Tips & Tricks for Canceling Sling TV
- Use incognito or private browsing mode to access the Sling TV account page, sometimes the cancel option is hidden in normal browser mode.
- Be persistent with customer support by calling the billing support number (888-361-7149) and expect long hold times; keep pressing for cancellation.
- Request explicit email confirmation of cancellation and keep it for records in case Sling tries to charge you again.
- Check your bank statements carefully for unexpected charges even after cancellation; be prepared to dispute with your bank if necessary.
- Do not rely on third-party cancellation services like Unsubi since they might not cancel your Sling account correctly, leading to continued charges.
- If the cancel button is missing online, escalate by emailing higher executives (e.g., seth@sling.com, liz.riemersma@sling.com, gary.schanman@sling.com) to get the issue resolved.
- Cancel near the end of your billing cycle to avoid prepaying for an unwanted month, but remember your subscription stays active until that cycle ends.
- Use clear, firm language when speaking with customer reps: "I want to cancel my subscription immediately and do not want to be charged further."
- Avoid reactivating your subscription by staying off the app or website after cancellation, since returning might reactivate service unintentionally.
- Consider using a virtual or temporary card number for subscriptions so you can easily cut off payment if unwanted charges persist.
- If cancellation looks difficult, consider pausing subscription as an alternative until you can cancel successfully.

Sling TV operates on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts, allowing you to cancel your subscription at any time without early cancellation fees or penalties. When you cancel, your current paid subscription continues until the end of your billing cycle, so you won’t be charged further, but you still get to enjoy the service for that period. Be aware that simply requesting cancellation via email may not count as an official cancellation, so it’s important to follow their specific cancellation process to avoid unexpected charges.
Before cancelling your Sling TV subscription, know that you will continue to have access to your subscription and its content until the end of your current billing cycle, but no refund is given for the month already paid. Once the subscription ends, you will lose access to all the channels and features associated with your plan. Also, after cancellation, a notification appears in your Sling Dashboard to confirm the cancellation, so make sure you see this to ensure the process is complete. If you downgrade instead of cancelling, a summary of lost features is provided before finalizing.
