Can I Cancel Hulu at Any Time?

Hulu allows you to cancel your subscription at any time without any early cancellation fees or contracts locking you in. However, if you cancel, you still retain access until the end of the current billing cycle, so you are essentially paying for the full period no matter when you cancel. Also, if your subscription is billed through a third party, you may need to follow different cancellation steps with that provider, which can sometimes complicate the process. Be aware that Hulu may offer you the option to pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks instead of canceling outright, which can feel like a subtle way to delay cancellation.

Also, cancelling your subscription does not delete your Hulu account; you need to contact support if you want it removed entirely.
