How to cancel Hulu

There are two possible routes, and using the wrong one is why people cancel Hulu and still get charged. Check which applies to you first.

First: work out who is billing you

This is the step people skip. Hulu can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by Hulu directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.

To check: open Settingsyour nameSubscriptions on your iPhone. If Hulu appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.

Route A — billed by Apple

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap your name at the very top.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Tap the subscription, then Cancel Subscription.

Route B — billed by Hulu directly

  1. Log in at secure.hulu.com/account.
  2. Under Your Subscription, click Cancel.
  3. Hulu will offer a pause — choose Continue to Cancel if you want out.

Worth knowing: Hulu lets you pause for up to 12 weeks, which is genuinely useful and easy to miss because the cancel flow pushes it hard. Add-ons like Max or Live TV are cancelled separately from the base plan.

What happens after you cancel

Access runs to the end of the paid month. Hulu keeps your profiles and watch history, and pausing keeps everything intact.

Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.

Before you cancel: is downgrading better?

Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use Hulu occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
