Pause Your Subscription
If you're moving, traveling, or just want to Sling low for a bit, you can now pause your subscription. To do so, sign in to your account at sling.com/my-account and then click the Pause Subscription link:
- Select how long you'd like to pause your subscription for: One, two, or three months. The pause dates coincide with your billing cycle. For example, if you signed up for service on the 18th of the month, you will have the option to pause your service from the 18th to the 18th in one, two or three month increments.
- Important note: Your DVR recordings will be lost if you select to Pause for longer than one month
- Then, simply review the details on your Pause, including the date it will take effect, the date your subscription will restart, and what you'll be subscribed to when it restarts.
- Select Confirm Pause to finalize.
The Pause will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle and will automatically restart on the date shown. If you'd like to restart your service before the automatic restart, log in to your account at sling.com/my-account and select Restart Now.
Important note: Customers taking advantage of promotions (prepay bundles, annual plans, free trials), customers using only gift card as payment, customers that signed up through their devices (excluding Roku), customers that signed up through an affiliate retail partner or customers using Amazon Pay are not eligible to pause their subscriptions at this time.
Cancel Your Subscription

Once finished, we’ll let you know when your cancellation will take effect, where we’ll send a confirmation email and how you can restart service
After you cancel, your current paid subscription will run for the duration of your billing cycle or any prepaid period. This means you can continue to enjoy your subscription until your renewal date. If you cancel during a free trial, service will be terminated immediately. Note: We do not provide refunds for prepaid or partial months of service.
