Free Trials on Hulu

If you're thinking about trying Hulu before paying for a subscription, the Hulu free trial is a great way to explore its streaming library. Depending on the available offer, eligible users can enjoy access to Hulu content, live TV, and bundled services for a limited period before billing begins.

In this guide, you'll learn who qualifies for a Hulu free trial, which plans include it, how long it lasts, and how to cancel before being charged.

Who Is Eligible for a Hulu Free Trial?

Free trials are generally available to:

• New Hulu subscribers.

• Eligible returning users who have not had a Hulu subscription within the past 12 months.

Eligibility may vary depending on your account history and current promotional offers.

Which Hulu Plans Include a Free Trial?

Free trial availability depends on Hulu's current offers. Eligible users may find free trials on select plans, including:

• Hulu + Live TV

• Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN bundle (when offered)

Available plans and promotions may change over time.

How Long Does the Hulu Free Trial Last?

The trial length depends on the subscription plan you choose. The exact expiration date is shown in your Hulu account after you sign up.

Keep in mind that promotional offers and trial periods may vary.

Can You Change Your Hulu Plan During the Free Trial?

Yes. You can modify your subscription while your free trial is active. However, changing your plan or adding premium features may end your free trial or result in immediate charges, depending on the selected option.

Always review the billing details before confirming any changes.

In some situations, you may see a prorated charge if different trial periods or add-ons end on different dates. After that, your regular monthly subscription amount will apply based on your selected plan and any additional services.

What Happens When the Free Trial Ends?

Once your free trial expires, Hulu automatically begins your paid subscription using the payment method you provided during sign-up.

If you do not want to continue, be sure to cancel before the trial ends to prevent automatic charges.
