Before you cancel

What happens to your data

DVR recordings are saved for 90 days in case you resubscribe.

What you lose

• Access to DVR recordings made with the subscription (kept 90 days)

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

Questions people ask

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

• Pause Pause instead: sign in, select Manage, then See pause options. A standard pause lasts up to 6 months; Pause Extra (1 to 3 months, $5 monthly deposit returned on restart) keeps DVR playback. Not available for day passes, promotions, gift-card or BitPay-only payers, or Apple Pay, Google Pay and other third-party billing sling.com
• Free plan Sling Freestream's 600+ free channels stay available while paused or cancelled sling.com
• Cheaper plan Switch to a cheaper base plan (Manage, then Switch or Upgrade) or remove extras; removing extras gives no refund, and you keep them until the end of your billing cycle sling.com

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Deleting the app does not cancel; sign in and cancel
• 1, 3 and 7 Day Passes can't be paused or cancelled
• If the cancel page errors, Sling suggests a private or incognito tab or clearing the browser cache

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/sling_tv.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated impossible).
