How to cancel Hulu on your account

To cancel Hulu, log into your account on Hulu.com, go to your Account settings, select Subscription, and click Cancel Subscription. Hulu will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to stay — you can accept or decline. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you subscribed through a third party like Apple, Amazon, or Spotify, you must cancel through that service instead, not through Hulu directly.

The cancellation takes effect on your next billing date. If you were charged today, you keep access until 30 days from now (or whatever your billing cycle is). Hulu does not refund partial months. If you cancel mid-cycle, you lose access the moment your current period ends — there is no prorated refund for unused days.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel directly on Hulu.com through Account > Subscription > Cancel Subscription if you signed up with Hulu.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Spotify, or another third party, cancel through that service's app or website instead.
  • Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle; cancellation does not cut you off immediately.
  • Hulu does not refund unused portions of your subscription after cancellation.
  • Hulu may offer a discount code to keep you subscribed — you can decline and proceed with cancellation.

Canceling a subscription you bought through a third party

If you subscribed to Hulu through Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, or another bundled service, you cannot cancel through Hulu's website. You must cancel through the service you paid. Hulu has no record of your payment and cannot process the cancellation on their end.

For Apple subscriptions, open the Apple TV app or go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and tap Hulu, then tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video, go to Your Account > Prime Video Settings > Manage Your Prime Video Subscription and select Cancel. For Spotify, log in on Spotify.com, go to Account > Subscriptions, find Hulu, and click Manage. Each service has its own cancellation flow, so the exact steps vary.

What happens to your account after you cancel

After cancellation, your account remains in the system for 10 months. If you want to restart your subscription during that window, you can log back in and resubscribe without losing your watchlist, viewing history, or profile settings. After 10 months of inactivity, Hulu deletes the account and its data.

Your saved shows, movies, and profiles stay with your account during the 10-month grace period. If you resubscribe after that window closes, you start fresh with a new account and no saved data. Hulu does not send a reminder before the 10-month mark, so if you think you might return, note the date you canceled.

Canceling a bundle that includes Hulu

If you have a bundle — such as Disney Bundle (Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu) or Spotify Premium with Hulu — canceling Hulu alone may not be straightforward. Some bundles let you remove Hulu and keep the other services; others require you to cancel the entire bundle.

Log into your account and check your Subscription page. If you see an option to remove Hulu from the bundle, you can do that without canceling Disney+ or ESPN+. If the bundle does not allow removal, you must cancel the whole bundle and then resubscribe to the services you want to keep separately. This usually costs more than the bundle price, so compare the cost before you proceed.

If you cannot find the cancel button

If you log into Hulu.com and do not see a Cancel Subscription option, check whether your account is on a promotional rate or a free trial. Some promotional subscriptions have different cancellation rules or require you to wait until the promo period ends. Free trials must be canceled before the trial ends or you will be charged.

If you still cannot locate the cancel option, contact Hulu Support through the Help Center on Hulu.com. You can start a chat or submit a request. Hulu's support team can cancel your subscription manually, though this usually takes longer than self-service cancellation. Have your account email and billing information ready when you contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Hulu does not refund unused days or partial months. Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle, and then it stops. If you were just charged, you have access for the full month even if you cancel today.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Hulu does not offer a pause feature. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and resubscribe later. Your account data stays available for 10 months after cancellation.

What if I subscribed through my phone app?

The cancellation process is the same whether you subscribed on the app or the website — log into Hulu.com on a browser and go to Account > Subscription > Cancel. You cannot cancel through the mobile app itself. If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms instead.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

After you confirm cancellation on the Subscription page, Hulu displays a message saying your subscription will end on a specific date. Check your email — Hulu sends a confirmation email to the address on your account. If you do not receive an email within a few hours, log back in and verify the cancellation status on your Subscription page.
