How to Cancel Netflix

Step by step · checked against the official help page in October 2026

Short answer: Go to the Manage your membership page on netflix.com, select Cancel, then Finish Cancellation. Deleting the app does not cancel it.

Cancel on the website

Go to netflix.com and sign in, then open your Account and the Manage your membership page.
Tap or click Cancel.
Under Cancel, tap or click Finish Cancellation. A confirmation email is sent to the email on the account.

No cancel option?

Then you pay Netflix through a partner (for example your phone, internet or TV company, or an app store).
On your Account page, look under Membership: you'll see a link to cancel or instructions to contact that partner.

What happens after you cancel

You can keep watching until the end of the billing period you've paid for. To see when your account closes, check your Payment History.
You won't be charged again unless you restart your account.
If your account is on hold, it closes right away when you cancel.
Signing out or deleting the Netflix app does not cancel your membership.

Before you cancel: save money

Just need a break? On the Cancel page you can Pause for 1 Month instead (not on the Basic plan or with some payment methods). Pauses can add up to 3 months.
Switching to a phone or TV package that includes Netflix? You don't need to cancel: link your existing account to the package and Netflix stops billing you directly.
