Should I cancel, pause, or downgrade my Hulu subscription?
If you cancel your Hulu subscription, you can access your account until the following billing cycle. When you’re traveling outside the US or want to explore other platforms, pause your Hulu subscription for up to 12 weeks. When this expires, your subscription reactivates automatically, and your credit card is charged your previous subscription rate.
Hulu has different plans and add-ons
with various fees. Instead of canceling, remove add-ons or switch plans.
How to cancel or pause your Hulu subscription
You can cancel your Hulu subscription on your desktop or mobile browser. Hulu does not have a cancellation option for Android and iOS mobile apps. If you are billed through a third-party platform like the Google Play Store or App Store, skip the next section.
1. Go to the Hulu website and sign in to your account.
2. Click your account picture in the upper-right corner of your screen.
3. Scroll down to the Your Subscription section.
4. Select Cancel next to your subscription.
5. You may be prompted to pause your subscription. Select No, cancel subscription to continue to cancel your subscription.
After canceling your subscription, you’ll receive a confirmation email confirming your cancellation. You can access Hulu only until your current billing cycle ends, and you aren’t charged for future cycles. You immediately lose access to the service if you cancel during the trial period.
If you get an error, read our guide on handling Hulu errors. If that doesn’t work, contact the Hulu help center.
