Cancel YouTube TV trial through your Google Account settings

To stop your YouTube TV trial before the paid subscription begins, sign into your Google Account on any device, go to myaccount.google.com, and select Payments & subscriptions from the left menu. Find YouTube TV in the list, click it, and select Cancel membership. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your trial access ends when ready, and you will not be charged when the trial period expires.

The cancellation takes effect right away. You lose access to YouTube TV as soon as you confirm, even if your trial had days remaining. If you want to keep watching until the last day of your trial, wait until the day before your trial ends to cancel.

If you signed up through a third-party platform like Apple, Amazon, or Samsung instead of directly through Google, you must cancel through that platform's billing system, not through Google Account settings. Cancelling in the wrong place will not stop the charge.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through your Google Account at myaccount.google.com under Payments & subscriptions, then select YouTube TV and click Cancel membership.
  • Cancellation takes effect when ready, so you lose access right away even if your trial has days left.
  • If you signed up through Apple, Amazon, or Samsung, you must cancel through that platform's app or website instead of Google Account settings.
  • You will not be charged if you cancel before your trial period ends.
  • Check your confirmation email after cancelling to verify the subscription has been removed.

Cancel through Apple, Amazon, or Samsung if you signed up there

If you started your YouTube TV trial through the Apple App Store, go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and tap Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your account icon in the top right, select Account Settings, go to Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and click Edit then Cancel.

For Amazon Prime Video Channels, sign into your Amazon account on any web browser, go to Your Account and select Prime Video Channel Memberships. Find YouTube TV in the list and click Cancel Channel. On the Amazon app, tap Your Stuff, select Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and choose Cancel Subscription.

If you signed up through a Samsung TV, open the Samsung TV app store on your television, go to My Apps, find YouTube TV, and select Unsubscribe or Cancel Subscription. You can also manage the subscription through your Samsung account online at account.samsung.com under Subscriptions.

What happens after you cancel your trial

Once you cancel, your YouTube TV account closes and you lose access to all channels, recordings, and your library. You cannot pause the subscription and resume it later at a discounted rate. If you want to use YouTube TV again in the future, you will need to sign up as a new member and may be offered another trial, depending on YouTube TV's current promotions.

Your Google Account itself remains active. Cancelling YouTube TV does not affect your Gmail, Google Drive, YouTube, or any other Google service. Only the YouTube TV subscription is removed.

How to find your trial end date before cancelling

Before you cancel, check when your trial actually ends so you do not cancel too early. Go to myaccount.google.com, select Payments & subscriptions, click YouTube TV, and look for the line that says Your membership ends on followed by a date. That date is when you would be charged if you do not cancel.

If you signed up through Apple, Amazon, or Samsung, the end date appears in that platform's subscription settings instead. On Apple, it shows in the Subscriptions section under the renewal date. On Amazon, it appears next to the YouTube TV channel. On Samsung, check your account settings online.

Troubleshooting if the cancel button does not appear

If you cannot find a cancel option in your Google Account settings, you may have signed up through a different method than you remember. Check your confirmation email from when you started the trial — it will say whether you signed up directly with Google, through Apple, Amazon, Samsung, or another platform. Then go to that platform's billing system to cancel.

If you signed up directly with Google but still cannot see the cancel button, try signing out completely and signing back in. Clear your browser cache if you are using a web browser. If the button still does not appear after that, the subscription may have already ended or been cancelled previously.

Contact YouTube TV support through support.google.com/youtubetv if you have cancelled but are still being charged, or if you cannot locate your subscription in any billing system. Have your confirmation email and the date you cancelled ready when you reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my YouTube TV data if I cancel the trial?

Yes. Cancelling your YouTube TV subscription deletes your account, including any saved shows, recordings, and your watch history within YouTube TV. Your regular YouTube account and watch history on YouTube.com remain unchanged. You cannot recover YouTube TV data after cancellation.

Can I cancel my trial and get a refund for the remaining days?

No. YouTube TV trials are free, so there is nothing to refund. If you were charged during your trial, contact YouTube TV support at support.google.com/youtubetv with your receipt to report the error.

What if I cancel but still get charged after the trial ends?

Check your cancellation confirmation email to confirm the subscription was removed. If you were charged after cancelling, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charge, then contact YouTube TV support at support.google.com/youtubetv with your receipt and cancellation confirmation.

Can I reactivate my YouTube TV subscription after cancelling?

Yes, you can sign up again at any time, but you will pay the regular subscription price. YouTube TV may offer you another trial if you are a new member or if a promotion is running, but this is not may provide.

Do I need to cancel if my trial is only a few days away from ending?

No. If your trial ends on its own before you are charged, you do not need to cancel. However, cancelling early ensures there is no chance of an accidental charge. If you want to keep watching until the last moment, wait until the day before your trial ends to cancel.
