How to Cancel Twitch Subscriptions in 2026
Updated February 2026 • Difficulty: Easy • $5.99-24.99/month per sub
Twitch subscriptions auto-renew monthly. If you're subbed to multiple streamers, those $5.99 charges add up fast. Three Tier 1 subs = $17.97/month = $215/year. Here's how to cancel any or all of them.
Cancel a Channel Subscription (Desktop)
- Go to twitch.tv/subscriptions
- Find the channel subscription you want to cancel
- Click the cog icon (⚙️) next to the subscription
- Click "Don't Renew Subscription"
- Confirm — you keep access until the current period ends
Cancel on Mobile
- Open the Twitch app
- Tap your profile icon
- Go to Subscriptions
- Select the subscription to cancel
- Tap "Don't Renew"
Important: If you subscribed through the iOS app, you must cancel through Apple Settings → Subscriptions. Twitch can't cancel Apple-billed subs.
Prime Gaming Sub (Free with Amazon Prime)
Your Amazon Prime membership includes one free Twitch channel subscription per month. This sub does not auto-renew — you must manually resubscribe each month. So there's nothing to cancel. If you want to stop the Prime Gaming sub entirely, you'd need to cancel Amazon Prime itself.
Cancel Twitch Turbo ($11.99/month)
Twitch Turbo removes ads site-wide. To cancel:
- Go to twitch.tv/subscriptions
- Find Twitch Turbo
- Click "Don't Renew Subscription"
Alternative: uBlock Origin (free browser extension) blocks Twitch ads on desktop. It's a cat-and-mouse game with Twitch, but it works most of the time. That's $143.88/year saved.
The Subscription Audit
Most Twitch viewers accumulate subs over time — a streamer you watched daily six months ago that you haven't opened since. Go to your subscriptions page and be honest: when did you last watch each channel? If it's been more than a month, cancel.
💰 Quick Math
- 1 Tier 1 sub: $5.99/month = $71.88/year
- 3 Tier 1 subs: $17.97/month = $215.64/year
- 5 Tier 1 subs: $29.95/month = $359.40/year
- 1 Tier 3 sub: $24.99/month = $299.88/year
💡 Tip: You can still watch any streamer for free without a subscription. Subs give you emotes, ad-free viewing on that channel, and a badge. If you don't use the emotes and don't mind occasional ads, free viewing is perfectly fine.
