With Roku streaming, you can access more than 500,000 TV episodes and movies from the comfort of your couch. Many Roku channels are free, but you can also set up paid subscriptions through your Roku account (read our Roku pricing guide). However, if you change your mind and need to know how to manage or cancel a Roku subscription, we’ll cover that in this article.

Key Takeaways:

• Managing or cancelling a subscription on Roku, can easily be done on your device through your channel lineup or the Channel Store.
• You can only manage subscriptions that you have signed up for with your Roku account.
• You can also manage your subscriptions on a web browser by visiting Roku’s website, logging into your account and going to the “manage your subscriptions” page, or by using the Roku mobile app.

This how-to will only work with subscriptions made through your Roku account. If you sign up for a service elsewhere, such as through its own website, you’ll need to manage your subscriptions there, too.

Manage or Cancel a Subscription From Your Roku Device

There are two ways to manage or cancel a subscription from your Roku device — from your channel lineup or the Channel Store. We’ll show you both ways now, using the new Roku Ultra.

Canceling a Roku Channel From Your Channel Lineup

Your channel lineup is basically the list of all the channels added to your Roku. You can easily manage subscriptions from here by following the steps below.

   Press the “home” button on your Roku remote to make sure you’re on the home screen.

   You’ll see a message telling you when the subscription is due for renewal. Select “cancel subscription” and press “OK” on the remote.

1. Press the “Home” Button

   Press the “home” button on your Roku remote to ensure you’re on the home screen.

   

2. Go to “Streaming Channels”

   Select “streaming channels” and press “OK” on your Roku remote.

   It will tell you when the subscription is due for renewal. Select “cancel subscription” and press “OK” on the remote.

   Roku will confirm that your subscription has been canceled. It’ll also show the date that your subscription will end.

   

Final Thoughts

We hope that you’ve found this guide helpful. It’s easy to manage or cancel subscriptions on Roku, and you can do it through your Roku streaming player or your account online.

Just remember that this will only work for subscriptions billed to your Roku account. Any subscriptions that you’ve signed up to elsewhere will need to be managed in the same place.

Also, it’s easy to add channels to Roku, but if you want to add a channel not available in your region, our best VPN for Roku guide may help.
