How to Cancel Hulu Live

Being one of the most popular premium streaming services around, Hulu Live TV has a considerable on-demand library. However, if you don’t really want that many channels or the monthly subscription is too high, you may want to cancel the service.

In this article, we’ll show you how to cancel Hulu Live TV through the official website and third-party platforms.

How to Cancel Hulu Ad-Free

Hulu users can pick between two Live TV plans: Hulu + Live TV and Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV. Once you subscribe, you unlock over 65 linear channels available on-demand. There’s also the option to download your favorite movies and TV shows for offline viewing.

Live TV has both local and regional channels included in the streaming library. By entering your ZIP code, you can have a look at the offer for your particular area. There are also countless national news, sports, educational, and family-friendly channels to choose from at any time.

If you’re a Premium or Partner user, all your Add-ons (Showtime, HBO, ESPN+, Cinemax, STARZ) are available on Hulu Live TV. You can also consider the following custom Live TV Add-ons:

• Unlimited Screens for an additional $9.99 per month. This feature allows you to simultaneously stream your content on two separate screens.
• Enhanced Cloud DVR for an extra $9.99 per month. You get a whopping 200 hours of Cloud DVR storage.
• Español Networks for an additional $4.99 per month. With this Add-on, you can watch certain Live TV channels in Spanish.
• Entertainment Networks for an extra $7.99 per month. Get access to more lifestyle, entertainment, reality TV, cooking, and documentary shows.

There’s also a package deal available. You can get both Unlimited Screens and Enhanced Cloud DVR for just $14.98 per month.

Hulu No Ads means you don’t have to worry about commercial breaks when watching your favorite TV shows. Apart from that, all the extra features and Add-ons remain the same. However, some popular series (for example, Grey’s Anatomy) are not included in the library. It’s because ad breaks are integrated into the episodes.

You can get the Hulu (No Ads) plan for $11.99 per month. However, if you also want access to the 65+ linear channels, you have to get the No Ads + Live TV package. In that case, the monthly fee is $70.99, as opposed to $64.99 for just Hulu + Live TV.

In case none of this appeals to you, you can always choose to unsubscribe. Here’s how to cancel Hulu Ad-Free and Hulu Live TV by using the Hulu website:

1. Open your browser and go to hulu.com.
