Cancel YouTube TV from Your Account Settings

You cancel YouTube TV through your Google Account settings, not through the YouTube TV app itself. Sign in to your Google Account on any web browser, go to your subscriptions page, find YouTube TV in the list, and select Cancel membership. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date, then your subscription stops.

If you signed up through a third-party platform like the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or Amazon Prime Video Channels, you must cancel through that platform instead. Cancelling in your Google Account settings will not work if you subscribed that way. Check your receipt or billing history to see which platform charged you.

Key Takeaways

  • YouTube TV subscriptions cancel through your Google Account settings on a web browser, and you keep access until the end of your current billing period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video Channels, you must cancel through that platform, not through Google Account settings.
  • Your cancellation takes effect on your next billing date, so you will not be charged again after you cancel.
  • You can reactivate your subscription at any time by signing back in and selecting the option to resume membership.

Step-by-Step Cancellation Through Google Account

Open a web browser and go to myaccount.google.com. Sign in with the Google Account you use for YouTube TV. On the left side of the page, click Subscriptions and services. You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to that account.

Find YouTube TV in the list and click on it. A panel will open showing your current plan, billing date, and payment method. Click the button that says Cancel membership. Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with cancellation if you want to leave.

After you confirm, you will see a message saying your membership will end on a specific date. That date is your final day of access. You will not be charged after that date, and your subscription will be fully cancelled.

Cancelling a Subscription Through Third-Party Platforms

If you subscribed through Apple App Store, open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your profile icon in the top right, select Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and tap Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your account name in the bottom left, select Account Settings, go to Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and click Edit to cancel.

If you subscribed through Google Play Store on an Android phone, open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and tap Cancel subscription. If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, sign in to your Amazon account on a web browser, go to Your Account, select Prime Video, then Manage Your Prime Video Channels, find YouTube TV, and click Cancel Channel.

What Happens After You Cancel

Your YouTube TV account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. If your billing date is the 15th of the month and you cancel on the 5th, you can still watch YouTube TV until the 15th. After that date, you lose access to all YouTube TV channels and features.

Your YouTube account itself does not disappear — you can still use Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, and other Google services. Only your YouTube TV membership ends. If you want to reactivate YouTube TV later, you can sign back in and choose to resume your membership at any time.

Cancelling Before Your Free Trial Ends

If you are still in a free trial period, cancelling works the same way: go to your subscriptions page and select Cancel membership. Your access will end on the last day of your trial, and you will not be charged. You do not have to wait until the trial is almost over to cancel — you can cancel when ready and still keep access through the end of the trial period.

YouTube TV does not charge you until the trial ends, so cancelling early does not save you money on this subscription. However, cancelling before the trial ends prevents an unexpected charge on your next billing date.

Troubleshooting Cancellation Problems

If you cannot find YouTube TV on your subscriptions page, you may be signed into the wrong Google Account. Check your email to see which account received the YouTube TV billing emails, then sign out and sign back in with that account. If you subscribed through a third-party platform, YouTube TV will not appear in your Google Account subscriptions — you must cancel through the platform where you signed up.

If the Cancel membership button does not appear or you get an error message, try using a different web browser or clearing your browser's cache and cookies. If the problem continues, you can contact YouTube TV support through your account settings by clicking Help & feedback at the bottom of your subscriptions page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose access when ready after cancelling?

No. You keep full access to YouTube TV until the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th and your billing date is the 25th, you can watch until the 25th. After that date, your account stops working.

Can I cancel and reactivate my subscription later?

Yes. You can reactivate your YouTube TV membership at any time by signing into your Google Account, going to your subscriptions page, and selecting the option to resume. You will be charged starting on the date you reactivate.

What if I subscribed through my phone but want to cancel on my computer?

If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you must cancel through the same app or platform. You cannot cancel a third-party subscription through your Google Account settings. If you subscribed directly through YouTube TV on a web browser, you can cancel from any device.

Will cancelling YouTube TV affect my other Google services?

No. Cancelling YouTube TV only removes your TV subscription. Your Gmail, YouTube channel, Google Drive, and all other Google services remain active and unchanged.

How do I know which platform I subscribed through?

Check your most recent billing email — it will show which company charged you (Google, Apple, Amazon, or another platform). You can also check your payment method's statement to see who made the charge.
