How to Cancel Netflix (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)

You opened Netflix, scrolled for ten minutes, and watched nothing. Again. If you are paying every month for a service you keep forgetting about, cancelling takes about a minute - and you keep access until your billing date. Here is exactly how, plus the traps that quietly keep people paying.

How to cancel, step by step

1Sign in on the website

Go to netflix.com and sign in - cancellation cannot be done in the mobile app if you were billed by Netflix directly.

2Open Account

Click your profile icon (top right) and choose Account.

3Cancel Membership

Under Membership & Billing, click Cancel Membership. Shortcut: go straight to netflix.com/cancelplan.

4Confirm

Click Finish Cancellation. You keep access until the end of your current billing period.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get a refund?

By default no - Netflix's policy is no refunds for partial-month periods. Refunds are discretionary (e.g. if you were charged after cancelling) and must be requested from support.

Can I still watch until the period ends?

Yes. Your membership stays active through the end of the billing period you have already paid for.

Will I lose my profiles and history?

Netflix keeps your account info for about 10 months after cancellation, so you can restart without losing profiles if you return within that window.
