How to Cancel Your Apple TV Subscription
To cancel your Apple TV subscription, open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, tap Apple TV, then tap Cancel Subscription. You keep watching until the end of the period you already paid for.
Apple dropped the plus from the name, so the streaming service you used to know as Apple TV Plus now shows up simply as Apple TV in your subscription list. You can cancel it from the App Store, a web browser, or the Apple TV box too. Pick whichever device is in front of you.
Cancel on an iPhone or iPad
This is the quickest path for most people.
- Open the Settings app (the gray gear icon).
- Tap your name and photo at the very top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap Apple TV in the list.
- Scroll down and tap Cancel Subscription. Confirm if it asks.
If you do not see Cancel Subscription, the plan is already set to end and no action is needed.
Cancel in a web browser
No Apple device nearby? You can cancel from any computer.
- Go to tv.apple.com in your browser.
- Click the account icon in the top right corner and sign in.
- Click Settings, then scroll to Subscriptions and click Manage.
- Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
This is a lifesaver when the subscription is billed to an Apple Account you set up on a device you no longer own.
Cancel on an Apple TV box
If you subscribed right on the Apple TV device under your TV, cancel there.
- Open Settings on the Apple TV.
- Go to Users & Accounts, then pick your account.
- Choose Subscriptions, then select Apple TV.
- Choose Cancel Subscription.
Where each device sends you
Here is a quick map so you know the right menu on the thing in your hand.
| Device | Where to cancel |
|---|---|
| iPhone or iPad | Settings, your name, Subscriptions |
| Mac | App Store, your name, Account Settings, Subscriptions |
| Web browser | tv.apple.com, account icon, Settings, Subscriptions |
| Apple TV box | Settings, Users & Accounts, Subscriptions |
What happens after you cancel
Canceling stops the next charge, not your current access.
You keep the Apple TV service until the end of the period you already paid for. Apple sends an email to confirm the change right away.
If you are still in a free trial, canceling usually ends access at the end of the trial, so cancel a day early if you want the full trial without a surprise charge.

People also ask
Will I get a refund for the rest of the month? Usually no. Apple bills in full periods, so you keep access until the paid time runs out instead of getting money back.
Does canceling delete my Apple Account? No. It only stops the Apple TV plan. Your Apple Account, purchases, and other subscriptions stay put.
Can I still watch shows I bought? Yes. Movies and shows you purchased outright stay in your library. Only the Apple TV streaming catalog goes away.
How do I stop a plan I got through a bundle like Apple One? Cancel Apple One the same way in Subscriptions. You cannot drop just the TV part of a bundle without changing the whole plan.
