Cancel Sling TV directly through your account settings

You can cancel Sling TV by logging into your account on the Sling website or mobile app and navigating to your subscription settings. The process takes about five minutes and does not require you to call customer service or speak to anyone. Your access ends when ready after you confirm the cancellation, though you may retain access through the end of your current billing cycle depending on when you cancel.

Sling TV offers two separate services — Sling Orange and Sling Blue — and you can cancel either one independently if you subscribed to both. If you have only one service, cancelling it will close your entire Sling account. The company does not charge a cancellation fee, and you will not be locked into a contract, so you can cancel at any point without penalty.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Sling account on the website or app, go to Account Settings, and select the option to cancel your subscription.
  • Sling TV charges month-to-month with no contract, so you can cancel without penalty at any time.
  • Your access may continue through the end of your current billing period, even after you confirm cancellation.
  • If you subscribed to both Sling Orange and Sling Blue, you can cancel one service while keeping the other active.
  • Contact Sling customer support if you cannot locate the cancellation option or if your account shows an error during the process.

Steps to cancel on the Sling website

Go to sling.com and sign in with your email address and password. Click on your account name or profile icon in the upper right corner, then select Account Settings or My Account from the dropdown menu. Look for a section labeled Subscription, Billing, or Plan Details.

Find the subscription you want to cancel — if you have both Sling Orange and Sling Blue, each will appear as a separate line item. Click the button next to your subscription that says Cancel Subscription, Manage, or Edit. The site will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay. You can ignore this offer and proceed with cancellation. Once you confirm, you will see a message stating that your subscription is cancelled.

Steps to cancel on the Sling mobile app

Open the Sling TV app on your phone or tablet and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper left or lower right corner, depending on your device. Select Account or Settings. Scroll down to find Subscription, Manage Subscription, or Billing.

Tap the subscription you want to cancel, then look for a Cancel or Cancel Subscription button. The app will walk you through a confirmation screen. After you confirm, the cancellation is complete. If you cannot find these options in the app, use the website method instead — the website interface is often clearer for account changes.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Your Sling TV service will stop at the end of your current billing period. If you cancel mid-month, you will usually retain access until that month's renewal date. Sling does not issue refunds for unused days in your billing cycle, so cancelling on the first day of your billing period means you lose access to the rest of that month's service without a refund.

Your account login and any saved preferences will remain in Sling's system for a limited time. If you want to reactivate your subscription later, you can log back in and restart service without creating a new account. Sling does not charge a reactivation fee.

If you cannot find the cancellation option

Some account types — particularly those created through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video Channels — may require you to cancel through that platform instead of through Sling directly. If you signed up for Sling through one of these services, go to that platform's app or website, find your subscriptions section, and cancel from there.

If you signed up directly through Sling and still cannot locate the cancellation button, contact Sling customer support through their website chat or by phone. Have your account email address and the last four digits of your payment method ready. Support can confirm your subscription status and process the cancellation for you if the website or app is not working correctly.

Cancelling a subscription you signed up for through another service

If you subscribed to Sling TV through Apple, you must cancel through the Apple App Store on your device or through your Apple ID account online. Go to Settings > Subscriptions on iPhone or iPad, find Sling TV, and tap Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your account icon, select Subscriptions, find Sling, and click Edit followed by Cancel.

If you subscribed through Google Play, open the Google Play app on an Android device, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, choose Sling TV, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Amazon Prime Video Channels, go to your Amazon account, select Your Account > Prime Video Settings > Manage Your Prime Video Channels, find Sling, and click Cancel Channel. Cancelling through these platforms does not affect any other subscriptions you have with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Sling TV does not refund unused portions of your monthly subscription. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your billing date is the 1st, you lose access to the remaining days without a refund. To avoid this, cancel on or just before your renewal date if you want to use the full month.

Can I cancel one service if I have both Sling Orange and Sling Blue?

Yes. Both services appear separately in your Account Settings, and you can cancel either one while keeping the other active. You will continue to be charged only for the service you keep. If you cancel both, your entire Sling account closes.

What if I signed up through a promotional offer or free trial?

Cancel the same way you would for a regular subscription — through your account settings on the website or app, or through the third-party platform if you signed up that way. If your trial or promotional period has not ended, cancelling will stop your access when ready rather than at the end of the period.

Can I pause my Sling subscription instead of cancelling?

Sling does not offer a pause or freeze option. You must cancel to stop being charged. You can reactivate your account later by logging back in and restarting your subscription without penalty or reactivation fees.

How do I know my cancellation went through?

You should see a confirmation message on the screen when ready after you confirm cancellation. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Sling within a few minutes. You can also log back into your account and verify that your subscription no longer appears in your Account Settings.
