How to Cancel Sling TV Subscription on an Amazon Device (Fire Stick, Fire TV & More)

When “Cancel” Doesn’t Mean Cancel

If you’ve ever tried to cancel your Sling TV subscription on an Amazon device, you know how confusing it can be.
You hit “unsubscribe,” think you’re done… and then—boom—another month’s charge appears on your card.

That happened to me too, and it honestly felt unfair. I just wanted to stop paying for something I wasn’t even watching anymore.

The truth? If you signed up for Sling TV through Amazon (like using a Fire TV or Fire Stick), you can’t cancel it directly inside the Sling app.
Amazon handles your billing — not Sling — and that’s where most people get stuck.

Let’s fix that today.

Step-by-step guide showing how to cancel Sling TV subscription on Amazon Fire Stick


💻 Step-by-Step: Cancel Sling TV Subscription on Amazon

Here’s the exact process that finally worked for me (and for hundreds of users online too):

  1. Go to Amazon.com and sign in with the same account you used for your Fire Stick or Fire TV.

  2. At the top-right corner, click on “Accounts & Lists.”

  3. Choose “Memberships & Subscriptions.”

  4. Scroll down until you see Sling TV.

  5. Click “Manage Subscription.”

  6. Select “Cancel Subscription” or “Turn Off Auto-Renewal.”

  7. Confirm your choice on the next screen.

That’s it. Once done, Amazon will send you a confirmation email showing that your Sling TV subscription is officially canceled.

📝 Pro Tip: Keep that email safe. It’s your proof if any unexpected charges appear later.

📱 How to Cancel Sling TV Using the Amazon App

If you prefer doing everything from your phone:

  1. Open the Amazon Shopping App.

  2. Tap the ☰ (menu) icon → Your Account.

  3. Scroll to Memberships & Subscriptions.

  4. Tap Sling TV, then choose Manage Subscription.

  5. Hit Cancel Subscription and confirm.

It’s that simple — but easy to miss if you don’t know where to look.

🧠 Why You Shouldn’t Just Delete the App

Deleting the Sling TV app from your Fire Stick or Fire TV does not cancel your billing.
This is one of the biggest mistakes people make.

Think of deleting the app like closing a door — it hides it, but the billing system still runs behind the scenes.
Until you cancel through Amazon Subscriptions, Amazon keeps charging you.

💬 What Happens After You Cancel

If you cancel in the middle of a billing period, you can still watch Sling TV until your current cycle ends.
Once the date passes, your access stops automatically.

And here’s a small bonus — Sling offers something called Sling Freestream, which is totally free.
Even after canceling, you can still enjoy live channels and on-demand shows without paying a rupee or dollar.
Pretty neat, right?

💸 Still Getting Charged? Here’s What to Do

If you’re absolutely sure you canceled but still see a charge, contact:

  • Amazon Customer Support – they can verify your subscription status, or

  • Sling TV Support at 1-888-826-1821 – if the charge came directly from Sling.

Make sure you have your cancellation email or transaction ID ready when you contact them. It’ll help sort things faster.

🧘 Final Words: Take Back Control

Canceling a streaming subscription shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle, but with Sling and Amazon, it often does.
The key is knowing where to cancel — through Amazon, not through Sling.

Once you go through the right steps, it’s simple.
And honestly? It feels really good when you finally see that confirmation email pop up.
No more surprise charges, no more confusion — just peace of mind.

If this helped you out, share it with someone who might be stuck too. You might save them a few dollars (and a lot of frustration).
