If you’ve seen everything you want to watch on Hulu, it might be time to cancel your subscription. Perhaps you want to sign up to a different streaming service in the meantime? Besides, you can always return to Hulu later.
If you do want to cancel your Hulu subscription, the process is easy. Once cancelled, you can still use Hulu until the end of your billing period, though free trials will end immediately. Here’s how to cancel Hulu across all devices and platforms.
How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription (Web)
One of the easiest ways to cancel Hulu is through the Hulu website. Here’s how:
- Go to Hulu.com.
- Select Log In in the top-right corner of the page.
- Log in to your account and select your name.
- Select Account from the drop-down menu.
- Under the Your Subscription menu, select Cancel.
- Select Continue to Cancel. Hulu tries hard to keep subscriptions active, so it provides additional offers to keep your account operative. It may offer to pause streaming temporarily without any charges.
- If you are sure about deleting your Hulu account, select Continue to Cancel to end the service.
How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription (iPhone/Android)
You can subscribe to Hulu on iPhone, but to cancel a subscription you will have to use the Hulu website. The Hulu app for iPhone guides you to the website to manage your Hulu account, where you can then follow the instructions above.
However, you can easily cancel your Hulu account on Android thanks to the Hulu app.
- Open the Hulu app and tap on Account in the top-right corner of the screen.
- You will be prompted to type your password. Enter your password.
- Scroll down to find the Cancel Your Subscription option. Tap Cancel.
- You may be required to select a reason why you want to cancel your account. Select the reason and choose Continue to Cancel.
- While canceling your Hulu subscription, Hulu will offer you an option to pause your account instead. You can set the length of time for which you wish to pause your services (from one to 12 weeks) or choose Continue to Cancel.
How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription (Third-Party Billing)
You may be enjoying Hulu through a third-party subscription service, as a package add-on. Providers of this include Amazon, Disney+, iTunes, Roku, and Spotify. The steps to cancel Hulu through these services vary.
Hulu offers a handy step-by-step guide for each of the third-party service providers to help cancel your account easily. Visit Hulu’s support page, select your billing provider, and cancel your subscription.
How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription (Cable)
Many cable companies also provide Hulu subscriptions as an add-on service. To cancel Hulu with these service providers, you should contact the service provider and request for your Hulu subscription to be cancelled.
How to Delete Your Hulu Account Permanently
If you want to delete your Hulu account permanently, rather than just cancel your subscription, follow these steps:
- Go to Hulu.com.
- Click on your name in the top-right corner and select Account.
- Select Update Info.
- Click on Delete My Account.
- You will be prompted to enter your password again. After entering the right password, select Yes, Delete My Account and your Hulu account will be deleted permanently.
How to Cancel Your Hulu Free Trial
If you’re on a free trial of Hulu, you can cancel the subscription before the trial period ends and avoid being charged.
- Go to Hulu.com and click your name in the top-right corner. Select Account from the main menu.
- Scroll to find Cancel Your Subscription and tap Cancel.
- You will have to bypass the Pause Subscription page; tap the Continue to Cancel option.
- Enter a reason you want to cancel your Hulu subscription and your trial will come to an end.
Move On From Hulu and Try Another Streaming Service
No matter how long you have enjoyed Hulu, you can cancel your subscription at any time and there’s no additional fee.
Now that you’ve parted ways with Hulu, perhaps it’s time to explore another streaming service? There are plenty of them out there, some of which let you watch movies and TV shows completely free.
