Cancel Netflix vs Disney+
Side-by-side comparison of cancellations, conditions, and cancellation steps.·Last updated: 2026-10-12
Cancellation Steps
Netflix
- Go to the Manage your membership page on Netflix (sign in first if needed).
- Tap or click 'Cancel'.
- Under Cancel, tap or click 'Finish Cancellation'.
- A confirmation email will be sent to the email on the account.
Disney+
- Log in to Disney+ in a web browser.
- Select your Profile, then select Account.
- Select your Disney+ subscription under Subscription.
- Select Cancel Subscription and confirm.
- You keep access until the end of your current subscription term; timing depends on whether you're billed monthly, annually or are in a promotional period.
Cancellation Methods
Netflix
- Website
- Mobile app
Disney+
- Website
- Mobile app
Third-Party Billing
Netflix
- If you don't see a cancel option in your account, you're billed by a payment partner: your Account page (Membership section) shows a link to cancel or instructions to contact that partner.
- If you signed up through a third party, you may need to cancel through that third party, for example by turning off auto-renew in your account with them.
- Important: signing out or deleting the Netflix app does NOT cancel your account.
Disney+
- If you signed up through a third-party billing partner (for example, an app store), cancel through that partner; its terms govern billing, cancellation and refunds for that subscription.
- If you had an existing Hulu, ESPN or HBO Max subscription before upgrading to a bundle: canceling the original subscription keeps the bundle running, and canceling the bundle leaves the original subscription running at the then-current price unless you cancel it separately.
Reactivation & Data Retention
Netflix
- You can restart your Netflix account at any time.
- Netflix keeps your viewing activity, ratings, account details, gameplay history and game saves for 24 months after your account closes, so they're available if you restart within that time.
Disney+
- If you change your mind before your subscription term ends, you can restart: select your Profile, then Account, then Restart Subscription, and select Agree.
- Once your subscription term ends, the subscription is fully canceled and can't be restarted; you'd need to subscribe again.
Additional Notes
Netflix
- Instead of cancelling, you can pause your membership 1 month at a time, for a total of up to 3 months; you aren't charged while paused.
- Pausing isn't available on the Basic plan or with some payment methods, such as Direct Debit, gift cards and some partner payments.
- If your account is on hold, it closes immediately when you cancel.
- If you're switching to a package that includes Netflix, link your account to the package instead of cancelling; Netflix then stops billing your payment method.
- After cancelling, change your password and tick 'Sign out of all devices' so no one in your household can restart Netflix without your permission.
- Customer service: help.netflix.com.
Disney+
- Monthly subscriptions billed by Disney+ can be paused from a computer or mobile browser (Account → your subscription → Pause Subscription); certain plans aren't eligible. The pause starts on the first day of your next billing period and you aren't charged during it.
- Pausing Disney+ in a bundle also pauses the other services in the bundle.
- Canceling your Disney+ subscription doesn't delete your Disney+ account or your MyDisney account.
- If your subscription is canceled because your payment failed, or you switch billing to a third party, you may forfeit any credits on your account.
