity TV Box, go to Settings > Apps & Subscription, select Hulu, and choose Unsubscribe.
- Open Settings on your TV box.
- Go to Apps & Subscriptions (on a Xumo Stream Box, select My Subscriptions from the home screen).
- Find Hulu and press the down arrow to select Unsubscribe, then press OK.
- Choose Unsubscribe again to confirm.
You can also say “Manage Hulu” into the Xfinity Voice Remote to start the process.
Alternatives to canceling your Hulu subscription
Instead of canceling, you can pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks. This option is available in the Your Subscription section of your Hulu account page. Note that pausing is not available to annual subscribers or those billed through a third party, excluding Amazon and Roku users.
Another alternative is to switch to a different plan or remove add-ons. You can change your plan settings in the Your Subscription section of the Hulu account page. Plan and add-on options may differ for subscribers billed through third-party services like Amazon, Disney+, or Spotify.
If you have T-Mobile streaming benefits, check whether your Hulu subscription is covered by that plan before canceling, as you may be able to adjust your account without losing access entirely.
For Verizon-billed Hulu (bundled with Disney+ and ESPN+), log into My Verizon, go to Add-ons and apps, select Disney+, choose Manage add-on, and click Cancel my subscription. All three services will be forfeited.
To cancel Hulu billed through Amazon Pay, go to pay.amazon.com, sign in, click Amazon Pay > Merchant Agreements, find Hulu, and select Cancel Agreement.
To cancel Hulu billed through Spotify, log into the Spotify web page, go to Account Overview > Your Services, find Hulu, and deactivate it.
For Sprint-billed Hulu, you can only cancel through the Hulu webpage, similar to Roku users.
