Are you ready to say goodbye to YouTube TV? Perhaps you've found a better deal, your viewing habits have changed, or you simply want to take a break. Whatever the reason, canceling your YouTube TV subscription is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free cancellation.
Understanding Your YouTube TV Subscription
Before we dive into the cancellation process, it's important to understand a few key things about your YouTube TV account:
- Billing Cycle: Your billing cycle likely runs on a monthly basis. Canceling before the end of your billing cycle will not result in a refund for that period. You'll have access to YouTube TV until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Account Details: Make sure you have your login credentials readily available. You'll need your email address and password associated with your YouTube TV account.
- Other Services: If you're canceling YouTube TV, ensure you understand how this impacts any other services bundled with your account.
How to Cancel YouTube TV on a Computer
This is the most common method and usually the easiest:
- Sign In: Open your web browser and go to the YouTube TV website. Log in using your Google account credentials.
- Access Settings: Click on your profile picture in the upper right-hand corner. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Membership: In the Settings menu, locate and select "Membership."
- Cancel Membership: You'll see an option to "Cancel Membership." Click this button.
- Confirmation: YouTube will likely ask you to confirm your cancellation. Carefully review any information provided and confirm your decision. You may be given an opportunity to provide feedback on why you're canceling – this is completely optional.
Important Note: After canceling, you'll still have access to YouTube TV until the end of your current billing cycle.
How to Cancel YouTube TV on a Mobile Device (Android & iOS)
The mobile app process is very similar:
- Open the App: Launch the YouTube TV app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Access Settings: Tap on your profile picture (usually located in the top right corner).
- Manage Settings: Select "Settings" or "Manage Membership" (the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your app version).
- Cancel Membership: Find the option to "Cancel Membership" or a similar phrase. Tap on it.
- Confirmation: Confirm your cancellation request, just as you would on a computer. You may be given the option to provide feedback.
Troubleshooting Cancellation Issues
Sometimes, things don't go exactly as planned. Here are a few common issues and potential solutions:
- Unable to Find the Cancellation Option: Ensure you're logged into the correct Google account associated with your YouTube TV subscription. If you still have trouble, contact YouTube TV support directly.
- Error Messages: If you encounter any error messages, try restarting your device or checking your internet connection. If the problem persists, contact YouTube TV support for assistance.
- Unexpected Charges: Review your billing statements carefully. If you encounter any unexpected charges after cancellation, contact YouTube TV customer support to resolve the issue.

If you experience any difficulties canceling your YouTube TV subscription or have any questions, contacting YouTube TV's customer support is the best course of action. You can usually find their contact information on their website's help or support section.
By following these steps, you can easily cancel your YouTube TV subscription and move on to your next entertainment choice. Remember to cancel before your next billing cycle to avoid further charges.
