# Delete a listener for your Network Load Balancer
Delete a listener

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.
