How to Cancel Your YouTube TV Subscription (2026)

YouTube TV operates on a "no refunds" basis for partial months. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. So, if you cancel on the 2nd and your cycle ends on the 30th, you still have TV for 28 days. They do not pro-rate. Period.

Also, be aware that if you are on a free trial, cancelling usually ends access immediately (unlike a paid sub). It is a weird distinction, but that is how they get you to accidentally pay for the first month. Complaints on the Better Business Bureau often mention users forgetting this trial rule and getting hit with a $72.99 charge instantly.

Before you pull the plug, check these details:

• DVR Recordings: Your library is saved for 21 days after cancellation. If you come back within that window, your stuff is there. After that? Gone forever.
• Add-ons: Cancelling the base plan usually cancels add-ons (like HBO or 4K Plus), but double-check. Sometimes those stick around as separate line items.
• Price Lock: If you have a legacy price (rare these days), you lose it the second you cancel. If you resubscribe, you pay the current 2025 rate.

If the steps above didn't work, you are likely in one of these scenarios:

• Billed by a Carrier: If you signed up through Verizon, T-Mobile, or Frontier, the cancel button won't be on YouTube TV. You must log into your carrier's account portal to cancel.
• Billed by Apple: If you have an old subscription from years ago, check your Apple ID Subscriptions in iOS Settings.
• The "Pause" Trap: Did you accidentally hit pause? A paused membership automatically resumes charging after 8 weeks (or whatever duration you set). Make sure the status says Cancelled, not Paused.

With streaming prices hitting all-time highs in 2025, cutting YouTube TV is a smart financial move. But Google makes you click through multiple "retention" screens just to leave. Pine AI handles this for you.
