Cancel Sling TV through your account settings or contact customer service

You can cancel Sling TV by logging into your account online and going to your subscription settings, or by calling Sling TV's customer service line. The online method takes about five minutes and requires no phone call. If you cancel before your next billing date, you'll keep access through the end of your current billing cycle — Sling TV does not prorate refunds for partial months.

Sling TV does not charge cancellation fees, so there's no penalty for leaving at any time. Your cancellation is immediate in the system, but your service access continues until your paid period ends. If you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video Channels, you'll need to cancel through that platform instead of directly through Sling TV.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Sling TV account online, go to Account Settings, select your subscription plan, and click Cancel Subscription to end service without a phone call.
  • You can also call Sling TV customer service at 1-888-745-5746 to cancel over the phone, though the online method is faster.
  • Your service continues through the end of your current billing period even after you cancel — you won't lose access mid-month.
  • If you subscribed through Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, or another platform, cancel through that service's app or website instead of contacting Sling TV directly.
  • Sling TV does not refund unused portions of your subscription, so timing your cancellation before your next billing date saves money.

Cancel online through your Sling TV account

Go to sling.com and sign in with your email and password. Click on your account icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings from the dropdown menu. Look for the Subscription section and find your current plan listed there.

Click on the plan name or the "Manage Subscription" button next to it. You'll see an option to Cancel Subscription — click it. Sling TV will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay. You can decline the offer and proceed with cancellation. Once confirmed, you'll receive an email confirmation with your cancellation date and the last day you can watch.

Cancel by phone with Sling TV customer service

Call Sling TV customer service at 1-888-745-5746. Have your account email address ready. A representative will verify your account and process the cancellation over the phone. The call typically takes 5 to 10 minutes, though wait times vary depending on call volume.

Customer service representatives may offer you a promotional rate or free trial period to keep your subscription active. You can accept or decline. Once you confirm cancellation, the representative will provide a confirmation number and tell you the exact date your service ends.

Cancel if you subscribed through a third-party platform

If you signed up for Sling TV through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Google Play, or another platform, you must cancel through that platform's app or website — not through Sling TV directly. Canceling through Sling TV's website won't work because your subscription is managed by the third party.

Apple TV Channels: Open the Apple TV app, go to Account, select Subscriptions, find Sling TV, and tap Cancel Subscription. Amazon Prime Video Channels: Go to Your Account, select Memberships and Subscriptions, find Sling TV, and click Cancel Channel. Google Play: Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, select Subscriptions, find Sling TV, and tap Cancel.

What happens after you cancel

Your Sling TV account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. You can continue watching all channels and features you had access to before cancellation. You'll receive reminder emails as your final service date approaches, typically a few days before.

After your service ends, you can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in and selecting a plan. Sling TV does not delete your account information, so your preferences and watchlist will still be there if you return. If you want to permanently delete your account and all associated data, contact customer service to request account deletion.

Timing your cancellation to avoid extra charges

Sling TV bills on a monthly cycle based on the date you originally signed up, not on the calendar month. If you signed up on the 15th of any month, your next billing date will be the 15th of the following month. Canceling after your billing date has passed means you've already paid for the next month and won't get that money back.

To avoid paying for an extra month, cancel a few days before your next billing date. Check your account settings to see exactly when you'll be charged next. If you cancel on the same day as your billing date, the charge may still go through — contact customer service if this happens and ask about a refund for the unviewed period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access to my shows immediately after canceling?

No. You'll keep full access to Sling TV through the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 10th and your next billing date is the 20th, you can watch until the 20th. After that date, your login won't work.

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

Sling TV does not refund unused portions of your subscription. Once you've been charged for a month, that money is not returned even if you cancel before the month ends. Plan your cancellation for just before your next billing date to avoid paying for a month you won't use.

What if I subscribed through a free trial?

Cancel before your free trial ends to avoid being charged. The cancellation process is the same — log into your account or call customer service. Check your confirmation email to see exactly when your trial period ends, and cancel at least a day before that date.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Sling TV does not offer a pause or freeze option. Your only choices are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you'll need to cancel and reactivate later when you're ready to watch again.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

You'll receive a confirmation email from Sling TV within a few minutes of canceling online, or immediately after hanging up if you canceled by phone. Check your email (including spam folders) for this confirmation. You can also log into your account and check your subscription status in Account Settings.
