Cancel through your Twitch account settings on any device

To cancel a Twitch subscription, log into your account, go to your profile menu, and select Creator Dashboard or Settings depending on whether you're on desktop or mobile. From there, find Subscriptions or Paid Memberships in the left sidebar. You'll see a list of any active subscriptions you're paying for. Next to each one, there's a Manage or Cancel button. Click it, then confirm the cancellation. The subscription stops at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then it ends.

If you subscribed through a third-party payment method (Apple, Google Play, or Amazon), you may need to cancel through that platform instead. Twitch will tell you which one processed your payment when you look at your subscription details. Cancelling through Twitch's site won't work if the payment came from outside Twitch. This is an important step to check before you start the cancellation process, because using the wrong method means your subscription will keep charging you.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into Twitch, go to Settings or Creator Dashboard, find Subscriptions, and click Cancel next to the subscription you want to stop.
  • Your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately — you keep access until then.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, you must cancel through that app or account instead of through Twitch.
  • You can resubscribe to the same channel at any time after cancellation without penalty or waiting period.

Where to find your subscription list on desktop

On a computer, click your profile icon in the top right corner of Twitch. A dropdown menu appears. Select Settings. On the left side, you'll see several tabs — click Subscriptions. This page shows every channel you're currently subscribed to, the tier level (Tier 1, 2, or 3), how much you pay per month, and when your next billing date is.

Next to each subscription, you'll see a Manage button. Click it to see options including Cancel Subscription. Select that option, and Twitch will ask you to confirm. Once you confirm, the cancellation is scheduled for the end of your current billing period. You'll receive an email confirmation with the exact date your subscription ends and your access to subscriber benefits stops.

Where to find your subscription list on mobile

On the Twitch app for iPhone or Android, tap your profile icon at the bottom right. Tap Settings (the gear icon). Scroll down and tap Subscriptions. You'll see the same list as on desktop — all active subscriptions with their tier and billing date.

Tap Manage next to the subscription you want to cancel. Then tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. The process is the same as desktop, and your access continues through the end of your billing cycle. If the mobile app doesn't show a clear cancel option, you can also log into Twitch through a mobile web browser and use the desktop steps instead.

Cancelling subscriptions paid through Apple, Google, or Amazon

If you subscribed using an Apple ID, Google Play account, or Amazon account, Twitch cannot cancel it for you. You must cancel through the platform that charged you. Twitch's subscription page will tell you which one — it will say "Managed by Apple," "Managed by Google Play," or "Managed by Amazon" next to that subscription.

To cancel an Apple subscription, go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find the Twitch subscription, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play, open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Twitch, and tap Cancel subscription. For Amazon, go to amazon.com/gp/digital/subscriptions, find the Twitch subscription, and select Cancel subscription. Each platform processes the cancellation independently, so Twitch won't see it until your next billing date passes.

What happens after you cancel

Your subscription does not end immediately. You keep all subscriber benefits — emotes, ad-free viewing, channel points, and any perks the channel offers — until your billing cycle ends. Twitch will send you an email confirming the cancellation and telling you the exact date your access stops. This gives you time to plan if you were relying on any subscriber perks.

After that date, you lose subscriber status. You can still watch the channel for free with ads, but you won't have subscriber perks. You can resubscribe at any time by going to the channel and clicking the Subscribe button again. There's no waiting period or penalty for resubscribing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Twitch does not issue refunds for partial months. Your subscription runs through the end of your billing cycle, and you keep access the entire time. If you want to cancel, do it as soon as possible so you don't pay for another full month.

Can I pause a subscription instead of cancelling it?

Twitch does not have a pause feature. You can only cancel or let it renew. If you think you might resubscribe later, cancelling is fine — you can subscribe again whenever you want without any restrictions.

What if I don't see a Cancel button?

Make sure you're logged into the account that holds the subscription. If you're on mobile, try the desktop site instead — sometimes the app has display issues. If you subscribed through Apple, Google, or Amazon, you must cancel through that platform, not Twitch.

Do I lose my channel points when I cancel?

Channel points stay in your account. You keep any points you earned, but you stop earning the bonus points that subscribers get. You can spend your existing points anytime.

Can I cancel one subscription but keep others?

Yes. You can cancel individual subscriptions without affecting others. Go to your Subscriptions page, find the one you want to stop, and cancel only that one. Your other active subscriptions will continue normally.
