This is the step people skip. YouTube TV can be billed either by Apple (if you subscribed inside an iPhone or iPad app) or by YouTube TV directly (if you signed up on their website). Only the biller can cancel it.
To check: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. If YouTube TV appears there, Apple bills you — use route A. If it does not, use route B.
Go straight to the YouTube TV cancellation page →
Worth knowing: Only the family manager can cancel YouTube TV. YouTube offers to pause the membership for up to 6 months instead — useful if you only drop it outside sports season.
You keep watching until your next billing date. Recordings stay in your library for 21 days, so restarting within that time keeps them.
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.
Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use YouTube TV occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
