📺 How to Cancel YouTube TV in 2026 – Complete Step-by-Step Guide

⏱️ Reading Time: 5 minutes

YouTube TV has become one of the most popular live TV streaming services in the US, offering over 100+ channels, unlimited DVR storage, and NFL Sunday Ticket. But at $82.99/month (with periodic price hikes), it's also one of the most expensive streaming subscriptions you can carry.

🔑 Key Takeaway: YouTube TV has no contracts, so you can cancel at any time. You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle, and YouTube TV does not offer refunds for unused days. However, you retain access to your DVR recordings for 21 days after cancellation.

1. Log In to PayPal

Log in to your PayPal account.

2. Go to Settings → Payments

Go to Settings → Payments → "Manage automatic payments".
