If I Cancel YouTube TV Will I Get a Refund?


The answer to this question is quite complex, as YouTube only grants refunds to those who have reported faults in their membership. For example, if any of their features don’t work correctly, or if the subscription offers less than what they paid for. Only if you have these problems can you receive a refund from YouTube. 

However, if you pay for a subscription and simply do not like it enough, this isn’t a valid reason for receiving a refund, according to YouTube’s refund policy. In addition, YouTube will also not give you a refund if your billing period has passed. But, note that you do always have the ability to cancel your subscription at any time, and you can access the service until your billing date.
