How to cancel Nintendo Switch Online

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Nintendo Switch Online — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Nintendo Switch Online bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Nintendo Switch Online in 5 steps

  1. Sign in to your Nintendo Account at accounts.nintendo.com (or on the console: System Settings → your user → Nintendo Switch Online).
  2. Open the 'Shop Menu' / 'Nintendo Switch Online' → 'Membership Options'.
  3. Turn OFF 'Automatic Renewal' — this stops the next charge.
  4. Confirm automatic renewal now shows as off.
  5. Your membership continues until the end of the paid period.

What happens after you cancel

Turning off automatic renewal stops the next charge; your membership (and access to cloud saves) continues until the current period ends. Individual and Family plans are managed the same way. Nintendo generally doesn't refund the current period.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Nintendo Switch Online is billed through your Nintendo Account. Turn off auto-renewal in the account or on the console — there's no separate app-store subscription.

Charged after cancelling Nintendo Switch Online?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Nintendo Switch Online — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Nintendo Switch Online charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Nintendo Switch Online keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Nintendo Switch Online.
Does cancelling Nintendo Switch Online delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Nintendo Switch Online's settings.
How do I know my Nintendo Switch Online cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Nintendo Switch Online and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.
