Can I unsubscribe from Hulu anytime?

Yep. You can cancel your Hulu subscription whenever you want without any penalty. You'll still have access to watch everything until the end of your current billing cycle.

Can I get a refund from Hulu if I forgot to cancel?

Nope. Hulu is very clear in its policy that it does not provide refunds for subscriptions, even if you forgot to cancel. It's annoying, but once they charge you for the month, that money is gone.

How do I know my Hulu subscription is cancelled?

You should receive a confirmation email from Hulu right after you cancel. You can also log back into your Account page, where it should state that your subscription is set to expire on a specific date.

How long does it take for Hulu to cancel?

The cancellation itself is instant, but your access continues until your paid-for period ends. So, if your billing date is the 15th and you cancel on the 5th, you can still watch Hulu for 10 more days.

What else should I know before I cancel my Hulu subscription?

Remember to check if you're billed through a third party like Roku, Spotify, or your cable company. If so, you have to cancel through them, not Hulu. Also, consider pausing your account for a few weeks instead of canceling outright.

How do I raise a complaint to Hulu?

Your best bet is to use the 'Contact Us' section of the Hulu Help Center. From there, you can start a live chat or find their support phone number to file a complaint directly with a representative.

How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription (2025)

How to Cancel Hulu on iPhone (iOS)

If you signed up for Hulu through the App Store using your Apple ID, you can't cancel on the Hulu website. You have to cancel it directly through your iPhone or iPad settings.

1 Open the Settings App

Find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all Apple-billed subscriptions are managed.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and media settings.

3 Select Subscriptions

On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions billed through Apple.

4 Find and Cancel Hulu

Scroll through the list to find Hulu. Tap on it, then select the Cancel Subscription button at the bottom. You'll have to confirm your choice. Weirdly, the button can sometimes be hard to spot.

How to Cancel Hulu on Android

Just like with iPhones, if your Hulu subscription is billed through the Google Play Store, you must cancel it there. The Hulu app itself won't have the cancellation option.

1 Open the Google Play Store

Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Make sure you're signed into the correct Google account that you used to subscribe.

2 Access Your Subscriptions

Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner. From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions.

3 Go to the Subscriptions Menu

In the next screen, tap on Subscriptions. This will show you all the services you're paying for through Google Play.

4 Locate and Cancel Hulu

Find Hulu in the list of your active subscriptions and tap on it. Follow the prompts to Cancel subscription. Google will ask for a reason, but you can select any option to proceed.

How to Cancel Hulu on Desktop or Laptop

This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up straight from the Hulu website. It's often the easiest method, as it avoids any third-party billing confusion.

1 Log In to Your Hulu Account

Open a web browser and go to Hulu.com. Log in to your account using your email and password.

2 Navigate to Your Account Page

Hover over your profile name in the top-right corner of the screen and click on Account from the dropdown menu.

3 Find the Cancel Option

Scroll down to the Your Subscription section. Here, you'll see a link to Cancel. Honestly, they make it smaller than the 'Pause' option, so look carefully.

4 Follow the Cancellation Prompts

Hulu will likely offer you a deal or prompt you to pause your subscription instead of canceling. If you're sure you want to cancel, continue clicking through the cancellation steps until you receive a confirmation message on the screen.

Cancel Hulu by Phone or Live Chat

If you're stuck in a loop online, sometimes talking to a person is the only way out.

Phone Support: You can call Hulu's customer support at (888) 265-6650. Be prepared with your account information and expect some hold time.
Live Chat: Visit the Hulu Help Center online and look for the chat option. You'll likely start with a chatbot, but you can request to speak with a live agent if the bot isn't helpful. The chat support took forever to respond when we tested it.

Before You Cancel: What You Should Know

No Refunds for Partial Months: Hulu does not offer refunds if you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle. You'll retain access to the service until the end of the period you've already paid for.
You Can Pause Your Subscription: Hulu offers the option to pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks. This is a good choice if you just need a temporary break and don't want to lose your watch history.
Your Profile is Saved: If you cancel, Hulu typically saves your viewing history and profiles for a while. This makes it easy to pick up where you left off if you decide to resubscribe later.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your Hulu Subscription?

It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:

Third-Party Billing: This is the biggest headache. If you don't see a cancel option on Hulu's site, you're likely billed through a third party like Apple, Google Play, Roku, Spotify, or your mobile provider. You must cancel through that specific service.
Use a Desktop Browser: The mobile app and mobile website sometimes hide or remove the cancellation options. Always try canceling from a desktop or laptop computer for the best results.
Clear Your Cache or Use Incognito Mode: Sometimes, browser issues can prevent the page from loading correctly. Try clearing your cache or opening an incognito window to log in and cancel.
Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, it's time to contact customer support. It's not ideal, but a support agent can manually cancel the subscription for you.
