Cancel Hulu through your account settings on any device

Log into your Hulu account on a computer, phone, or tablet, then go to your Account settings. Select "Subscription" or "Plan," find the option to cancel or manage your subscription, and follow the prompts to confirm. Hulu will ask why you're leaving — you can skip this or answer — and will show you the date your service ends. You'll keep access until that date, then lose it at midnight.

If you subscribed through Hulu's website directly, this method works immediately. If you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or The Disney Bundle, you may need to cancel through that platform instead, because Hulu cannot process the cancellation on its own.

Key Takeaways

  • Canceling through Hulu's website or app takes two minutes and ends your service on your next billing date.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or another third party, you must cancel through that platform, not through Hulu.
  • You keep full access to Hulu until your current billing period ends — canceling does not cut you off immediately.
  • Hulu does not charge a cancellation fee, and you can restart your subscription at any time without penalty.

Cancel through a third-party platform if that's where you signed up

Check your email for your original Hulu receipt or confirmation. It will show whether you subscribed directly through Hulu or through another service. If it came from Apple, Amazon, Google Play, Roku, or The Disney Bundle, you must cancel there.

Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac): Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Hulu, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Hulu, and choose Cancel Membership. Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Hulu, and tap Cancel Subscription. Roku: Go to Roku Home, select Subscriptions, find Hulu, and choose Cancel. The Disney Bundle: Log into your Disney account, go to Subscriptions, and cancel Hulu from there.

Canceling through the third-party platform stops the charge but does not always immediately notify Hulu. If you want to be certain, cancel through both the third-party platform and Hulu's website. This takes an extra minute and ensures no confusion if your billing date arrives.

What happens after you cancel

Your Hulu account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you're billed on the 15th and cancel on the 10th, you'll have access through the 14th. On the 15th at midnight, your account locks and you cannot watch anything. Hulu does not refund the unused portion of your current billing period.

If you cancel by mistake or change your mind, you can restart your subscription at any time. Restarting is treated as a new subscription — you won't owe anything for the time you were canceled, and you'll be charged on the day you restart.

Canceling a free trial or promotional offer

If you're in a free trial or on a promotional rate, cancel the same way: through Account settings on Hulu's website or app, or through the third-party platform where you signed up. Your free period or discounted rate ends on the date shown in your account, and you will not be charged if you cancel before that date ends.

Some promotions require you to cancel a certain number of days before the trial ends. Check your confirmation email or account settings for the exact deadline. If you miss it, you'll be charged the regular price for one month, but you can still cancel immediately after and keep access through the end of that paid month.

Troubleshooting a cancellation that won't go through

If the cancel button doesn't appear or the process stops partway through, try a different browser or device. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then log back in. If you're using the Hulu app, try the website instead, or vice versa.

If you subscribed through a third-party platform and the cancel option is missing there, contact that platform's support — Apple, Amazon, Google, or Roku — rather than Hulu. They control the subscription on their end and can cancel it. You can also contact Hulu support directly through the Help section of your account if the website method fails, though the third-party platform is usually faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Hulu does not refund unused time in your current billing period. You keep full access until the end of that period, then lose it at midnight on your next billing date. If you want to avoid being charged again, cancel before your next billing date arrives.

Can I cancel and restart without losing my watchlist or settings?

Yes. Your profile, watchlist, and viewing history stay attached to your account even after cancellation. When you restart, log back in with the same email and password, and everything will be there.

What if I subscribed through The Disney Bundle?

Log into your Disney account, go to Subscriptions, and cancel Hulu from there. You can cancel just Hulu while keeping Disney+ and ESPN+, or cancel the entire bundle. The choice is yours.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

Check your Account settings on Hulu — if the Subscription section no longer shows an active plan, the cancellation worked. You should also receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. If you don't see either, try canceling again or contact Hulu support.

Can I cancel Hulu if I'm still in a free trial?

Yes. Cancel the same way you would a paid subscription. Your trial ends on the date shown in your account, and you won't be charged as long as you cancel before that date passes.
