Cancel Nintendo Switch Online in 3 steps

  1. Sign in at accounts.nintendo.com.
  2. Go to Nintendo Switch Online.
  3. Turn off automatic renewal under the active plan, and confirm.

On a console: open the Nintendo eShop, pick the account that bought the membership, open its account information, then the Nintendo Switch Online section and its cancel option. Nintendo's pages differ slightly on button labels, so follow the wording on your screen.

What happens after you cancel

  • You keep access until the current term ends.
  • Nintendo does not refund the unused time.
  • Buying a new pass turns renewal back on for that pass, so you would need to switch it off again.

Pay through an app store or a phone company?

Only the account holder who bought the plan can change this setting. Other members of a family group cannot.

If Nintendo Switch Online is billed by Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose Nintendo Switch Online and tap Cancel subscription. Google: cancel, pause or change a subscription on Google Play.

If it is billed by Apple: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Nintendo Switch Online and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple: cancel a subscription from Apple.

A tip before you cancel

Do it at least 48 hours before the membership expires, as Nintendo advises.

Forget the next renewal before it charges you

SubFinito adds up everything you pay for, shows what it costs over ten years, and reminds you before a renewal or a free trial ends. When you cancel Nintendo Switch Online, press Finito and it goes in the Graveyard with the money you saved.

Free to use. No account. Android app coming to Google Play.
