Systems and methods for controlling closed captioning using an eye tracking device are provided. The system for controlling closed captioning may comprise a display device, a closed captioning controller configured to display closed captioning text for a media item during playback on the display device, and an eye tracking device configured to detect a location of a user's gaze relative to the display device and send the location to the closed captioning controller. The closed captioning controller may be configured to recognize a predetermined gaze pattern of the user's gaze and, upon detecting the predetermined gaze pattern, partially or completely deemphasize the display of the closed captioning text.
