May vary by provider

YouTube TV is often bundled with other Google services or included in TV provider packages. If you signed up through a cable company or wireless carrier, you won't see a cancel option in your YouTube TV settings — you'll need to cancel through the original provider instead.

YouTube TV-specific things to know

YouTube TV subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or signup method. These tips cover common edge cases.

Add-ons cancel automatically
Premium channels like HBO Max or Showtime will automatically cancel when you end your YouTube TV base subscription.
DVR recordings are saved for a while
Your cloud DVR recordings remain accessible for about 9 months after cancellation, but you can't add new recordings.
Family sharing ends immediately
All family members lose access when the primary account holder cancels, even if there's time left in the billing period.

Before cancelling YouTube TV

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

If you signed up through your cable company or wireless carrier, you'll need to cancel through them instead of YouTube TV directly.

2. Access continues until period ends

You'll keep YouTube TV access until your current billing period expires, whether you cancel on day 1 or day 29 of your cycle.

3. Note upcoming price changes

YouTube TV occasionally raises prices mid-cycle. Check your account for any pending rate increases that might affect your decision timing.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or temporary non-use, you might be able to pause or share your subscription instead.

Pause your YouTube TV subscription

YouTube TV allows you to pause your membership for up to 6 months. This stops billing while preserving your settings, DVR recordings, and family sharing setup.

Share Your Plan

YouTube TV includes family sharing for up to 6 people at no extra cost. If cost is the issue, consider splitting the monthly fee with family or friends.

Check for Bundles

YouTube TV is sometimes bundled with other Google services or included in wireless carrier plans, which can reduce the effective cost.

  • Verizon Unlimited plans

  • Google One Premium bundles

  • T-Mobile promotional packages

Alternative ways to cancel YouTube TV

If you can't cancel through your YouTube TV account, your subscription might be billed through one of these providers instead.
