Canceling Hulu is straightforward but varies depending on how you signed up. Here’s exactly how to cancel Hulu on any device — including what to watch out for if you subscribed through a third party.

⚠️ Important: How Did You Sign Up?

If you subscribed to Hulu directly at hulu.com, cancel through the Hulu website. If you subscribed through Apple, cancel through Apple. If you subscribed through Google Play, cancel through Google Play. Canceling in the wrong place won’t work — you’ll still be charged.

How to Cancel Hulu on a Computer (Direct Subscribers)

Go to Hulu.com and Log In

Open your browser and navigate to hulu.com. Sign in with your email and password if you’re not already logged in.

Click Your Profile Name → Account

In the top right corner, click on your profile name, then select “Account” from the dropdown menu.

Scroll to “Your Subscription” and Click “Cancel”

Scroll down to the “Your Subscription” section and click the “Cancel” link. Hulu may offer you a discounted plan or pause option at this step.

Select a Reason and Continue

Hulu will ask why you’re canceling. Select a reason and click “Continue.” They may offer you a discounted rate — click “No Thanks” if you want to proceed with cancellation.

Confirm Cancellation

Click “Cancel Subscription” to confirm. You’ll receive a confirmation email. Your Hulu access continues until the end of your billing cycle.

How to Cancel Hulu on iPhone or iPad

Open Settings → Tap Your Name → Subscriptions

Go to iPhone Settings, tap your Apple ID at the top, then tap “Subscriptions.”

Tap Hulu → Cancel Subscription

Find Hulu in your active subscriptions, tap it, then tap “Cancel Subscription” and confirm.

How to Cancel Hulu on Android

Open Google Play → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions

Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions.

Tap Hulu → Cancel Subscription

Find and tap Hulu, then tap “Cancel subscription” and follow the prompts to confirm.

💡 Consider Downgrading Instead of Canceling

If cost is the reason you’re canceling Hulu, consider switching to the Hulu with Ads plan at $7.99/month instead. You keep all the same content — just with ads. Go to Account → Your Subscription → Switch Plan to change plans without canceling.

Canceling Hulu + Live TV

Canceling Hulu + Live TV follows the same steps above. When you cancel Live TV, you’ll be given the option to keep the basic Hulu streaming plan — you can accept this if you want to keep on-demand content without live TV.

Note: If you have add-ons (HBO, Showtime, etc.), canceling Hulu also cancels those add-ons. Cancel them separately first if you want to keep only the base plan.

What Happens After You Cancel Hulu?

Access continues until the end of your billing period. Hulu does not offer refunds for partial months.

Downloads disappear once your subscription ends. Save anything you want to watch before the cancellation date.

Your account stays active but is locked. You can reactivate anytime by logging back in and resubscribing.

Free Alternatives to Hulu

If you’re canceling Hulu because of cost, there are great free alternatives that cover a lot of the same content territory.
