How to Cancel Hulu

Need to cancel your Hulu subscription? This guide will help you cancel your Hulu membership, whether you have the basic plan or Hulu + Live TV.

Note: After canceling, you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. Your watch history and preferences will be saved permanently, so you can reactivate anytime without losing your progress.

Step 1: Open Your Account

Log into your Hulu account at www.hulu.com. Click your profile icon in the top right of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select Manage My Account. This opens your account page.

You can also go directly to secure.hulu.com/account while signed in.

Step 2: Find Cancel Your Subscription

Scroll to the bottom of the account page until you see Cancel Your Subscription. Click the Cancel button.

Step 3: Confirm Cancellation

Follow the on-screen steps, then press Cancel Subscription again to confirm. You’ll receive a confirmation email. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Troubleshooting

  • Click your profile icon (top right) → Manage My Account
  • On the account page, scroll to the bottom and find Cancel Your Subscription → click Cancel
  • Then follow the steps and press Cancel Subscription again to confirm
  • You can also open secure.hulu.com/account; if you’re on a Disney Bundle, cancel through the bundle management page

If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, or another third party, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system, not through Hulu's website.

If you have Hulu + Live TV, canceling will cancel both the streaming service and Live TV access. You cannot cancel Live TV separately while keeping the base Hulu subscription.

Hulu may offer a pause option for some plans. Check your account settings for a "Pause Subscription" option. If not available, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your watch history.

  • Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
  • Confirm you completed the flow: profile iconManage My Account → scroll to Cancel Your SubscriptionCancelCancel Subscription again
