Sling TV, launched in 2015, promised to save us from cable, but now it is just another bill. With plans ranging from $40 to $55, cancelling saves you up to $660 annually. You can cancel on iOS, Android, or desktop at sling.com. Amidst viral TikTok debates about "streamflation," cutting costs is trending. TrustPilot data highlights a "bad" rating, while Pissed Consumer logs thousands of calls regarding "poor customer service" and "incorrect billing amount." Whether it is the constant buffering or recent price hikes driving you away, we help you cut the cord for good.
How to Cancel Sling TV on Desktop or Laptop
This is the most reliable method. Even if you watch on a TV, using a computer ensures the buttons actually load.
1 Log In to Your Account
Go to the Sling TV website and sign in. Do not use the app for this part because it usually just redirects you to a browser anyway. It is faster to start on Chrome or Safari.
2 Open Account Settings
Look for the gear icon or your profile name in the top right corner. Click it to open the Account dashboard. This page loads slowly sometimes, so give it a second.
3 Find the Cancel Link
Under the "Your Subscription" section, you will see a link that says Manage Account or directly Cancel Subscription. It is often small text, not a big button.
4 Confirm Cancellation
They will try to keep you. They might offer a discount or ask why you are leaving. Ignore the "Stay" offers and keep clicking Cancel Subscription until you see a final confirmation screen saying your subscription will not renew.
How to Cancel Sling TV on iPhone (iOS)
Use this method only if you pay for Sling through your Apple ID balance.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your iPhone home screen.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID banner at the very top of the menu.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see Sling TV listed here, you likely signed up directly through their website. In that case, use the Desktop guide above.
4 Cancel Sling TV
Tap the Sling TV icon and select Cancel Subscription. You might have to scroll down a bit to find the red text.
How to Cancel Sling TV on Android
This works if your billing goes through Google Play. If you used a credit card directly on the Sling site, this list will be empty.
1 Open Google Play Store
Launch the Play Store app on your phone or tablet.
2 Tap Profile Icon
Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
3 Navigate to Payments
Select Payments & subscriptions and then tap Subscriptions.
4 Cancel Subscription
Find Sling TV in the list. Tap it and select Cancel subscription. Follow the prompts to confirm.
Before You Cancel Sling TV: What You Should Know
No Refunds for Partial Months
Sling TV is strict about this. If your bill renewed yesterday and you cancel today, you are out $40. You will keep access until the billing cycle ends, but you won't get that cash back.
Your DVR Recordings Will Vanish
Once your subscription officially closes at the end of the cycle, your Cloud DVR library is wiped. If you have a specific movie or game recorded that you wanted to watch, do it before the final date.
Pause Instead of Cancel?
They allow you to pause your subscription for up to three months. This freezes the price and saves your DVR recordings. It might be a better option if you are just going on vacation.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Sling TV Subscription?
If the "Cancel" button is missing or the page keeps crashing, you are not alone. Here is what usually fixes it:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up via Roku, Amazon, or your internet provider (like Xfinity)? If so, you must cancel through their portal, not Sling's site.
- Disable Ad Blockers: Sometimes ad blockers hide the cancellation pop-ups. Turn them off and refresh the page.
- Use Incognito Mode: Cached data can cause the account page to loop. Open an Incognito/Private window and try logging in again.
- The "Update Payment" Trap: If your credit card expired, Sling sometimes locks you out of the cancel screen until you update payment info. It is ridiculous, but you might need to contact support directly to bypass this.
