"to call something off" is only used in contexts like events or meetings, while "cancel" can be used more broadly. "Call off" is slightly more informal.
"We had to call off the meeting due to bad weather."
"That TV Show was cancelled due to low viewership." (Meaning, the show was completed, but did not continue for another season or have new episodes.)
"The film was cancelled during production for multiple reasons, but the main reason was, it didn't have a Director."
