Canceling Hulu + Live TV vs standard Hulu
The cancellation process is the same for both Hulu (with or without ads) and Hulu + Live TV. The difference is what you lose: canceling Hulu + Live TV removes live channel access and any cloud DVR recordings in addition to on-demand content. Your DVR recordings are deleted when the subscription ends, so download or note anything you want to keep before canceling.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Hulu offer a refund when you cancel?
- No. Hulu does not issue prorated refunds. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.
- Will my Hulu watchlist be saved if I resubscribe?
- Yes - your watchlist and viewing history are saved to your account for up to two years after cancellation.
- Can I pause Hulu instead of canceling?
- Hulu offers a pause option for up to 12 weeks. Billing is paused but resumes automatically when the pause period ends. If you want to be done with Hulu, cancel rather than pause.
