Delete a listener for your Network Load Balancer - Elastic Load Balancing
This documentation is a draft for private preview for regions in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Documentation content will continue to evolve. Published: January 3, 2026.

Delete a listener for your Network Load Balancer

Before you delete a listener, consider the impact on your application:

  • [TCP and TLS listeners] The load balancer immediately stops accepting new connections on the listener. Any TLS handshakes in progress might fail. Existing connections remain open until they naturally close or time out. In-flight requests on existing connections complete successfully.

  • [UDP and QUIC listeners] Any packets in transit might not reach their destination.
