YouTube Premium is managed through your Google account subscriptions page, the same place you'd manage any other Google subscription.

How to cancel YouTube Premium

  1. Go to myaccount.google.com/subscriptions and sign in.
  2. Find YouTube Premium in the list.
  3. Click "Manage," then "Deactivate" or "Cancel."
  4. Confirm — you'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
Go to YouTube Premium cancellation page ↗

What happens when you cancel

You keep ad-free access and YouTube Music until the end of your paid period, then ads return and background/offline playback stop working.

Free alternative

YouTube's regular free tier (with ads) still gives you the full video catalog — you just lose background play, downloads, and YouTube Music's ad-free access.
