How to Cancel Hulu

There are a lot of streaming services in this world, and people always look for the best ones with the best subscription offers. Hulu is one of them. This service allows people to stream TV and movies online and live.

The American streaming platform was launched back in 2007, and through it, people have the privilege of watching series from networks like NBC, CBS, and many others. But at some point, you may find it hard to find any content you enjoy on Hulu, so you decide to stop the subscription. That being said, how to cancel Hulu? This article has all the information you need.

How to Cancel Hulu on the Web

One way to cancel your Hulu subscription is on the Web. In fact, canceling your subscription through the website is the easiest method. You just need a device that allows you to access the official website.

1. Open your browser and go to Hulu.com.
2. From the top-right corner of your screen, select Log In.
3. Log into your account by entering your account information. Afterward, from the top right corner, select your name.
4. Click Account.
5. Scroll until you reach the bottom of the screen. From the Cancel Your Subscription section, click Cancel.
6. From the next page, click Continue to Cancel.

Bear in mind that Hulu doesn’t want you to leave the service, so they will do their best to keep you close by giving you some extra offers. But if you want to cancel it, you should select “No, Cancel Subscription” when you get any additional offer. This way, you will pull the plug on your membership.

As you can see, it can take a while to cancel your Hulu subscription on the web, because it is a pretty long process with a lot of options. You are asked to click on “Continue to Cancel” about three times, so you may end up spending even 15 minutes performing this process.

Final Thoughts

People decide to cancel their Hulu subscription for many reasons. They either don’t afford the streaming service subscription anymore, or they may simply not be interested in what the service has to offer. After all, everyone changes interests, and when a service doesn’t provide what you look for, there is no need to keep paying for it anymore.

As you can see, the cancellation process is not difficult, but there are multiple ways to do it depending on the device you are using and how you subscribed in the first place. If you take the right steps, you will be able to end your subscription without issues and stop paying for it on a monthly basis.

At some point, you can even renew your subscription and start enjoying the services again, which is great if you change your mind. If you don’t want to pay anymore, make sure to cancel the subscription before the billing date.
