How to cancel YouTube TV
You cancel YouTube TV in a web browser, or in the YouTube TV app on Android, signed in to your account. Select your profile photo, go to Settings, then Membership, select Manage, then Cancel membership and Cancel.
Google's YouTube TV help page gives the same steps for a computer, a phone's web browser and the Android app. You can also pause your membership for a few weeks or months instead of canceling.
Cancel on a computer or in a web browser
These are the steps from Google's help page, checked November 10, 2026:
- Open YouTube TV in a web browser.
- Select your profile photo.
- Go to Settings, then Membership.
- Select Manage.
- Select Cancel membership, then Cancel.
If you added extra networks to your plan and only want to drop those, the help page says you can remove add-ons one at a time instead of canceling everything.
Cancel on Android
On an Android phone or tablet, you can use the same steps in the YouTube TV app. Open the app, tap your profile picture, go to Settings, then Membership, tap Manage, then Cancel membership and Cancel.
Cancel on iPhone or iPad
On an iPhone or iPad, the help page's steps use a computer or your phone's web browser, not the app. Open YouTube TV in Safari or another mobile browser, then follow the same five steps as on a computer.
What happens after you cancel
Your YouTube TV access doesn't end the moment you cancel. According to Google's help page:
- You keep access until the end of your current payment period or free trial.
- After that, your add-on networks end too. You can't add networks without a membership.
- Recordings in your library expire after 21 days. Your library preferences are saved if you rejoin.
- If you sign up again later, you may not get promotional prices, or access to your earlier recordings.
- Google may keep limited information, such as your home ZIP code, for billing and fraud prevention.
Can you pause YouTube TV instead?
Yes. YouTube TV lets you pause for anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months. Go to Settings, then Membership, choose the number of weeks with the slider, then select Pause. The pause starts when your current billing cycle ends.
While you're paused, you can't watch and nothing new records. Your existing recordings are kept until the pause ends, but they still expire after 9 months. When the pause ends, you're charged your regular monthly price, and that day becomes your new billing date. You can't extend a pause, but you can resume early and pause again.
Pausing makes sense if you only watch for a sports season. If you're done with live TV, cancel.

Common questions
What happens if I cancel during the free trial?
Canceling during a YouTube TV free trial doesn't cut you off straight away. Google's help page says you keep access until the trial period ends. If you want your access to end immediately instead, the help page says to contact YouTube TV support.
What happens to my recordings when I cancel?
Recordings in your YouTube TV library expire 21 days after your membership ends. Your library preferences are saved if you rejoin, but Google's help page says you may not get access to previous recordings if you restart. Watch anything you want to keep before those 21 days run out.
Can I cancel YouTube TV in the iPhone app?
Google's help page gives iPhone and iPad users steps for a computer or mobile web browser to cancel. Open YouTube TV in your browser, select your profile photo, go to Settings, then Membership, select Manage, then Cancel membership and Cancel.
