How to Cancel Twitch Subscriptions in 2026
Twitch subscriptions are sneaky — you might be paying $4.99-$24.99/month per streamer across multiple channels without realizing it. Here's how to find and cancel all your Twitch recurring charges.
Cancel a Channel Subscription
- Go to twitch.tv → click your avatar → Subscriptions
- Find the channel you want to cancel
- Click the gear icon → Don't Renew
- Confirm — you keep the sub benefits until the period ends
Cancel Twitch Turbo
Twitch Turbo ($11.99/mo) removes ads across all channels. To cancel:
- Go to twitch.tv → click your avatar → Subscriptions
- Under Twitch Turbo, click Manage
- Click Cancel Subscription
Prime Gaming (Free Sub)
If you have Amazon Prime, you get one free Twitch channel sub per month. But there's a catch:
- Prime subs do NOT auto-renew — you must manually re-sub each month
- If you cancel your Amazon Prime, the free Twitch sub goes away too
- This is the best deal in streaming: one free sub to any channel every month
Subscription Tiers and Costs
- Tier 1: $4.99/mo per channel — standard emotes and chat perks
- Tier 2: $9.99/mo per channel — extra emotes
- Tier 3: $24.99/mo per channel — all emotes, highest badge
If you're subbed to 3 channels at Tier 1, that's $15/month or $180/year — more than Netflix Premium.
Cancel on Mobile (iOS/Android)
If you subscribed through the Twitch mobile app:
- iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → find Twitch subs → Cancel
- Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Cancel
Mobile subs often cost more (Apple's 30% cut). Check your bank statement to see if you're paying Apple or Twitch directly.
Free Alternatives to Subbing
You can still enjoy Twitch without paying:
- Watch any stream for free (with ads)
- Chat in most channels without subbing
- Use your Prime Gaming free sub on your favorite streamer
- Follow channels for go-live notifications
- Use Twitch's channel points (earned by watching) for perks
Delete Your Twitch Account
If you want to leave Twitch entirely:
- Cancel ALL subscriptions first
- Go to Settings → Disable Your Account
- Twitch deactivates for 90 days, then permanently deletes
- You can reactivate within 90 days by logging back in
Annual Savings: $60-$500+/Year
The average Twitch user with 2-3 channel subs and Turbo spends $300+/year. Cancel what you don't actively use and keep just your Prime free sub for your one favorite streamer.
