Looking for advice on how to cancel Hulu? We won't try to stop you (though Hulu will). Whether you want to cancel because Hulu's next month of new shows and movies looks meh, you're annoyed by the growing subscription costs, or recent headlines have you reconsidering your monthly streaming budget, we've got seven easy steps to getting rid of Hulu.
There's also a bit of good news. Even if you cancel your Hulu account today, you won't necessarily lose access to it. And yes, that includes the pricier plans like Hulu with Live TV, one of the best cable TV alternatives.
I just followed these steps to cancel my own Hulu account, but I'll still have it for the remainder of my billing cycle. That way, I get to watch a little more of "Only Murders in the Building," "Futurama," and the rest of the new shows and movies in Hulu's September lineup.
Hulu may be on the cheaper side at $9.99 per month for its ad-supported tier, but those monthly charges stack up fast. Therefore, many people may never even think to look up how to cancel Hulu, because they're thinking it's cheap enough.
But if you know you're not getting that much value from your subscription, it's time to cut the cord and move along. Because if you keep forgetting, you'll wind up spending $120 on a year of Hulu without realizing it, when you could have spent a third or less of that, while still getting a decent amount of hours out of that same account.
How to cancel Hulu in 7 easy steps
We've just double-checked these steps, and they still work!
1. Sign into Hulu.com in a web browser and log in or hover over the profile icon in the top right corner.
2. Select Account in the panel that opens.
3. You may be asked to enter your password and log in.
4. Scroll down the page (the option is some way down) and select Cancel Your Subscription.
5. Hulu will try to prevent you from canceling. Select Continue To Cancel.
6. Now Hulu is getting desperate and wants to know why you're canceling. If you want to give Hulu a reason why, select an option (it doesn't matter which); otherwise, click Continue To Cancel.
7. OK, you're almost out. You may get an offer to stay, such as one free month of Hulu, as I did.
Ignore this and just select Cancel Subscription. Otherwise, you could wind up getting billed again.
Congratulations, you've successfully canceled your Hulu account!
