Hulu cancellation guide

How to Cancel Hulu

How to end a Hulu subscription from your account page, and where to cancel when another company bills you.

Quick answer

  • If Hulu bills you, the subscription can be cancelled at any time from the Account page in a computer or mobile browser.
  • After cancelling you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle and are not charged again.
  • Hulu states that cancelling does not delete your Hulu account or the Disney account used for other Disney products.

Before you cancel

Where you cancel depends entirely on who charges you.

  • Check the Payment Information section of your Account page to confirm who bills you — Hulu presents this as the first step.
  • If Hulu is not the biller, Hulu states the steps may vary by company.
  • Pausing is an alternative: Hulu-billed subscribers may have the option to pause for up to 12 weeks.
  • Bundle plans follow separate guidance: if you signed up for a bundle through Disney+ or HBO Max, Hulu directs you to manage it there.

Step-by-step cancellation

These steps cover a Hulu-billed subscription. On-screen labels can change.

  1. Open the Account page in a browser

    Go to your Hulu Account page from a computer or mobile browser — Hulu specifies using a browser.

    View Hulu's official cancellation article (opens an external site)

  2. Select Cancel under Your Subscription

    In the subscription area, choose the cancel option.

  3. Continue past the pause offer

    You may be offered the option to pause. Choose Continue to Cancel if you are not interested.

  4. Confirm Cancel Subscription

    Select Cancel Subscription to complete the cancellation.

Also worth knowing

  • Once cancelled, the Account page shows the subscription will be cancelled and a confirmation email is sent — Hulu recommends keeping it for your records.
  • If you only want to drop add-ons or change plan, Hulu notes you can manage the subscription without cancelling.
  • Hulu provides a separate section for trouble cancelling.

When access ends and free trials

Paid subscription
You keep access to Hulu or your bundle plan until the end of the current billing cycle and are not charged going forward.
Free trial
Cancelling during the trial keeps access, and you are not charged once the trial ends.
Hulu + Live TV free trial
This is the exception. Hulu states that Hulu + Live TV free trials end immediately upon cancellation.

When a third party bills you

Hulu states that steps may vary when a third party bills you, and lists guidance per biller. The billing parties named in the official article are Amazon, Apple, Comcast Xfinity, Disney, Google, Kroger, HBO Max, Optimum, Roku, Spotify, T-Mobile, and Verizon.

  • Hulu says you can confirm your billing party in the Payment Information section of your Account page.
  • The applicable process can differ by region and payment method.

After you cancel

  • Check that the Account page shows the subscription will be cancelled.
  • Keep the confirmation email that was sent to the address on file.
  • The account itself remains after cancelling; deleting it follows a separate article.

Frequently asked questions

Does deleting the app cancel my subscription?

No. The documented cancellation happens on the Account page in a browser; removing the app is not part of that process.

Does cancelling delete my Hulu account?

No. Hulu states that cancelling does not delete your Hulu account or the Disney account you use for other Disney products.

If I cancel during a free trial, does access stop right away?

For a standard free trial you keep access and are not charged once it ends. Hulu + Live TV free trials are the exception and end immediately upon cancellation.

Can I pause instead of cancelling?

Hulu states that Hulu-billed subscribers may have the option to pause a subscription for up to 12 weeks.
