Short answer: on an iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose Apple TV and tap Cancel Subscription. On any browser, sign in at tv.apple.com, select the account icon, then Settings, then Manage under Subscriptions, then Cancel Subscription. Do it at least 24 hours before your renewal or trial end date. If Apple TV is not in your list, Apple One, Roku, Amazon, Google Play or a partner is billing you, and you cancel there instead.
Apple TV is the streaming service that was called Apple TV+ until October 2025, when Apple dropped the plus sign. The service is the same, the price is not: it has gone up twice in a year, and it now costs $14.99 a month in the US. That has sent a lot of people looking for the cancel button.
The cancellation itself takes under a minute. The difficulty is finding where it lives, because Apple TV can be billed by Apple directly, bundled into Apple One, sold through Roku, Amazon or Google Play, or included with a phone or internet plan. This guide covers every one of those routes, plus Apple TV channels, free trials, refunds and what to do if you are still being charged.
First, Check Who Is Billing You
Apple’s own support pages say it plainly: to cancel, contact the company that bills you. Check your bank or card statement before you do anything else.

Apple raised the monthly price from $9.99 to $12.99 in August 2025, then again to $14.99 at the end of August 2026. Apple’s own product page now lists $14.99 a month after a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. One subscription can be shared with up to six people through Family Sharing.

Annual billing has been offered in the past at $99 a year, and press reports put the post-increase annual price at $119. Apple does not feature the annual plan on its main product page, so treat the figure on your own Subscriptions screen as the one that counts.
The 24 Hour Deadline
Apple’s rule for every subscription it bills is the same: cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date, and at least 24 hours before a free trial ends. Apple One says the same thing in different words, asking you to cancel at least one day before your renewal date.
Inside that window, the renewal can already be processing, and you may be charged for another month even though the cancellation goes through. Your renewal date is shown on the Apple TV entry in your Subscriptions list, so check it before you start. If you are within a day of it, cancel anyway and then read the refund section below.
How To Cancel Apple TV On iPhone Or iPad
This is the quickest route for most people, because any Apple TV subscription billed by Apple shows up here, whichever device you signed up on.
Open Settings. Use the Settings app, not the Apple TV app.
Tap your name at the top of the screen.
Tap Subscriptions. You will see active subscriptions first and expired ones below.
Tap Apple TV. On older listings it may still say Apple TV+.
Note the renewal date. It appears under the plan name.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You may need to scroll down to see the button.
Check the result. The entry should now show an expiry date in place of a renewal date.
If there is no Cancel Subscription button and you see a message in red with an expiry date, the subscription is already cancelled. If Apple TV is not in the list at all, you are either signed in to a different Apple Account or someone other than Apple is billing you.
How To Cancel Apple TV Online At tv.apple.com
The web route works from any browser, including on a work laptop, a Chromebook or an Android phone. Apple’s help page for cancelling Apple TV lists these steps:
Go to tv.apple.com and sign in with the Apple Account that pays for the subscription.
Select the account icon at the top of the page.
Choose Settings.
Scroll to Subscriptions and select Manage.
Select Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If the web page will not let you cancel, Apple suggests cancelling in Settings on one of your Apple devices instead. You can also manage every Apple subscription at account.apple.com, which is handy if you are cleaning up several at once.
How To Cancel Apple TV On A Mac Or Windows PC
On a Mac, the subscription lives in the App Store, not in the TV app’s settings.
Open the App Store.
Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, signing in first if needed.
Click your name again on the account page that opens.
Find Subscriptions and click Manage.
Choose Apple TV and click Cancel Subscription.
On Windows, open the Apple TV app or the Apple Music app, click your name in the sidebar, choose View My Account, then click Manage next to Subscriptions. Click Edit beside Apple TV, then Cancel Subscription.
How To Cancel On An Apple TV 4K Box
The name causes plenty of confusion here: Apple TV is both the streaming service and the set-top box. You can cancel the service from the box itself, and doing so does nothing to the hardware.
Open Settings on the Apple TV box.
Go to Profiles and Accounts, then select your profile name.
Select Subscriptions.
Choose Apple TV and follow the onscreen prompts to cancel.
If several people use the box, switch to the profile of the person who pays first. The same menu lists any Apple TV channels you pay for.
How To Cancel Apple TV Subscription On Android
There are two possible billers on Android, and the right route depends on which one you used.
Check your statement. A GOOGLE charge means Google Play bills you; APPLE.COM/BILL means Apple does.
For Google Play billing, open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Select Apple TV and tap Cancel subscription. You can also do this at play.google.com.
For Apple billing, open a browser, go to account.apple.com or tv.apple.com, sign in and cancel from Subscriptions using the web steps above.
Apple notes that a subscription bought through Google Play can only be cancelled through Google, so if it is not showing on tv.apple.com, check the Play Store before contacting Apple.
How To Cancel Apple TV On Roku
If you signed up inside the Apple TV app on a Roku and paid with Roku Pay, Apple cannot see or cancel the subscription. Roku has to. Roku calls the action turning off auto-renew.
Sign in at my.roku.com and open Manage your subscriptions.
Find Apple TV under Active subscriptions.
Select Manage subscription, then Turn off auto-renew, and confirm.
From the Roku device itself, press Home, highlight the Apple TV app, press the Star button on the remote, choose Manage subscription and then Turn off auto-renew. Enter your Roku PIN if asked. Roku says you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle.
How To Cancel Apple TV Through Amazon
Apple TV has been sold as an add-on channel inside Prime Video since October 2024. If you added it there, Amazon bills you and Apple’s help page sends you back to Amazon to cancel.
Sign in to your Amazon account in a browser.
Open Memberships and Subscriptions, or go to Prime Video settings and find Channels.
Find the Apple TV channel and choose Cancel Channel.
Confirm and check for the confirmation email.
Cancelling Prime itself does not always cancel channel add-ons in the way people expect, so cancel the channel explicitly. Our guide on how to cancel Amazon Prime covers the Prime side.
Smart TVs, Game Consoles And Other Devices
The Apple TV app runs on Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio and other smart TVs, plus Fire TV, Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox. On most of these, a subscription started in the app is still billed by Apple, so the cancel button is not on the TV. Cancel on tv.apple.com or on an iPhone, iPad or Mac signed in to the same Apple Account.
The exceptions are Roku and Amazon, when you paid through them. The statement table at the top settles which applies.
If Apple TV Comes With Apple One
This is the case people get stuck on most. If Apple TV is part of Apple One, it does not appear as its own cancellable line. You only see Apple One, and you cannot remove a single service from the bundle while keeping the bundle price.
Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions.
Tap Apple One.
Decide what you want. You can cancel Apple One completely, or move to individual subscriptions for just the services you want to keep, such as Apple Music or iCloud+ on their own.
Confirm and check the renewal and expiry dates on the screen that follows.
Do the maths first: Apple Music plus iCloud+ bought separately can come close to the $21.95 Apple One price. If you cancel Apple One completely, remember your iCloud storage drops back to the free tier unless you buy iCloud+ separately, which can stop backups if you are over the limit.
Apple One is cancelled by the person who pays for it. On a Family or Premier plan, other family members see the services but cannot end the plan; the family organiser has to do it.
How To Cancel The Apple TV Free Trial
New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. Buyers of an eligible new iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV box can claim three months free, as long as they redeem the offer within 90 days and have not used a similar three months or one year free offer before. Both convert to $14.99 a month automatically.
To cancel a free trial, use exactly the same steps as a paid subscription, and do it at least 24 hours before the trial ends. A few points to know:
Cancelling early may end access early. With some Apple trials and offers, access stops when you cancel rather than when the free period would have ended. Check the confirmation screen, which tells you the end date.
Seven days is short. If you started the trial to watch one show, cancel the same day and binge before the end date shown.
Device offers are easy to forget. Three months after you bought a phone is a long time, so set a reminder for the week before the offer ends.
One trial per household. If you or your Family Sharing group already used a free offer, you will not get another one.
Apple TV From A Carrier, Bundle Or Student Plan
Apple TV is bundled into several outside deals, and these do not cancel like a normal subscription.
Where Apple TV came from
How to stop it
A mobile carrier plan perk
Remove the perk or change plan in your carrier account. The Apple TV line may stay in your Apple subscriptions with the carrier as the payer.
A cable or internet streaming bundle
Change or cancel the bundle with your provider.
Apple TV and Peacock bundle
Cancel with whichever company you bought it from, Apple or Peacock.
Apple Music Student
Apple TV is included with the student plan. Cancelling Apple Music Student ends both.
Apple One
Cancel or change Apple One, as described above.
Carrier perks change often, and some have ended. When a perk ends, the subscription can roll into normal Apple billing on your own card. If you suddenly see a $14.99 APPLE.COM/BILL charge after years of free Apple TV, that is the most likely reason, and you can cancel it with the iPhone or web steps.
Apple TV Channels Are Cancelled Separately
The Apple TV app also sells other companies’ services as Apple TV channels, such as Paramount+, Starz, BritBox or AMC+. Each channel is its own subscription, billed by Apple, with its own renewal date.
Cancelling Apple TV does not cancel your channels. They keep renewing.
Cancelling a channel does not cancel Apple TV.
Each one appears separately in Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions, and in the same list on tv.apple.com and the Apple TV box.
The channel’s own website cannot cancel it. If you subscribed to Paramount+ through Apple, Paramount sends you back to Apple.
What Happened To MLS Season Pass
MLS Season Pass used to be a separate add-on, roughly $99 a season, on top of or instead of Apple TV. From the 2026 MLS season, Apple folded every MLS match into the standard Apple TV subscription, the same way it handles its Formula 1 coverage, so there is no longer a separate pass to buy.
Two things follow. If you only paid for Apple TV to watch MLS, cancelling Apple TV now ends your MLS access too. And if an old MLS Season Pass line still appears in your Subscriptions list with a renewal date, cancel it there and contact Apple support if you were charged for it in 2026.
What Happens After You Cancel
You keep watching until the end of the paid period. The Subscriptions screen shows the exact date.
Your family loses access at the same time. Everyone sharing through Family Sharing is cut off when the subscription ends.
Purchases and rentals stay. Films you bought in the Apple TV app are not part of the subscription and remain in your library.
Your watch history and Up Next list stay on your Apple Account, so they are there if you come back.
The app stays on your devices. You can still use it for purchases, rentals and channels.
Live sports go with it. MLS matches and Apple’s Formula 1 coverage are part of the subscription now.
Cancel Apple TV Or Delete Your Apple Account?
Almost everyone only needs to cancel. Deleting an Apple Account is drastic and permanent.

Can You Get An Apple TV Refund?
Sometimes. Apple does not prorate a cancellation, but it does accept refund requests for subscription charges, and it reviews each one. Requests for a renewal you did not intend, especially one you have not watched anything on, are the ones most likely to succeed.
Go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with the Apple Account that was charged.
Select I’d like to, then Request a refund.
Choose a reason, such as an unintended renewal.
Select the Apple TV charge and submit.
Wait 24 to 48 hours for Apple’s decision. If approved, the money can take longer to reach your card.
A pending charge cannot be refunded yet, so wait for the receipt email first. If you cannot find the charge, search your email for Apple receipts to identify which Apple Account made it; a family member’s purchase has to be requested from their account.
Roku, Amazon, Google Play and partner-billed subscriptions are refunded by those companies, not Apple. A bank chargeback is a last resort: an Apple Account with a disputed charge can be restricted until it is settled.
