How to Cancel NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV

Cancel NFL Sunday Ticket directly through YouTube TV settings

To cancel NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV, open the YouTube TV app or website, go to your account settings, find the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on under "Memberships and subscriptions," and select the option to cancel. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you will not lose access mid-month if you cancel before the next charge date.

The exact location of this setting depends on whether you are using the YouTube TV app on a phone, tablet, smart TV, or web browser, but the path is the same: Settings > Memberships and subscriptions > NFL Sunday Ticket > Manage or Cancel. YouTube TV will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to keep the subscription—you can accept or decline.

If you subscribed to NFL Sunday Ticket through a third-party platform like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Video Channels instead of directly through YouTube TV, you will need to cancel through that platform instead. Check your receipt or billing statement to see which service charged you.

Find the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on in your account settings

Open YouTube TV on the device you use most often—phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV. Tap or click the profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Settings." Scroll down until you see "Memberships and subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions." This section lists all add-ons you are paying for beyond your base YouTube TV membership.

Look for "NFL Sunday Ticket" in the list. If you do not see it, you may not have an active subscription, or it may be listed under a different name depending on your YouTube TV plan. Some users see it labeled as "NFL Sunday Ticket+" if they have the premium tier that includes RedZone.

If you cannot find the setting on your device, try a different one. The web version at tv.youtube.com often has the clearest layout. Go to your profile picture in the top right, select "Settings," then look for "Memberships and subscriptions" on the left side menu.

Select the option to manage or cancel your subscription

Once you locate NFL Sunday Ticket in your memberships list, tap or click on it. You will see options to manage your subscription. Look for a button that says "Manage," "Cancel subscription," or "Remove." The exact wording varies by device and app version, but the function is the same.

Click or tap that button. YouTube TV will show you details about your current billing cycle—the date you were last charged and the date of your next charge. This is important information: if you cancel before the next charge date, you will keep access to NFL Sunday Ticket until that date, then lose it when the subscription ends.

Some versions of the YouTube TV app show a "View details" or "Subscription details" option first. If you see that, open it to find the cancel button. Do not worry about accidentally canceling—YouTube TV always asks you to confirm before the cancellation goes through.

Confirm your cancellation and understand the timing

After you select the cancel option, YouTube TV displays a confirmation screen. Read it carefully to see your final access date. This is the last day you can watch NFL Sunday Ticket games. The screen will also show you the date you were last charged, so you can verify you are canceling the right subscription.

YouTube TV may offer you a discount or a free trial extension at this point. You can accept the offer if you change your mind, or decline it and proceed with the cancellation. If you decline and confirm, the cancellation is final for that billing cycle, though you can always resubscribe later.

After you confirm, YouTube TV sends a confirmation email to the address on your account. Check your email (including spam folders) to verify the cancellation went through. Keep this email as proof in case you are charged again by mistake.

What to do if you subscribed through a third-party platform

If you signed up for NFL Sunday Ticket through Apple TV Channels, Amazon Prime Video Channels, or another third-party service, canceling it through YouTube TV settings will not work. You must cancel through the platform where you subscribed.

To find out which platform is charging you, check your most recent receipt or billing statement. If you subscribed through Apple, look for a charge from "Apple" on your credit card statement or in the Apple ID billing section. If you subscribed through Amazon, the charge will show as "Amazon.com" or "Prime Video." Each platform has its own cancellation process, but all of them let you cancel in your account settings under subscriptions or memberships.

If you are unsure which platform you used, contact YouTube TV support with your billing information. They can tell you where the subscription is active and point you to the right cancellation page.

Avoid common mistakes when canceling

The most common mistake is canceling your entire YouTube TV membership instead of just the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on. These are two separate subscriptions. If you want to keep YouTube TV but drop just the football games, make sure you are clicking on NFL Sunday Ticket specifically, not the main YouTube TV subscription. The settings page clearly separates them, but it is straightforward to tap the wrong one if you are moving quickly.

Another mistake is canceling too early in the season and forgetting to resubscribe before games start again. If you cancel in September, you will lose access when ready and have to pay to turn it back on if you want to watch later in the season. Check the NFL schedule before you cancel to make sure you are not dropping the subscription during games you want to watch.

Do not assume that canceling through YouTube TV will cancel a subscription you started through Apple or Amazon. These are separate systems. If you subscribed through a third-party platform and then canceled only through YouTube TV, you may still be charged by the other platform. Always cancel where you subscribed.

Resubscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket later if you change your mind

If you cancel NFL Sunday Ticket and later decide you want it back, you can resubscribe at any time through the same YouTube TV settings page. Go to Settings > Memberships and subscriptions, and you will see an option to add NFL Sunday Ticket back. YouTube TV may offer you a promotional rate if you are returning as a previous subscriber.

Resubscription is when ready—you will regain access to games as soon as your payment goes through. If you resubscribe mid-month, you will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of that month, then the full price on your regular billing date.

Keep in mind that NFL Sunday Ticket is only available during the NFL season, which runs from September through early January. If you try to resubscribe outside the season, YouTube TV may not offer it or may hold your subscription until the next season begins.
