How to Cancel Hulu: Step by Step

After spending countless hours watching hits like Solar Opposites, Little Fires Everywhere, and The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, I’ve experienced firsthand why it ranks among the top streaming services. But like all good things, I find myself growing tired of it, particularly now that I’ve binged all the shows and movies I wanted to watch.

Rather than pay for multiple subscriptions, simply cancel your Hulu subscription. Getting rid of your subscription is pretty simple.

Here are the steps you need to follow to cancel Hulu.

However, if you got here by accident and want to know more about the service, check out our Hulu + Live TV review, or see some alternatives to Hulu further down the page.

Step by Step: How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription

If you’ve ever had to cancel a phone or cable subscription, you know what a pain it is to deal with customer service agents that try to talk you out of your decision.

The good news is that canceling Hulu can be done online unless you really want to talk to someone, in which case you can give them a call.

To cancel Hulu you may need to go through whichever system you used to originally subscribe to Hulu. This means if you signed up via Amazon, Apple, Roku, or the like, you’ll need to cancel through that same third party. You can check what service bills you on your Hulu Account page at hulu.com.

Once you cancel Hulu you will receive a confirmation email that your subscription is canceled.
