Step-by-step
- Sign in at netflix.com (cancelling is easiest from a web browser, not the TV app).
- Click your profile icon (top right) → Account.
- Under “Membership & Billing”, click Cancel Membership.
- Confirm by clicking Finish Cancellation.
- You’ll get a confirmation email. You keep access until your current billing period ends.
⚠️ Watch out for
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google, or your TV/cable provider, you must cancel there instead — not on netflix.com.
- Netflix restarts your plan if you sign back in within 10 months, keeping your profiles and history.
FAQ
Do I get a refund if I cancel Netflix early?
Netflix does not pro-rate refunds, but you keep full access until the end of the period you already paid for.
Will I lose my watch history?
No — if you rejoin within 10 months your profiles, history and recommendations are restored.
Still being charged?
If Netflix won’t let you cancel, send a certified cancellation letter (it’s legally binding), then dispute the charge with your bank and file an FTC complaint.
