Things to Know about Canceling Your Sling TV

When Does the Subscription End?

After cancelling your Sling TV, your existing subscription will remain active until your billing cycle is over. If, for example, you cancel your Sling TV on the second week of the month, you can continue watching it for the remaining two weeks. You won't be charged for the next month. Cancelling your subscription does not affect your ability to keep watching for the rest of the billing cycle unless you are on a free trial.

It is possible to continue watching frees shows on certain networks even when your subscription is over. Some of those networks include History Channel and Food Network.

Are there any Refunds?

Sling TV does not give you refunds if you cancel your subscription. It does not matter whether you cancel on day 1 or day 29 of the month. You may continue to watch it for the rest of the month but you can't get your money back.

What Happens if I Delete the App?

Deleting the Sling TV app from your mobile phone or computer does not cancel your subscription. You can only do that through the website. If you do not cancel through the website, you have to keep making the monthly payments.

When cancelling your Sling TV account, you have two options; you may choose to delete your whole account including your name, address and credit card information. Another option is to delete your credit card info. This option is a great idea if you want to keep your account. You can ask Sling TV to delete your credit card info without deleting your account. This way, you can use your account in the future.

Another thing to note is that only the person who created the account is allowed to delete it. Deleting your Sling TV is a permanent and irreversible process. Everyone listed for the account will lose access.
