General Information
Hulu Notice Period & Conditions
Hulu operates on an auto-renewal basis, meaning that unless you cancel before your next billing date, you will be charged automatically.
- Monthly subscriptions: If you cancel, you will continue to have access until the end of the current billing cycle, but you will not receive a refund for unused time.
- Annual subscriptions: If you paid upfront for a full year, the cancellation will take effect at the end of your prepaid period.
- Free trials: If you are on a trial period and do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged the standard subscription fee.
- Third-party billing: If you subscribed through Apple, Amazon, Roku, or another third-party provider, you must cancel through that provider’s billing system.
Hulu does not provide prorated refunds upon cancellation. However, you can continue using the service until the current billing period ends.
What Information Does Hulu Need?
To cancel your Hulu subscription, you may be required to provide:
- Full Name associated with the Hulu account.
- Email Address linked to your Hulu subscription.
- Billing Information, including the last four digits of the payment method used.
- Subscription Type (Hulu Basic, Hulu (No Ads), Hulu + Live TV, or a bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+).
- Reason for Cancellation (optional but may be requested for feedback purposes).
What Happens After I Cancel My Hulu Subscription?
Once your cancellation is processed, you will retain access to Hulu until the end of your billing period. After that, you will no longer be able to stream content unless you reactivate your subscription. If you were receiving Hulu as part of a bundle (e.g., Disney+ and ESPN+), cancellation of Hulu may affect the bundle pricing.
If you cancel and later decide to reactivate, your previous subscription details may still be stored, but any promotional pricing or discounts you previously had may no longer apply.
Can I Also Contact Hulu Directly?
Yes, if you experience issues canceling your subscription online, you can contact Hulu customer support through the following options:
- Live Chat: Available on Hulu’s official website for real-time support.
- Phone Support: Call Hulu’s customer service line for assistance with cancellations.
- Email Support: Submit a request via the Hulu Help Center.
- Social Media Support: Hulu's official Twitter and Facebook pages may provide assistance with common queries.
If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, or Amazon, you must contact their support teams to process the cancellation.
Can I Revoke My Subscription Cancellation?
If you cancel your Hulu subscription but change your mind before the current billing period ends, you may be able to reactivate your subscription through your Hulu account settings. Simply log in, navigate to Manage Subscription, and select Resume Subscription if available.
If your subscription has already expired, you will need to sign up again, and any prior discounts or promotional offers may no longer be valid.
How Can I Check My Current Subscription?
To verify your Hulu subscription status:
- Log into your Hulu account via the website or app.
- Go to Account Settings under your profile.
- Check Subscription Details, including renewal dates and payment method.
- Review Billing History to confirm past payments and upcoming charges.
If your subscription is still active and you wish to cancel, make sure to do so before your next billing date to avoid automatic renewal.
