Hulu, launched way back in 2007, is the go-to for next-day TV shows and a solid library of movies and originals. Maybe you signed up just to see what all the fuss was about with 'The Bear' and now you're done. It happens. With plans ranging from $7.99 to over $76.99, you can save up to $923 a year by canceling an unused subscription. This guide covers canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android so you can stop the charges before the next bill hits.
How to Cancel Hulu Subscription on Desktop
This is the most common way to cancel, but be ready for them to try and convince you to stay. It's a bit of a process. Make sure you get to the final confirmation screen.
1 Log In to Your Hulu Account
Open your web browser and head over to Hulu.com. Make sure you're logged into the correct account, especially if you have multiple profiles.
2 Navigate to Your Account Page
Click on your name or profile icon in the top-right corner of the page. A dropdown menu will appear. Select Account from this menu.
3 Find the Cancel Option
Scroll down to the 'Your Subscription' section. This is where they hide the important stuff. You should see a link that says Cancel. They might push the 'Pause Subscription' option pretty hard here, so look carefully for the cancel link.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
Hulu will probably ask you why you're leaving and might offer you a special deal to stay. Just ignore it if you're set on leaving. You have to click through a few screens before it's final. Keep clicking until you see a confirmation message. I had to click 'Continue to Cancel' twice before it actually worked.
How to Cancel Hulu Subscription on iOS
If you signed up for Hulu through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple. You can't cancel it on the Hulu website. It's a different system.
1 Open Settings
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. It's the gray gear icon.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the Settings screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel Hulu
Find Hulu in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice, and you're done. So much easier than their website.
How to Cancel Hulu Subscription on Android
Just like with Apple, if you subscribed via Google Play, you must cancel it here. The Hulu app or website won't let you do it.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions, and then tap on Subscriptions.
4 Select and Cancel Hulu
You'll see a list of your subscriptions. Find Hulu, tap on it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow any final prompts to confirm.
Cancel Hulu Subscription with phone
You can call Hulu support at (888) 265-6650. They are generally available 24/7, but expect some wait times. Be prepared with your account information. A user on Reddit mentioned, 'I had to call twice. The first rep just kept trying to offer me a free month.' So be firm.
Cancel Hulu Subscription with live chat
Hulu pushes users towards its chat support. Go to the Hulu Help Center, click 'Contact Us' at the bottom, and you'll likely interact with a chatbot first. You can request to speak to a live agent. Honestly, getting a real person can take a few minutes of navigating the bot's questions.
Hulu does not offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel, you can keep watching until your current billing period ends. Your viewing history and profiles will usually still be there if you decide to come back later. One good thing, they do let you pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks, which can be a decent alternative if you just need a break.
