The YouTube TV iOS app does not allow you to cancel your subscription. YouTube’s parent firm, Google, recommends using a mobile or desktop web browser and cancelling the subscription in the same way as described above.

  • To access YouTube TV on your mobile device, go to TV.youtube.com.
  • In the top right, you should see your profile photo.
  • Go to the “Membership” submenu under “Settings” and make a selection.
  • Choose “PAUSE” or “CANCEL” from the membership pull-down menu.
  • A “Cancel membership” option will show up in the menu.
  • There has to be a “CANCEL” option in the menu.

Things to Look Forward to

  • Even after cancelling, you’ll retain access to YouTube TV until the end of the current paying cycle.
  • After that period, you will be blocked from accessing any other networks. The supplemental channels need a subscription in order to see them.
  • After 21 days, your recorded shows will no longer be accessible in your library. The shows, sports teams, and events you’ve added to your personal library will be waiting for you when you re-register with YouTube.
  • You may not be able to watch your recorded shows or get a refund if you cancel and then renew your YouTube TV subscription at a later date.
  • For invoicing and fraud protection purposes, Google may keep certain private information (such your home zip code).

Conclusion

It may be necessary, notwithstanding the costs involved, to terminate service for a subscription that is no longer desired or required. YouTube TV subscribers who wish to pause their service for an interim period but still plan to use it over the next six months may do so by clicking the “Pause” button. Your saved recordings and individualized settings will be preserved.  The only thing you can do if you know you won’t be using YouTube TV again soon is to cancel your subscription.
