How to cancel YouTube TV subscription

Wondering how to cancel a YouTube TV subscription? While signing up for it is easy, canceling it is less straightforward. We break it down for you right here.

YouTube TV is one of the most popular streaming services, and it allows you to watch over 100 live TV channels. These channels include local and national networks, sports, news, and more to help you replace traditional cable networks.

However, a YouTube TV subscription comes at a price. It costs $73 a month, or $876 a year. The subscription price has drastically increased since it was first launched.

YouTube TV offers six household accounts and can be streamed across as many as three devices. While it does allow sharing passwords within your household, unlike Netflix, considering it costs almost $900 a month, it’s a very costly service.

So, if you’re subscribed and you are ever feeling the pinch, you can follow the quick guide if you want to cancel your YouTube TV subscription.
