How to unsubscribe from YouTube TV

To cancel YouTube TV, sign into your Google Account on any device, go to your account settings, find the YouTube TV membership section, and select the option to cancel. The process takes about two minutes. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle—you won't lose service when ready, and you won't be charged again.

YouTube TV does not charge an early termination fee, so you can cancel at any point in your subscription without penalty. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until the last day of that billing period.

Key Takeaways

  • You cancel through your Google Account settings, not through the YouTube TV app itself.
  • Your service continues until the end of your current billing cycle, even after you cancel.
  • YouTube TV does not charge cancellation fees or require you to give advance notice.
  • If you cancel and later want to rejoin, you can reactivate your membership at any time.
  • Pausing your membership for up to three months is an option if you want to keep your account without paying.

Cancel through your Google Account on a computer

Open a web browser and go to myaccount.google.com. Sign in with the Google Account connected to your YouTube TV subscription. Click the Services & subscriptions tab on the left side of the screen.

Find YouTube TV in the list and click on it. Select Manage subscription, then click Cancel membership. Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay—you can ignore this and proceed. Click Yes, cancel membership to finish.

Cancel through the YouTube TV app on your phone or tablet

Open the YouTube TV app and tap your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Settings, then tap Membership. Choose Manage membership and then Cancel membership.

On iPhone or iPad, you may be directed to the App Store instead. If that happens, open the App Store app, tap your profile icon, go to Subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and select Cancel Subscription. Android users will see the cancellation option directly in the YouTube TV app.

What happens after you cancel

Your YouTube TV account remains active until 11:59 p.m. on the last day of your billing cycle. You can watch all channels and use all features normally during this time. After that date, you lose access to live TV and on-demand content, though your account and any saved data (like your library or watch history) stays in your Google Account.

You will not receive a refund for the unused portion of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your billing cycle ends on the 30th, you keep access for those 15 remaining days but receive no money back.

Pause your membership instead of canceling

If you want to keep your YouTube TV account but do not want to pay right now, you can pause your membership for up to three months. Go to myaccount.google.com, select Services & subscriptions, click YouTube TV, choose Manage subscription, and select Pause membership.

While paused, you will not be charged, but your account, settings, and library remain saved. After three months, your membership automatically resumes and you will be charged again unless you cancel before the pause ends. You can extend the pause or cancel at any time during the three-month period.

Reactivate your membership after canceling

If you change your mind after canceling, you can restart your YouTube TV subscription at any time. Sign into your Google Account, go to myaccount.google.com, select Services & subscriptions, find YouTube TV, and choose Rejoin. Your billing will resume on the date you reactivate.

Your previous settings, library, and watch history will be waiting for you when you rejoin. You will not lose any saved data by canceling, so there is no risk in canceling and coming back later if your situation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. YouTube TV does not issue refunds for unused days in your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th and your billing date is the 30th, you keep access for those 20 remaining days but will not receive a refund for them.

Can I cancel without calling customer service?

Yes. You can cancel entirely through your Google Account online or through the YouTube TV app. You do not need to contact YouTube TV support or speak to anyone on the phone.

What is the difference between pausing and canceling?

Pausing stops your charges for up to three months while keeping your account active. Canceling ends your membership when ready (at the end of your billing cycle) and you will not be charged again. You can pause and then resume automatically, but canceling requires you to manually rejoin if you want to come back.

Do I lose my library and watch history when I cancel?

No. Your library, watch history, and all account settings stay saved in your Google Account after you cancel. If you rejoin YouTube TV later, everything will be there waiting for you.

Can I cancel if I am on a promotional rate or free trial?

Yes. You can cancel at any time, even during a free trial or promotional period. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will not be charged for any future cycles.
