# Delete a listener for your Application Load Balancer
<a name="delete-listener"></a>

Before you delete a listener, consider the impact on your application:
+ The load balancer immediately stops accepting new connections on the listener port.
+ Active connections are closed. Any requests in progress when the listener is deleted will likely fail.
