Finished binging all of Shetland and now the BritBox subscription is just... sitting there? We get it. Launched in 2017, BritBox is the go-to spot for a massive library of British television, from classic comedies to the latest dramas. But maybe you signed up for one show and forgot, or the cost is just adding up. With plans from $8.99 to $89.99, it's easy to let it renew by accident. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android, potentially saving you up to $89.99 a year. It's time to take back control of your subscriptions.
How to Cancel BritBox on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to BritBox through the App Store, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. You can't cancel it inside the BritBox app itself, which is a bit of a pain.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. This will show you all your active and expired subscriptions managed through Apple.
4 Find and Cancel BritBox
Scroll through the list to find BritBox. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel BritBox on Android
For Android users, your subscription is managed by Google Play. The process is straightforward, but you have to do it through the Play Store, not the BritBox app.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, tap on Subscriptions.
4 Locate Your BritBox Subscription
You'll see a list of all your active subscriptions. Find BritBox and tap on it.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, tap Cancel subscription. Google Play will ask for a reason, just pick one and confirm the cancellation.
How to Cancel BritBox on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for those who signed up directly on the BritBox website. If you subscribed through another service like Amazon Prime Video Channels or Roku, you must cancel it there instead.
1 Visit the BritBox Website
Open your web browser and go to the official BritBox website. Make sure you're on the correct regional site (e.g., for the US).
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Sign In button at the top right and enter your email and password.
3 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, click on your name in the top-right corner and select My Account from the dropdown menu.
4 Find the Subscription Section
In the 'My Account' area, look for the Subscription tab or section. This is where your plan details and billing information are located.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
You should see an option that says Cancel Subscription. Click it. BritBox might show you an offer to stay, but you can proceed with the cancellation. Honestly, I had to click it twice before it actually registered.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
A few things to keep in mind before you say goodbye to all those British dramas:
- No Refunds for Partial Months: BritBox does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel mid-cycle, you've already paid for that month or year, and you won't get any money back.
- Keep Watching Until the End: Your access doesn't stop the moment you cancel. You can continue watching until the end of your current billing period.
- No Pausing Option: Unfortunately, BritBox doesn't let you pause your subscription. If you want to take a break, your only option is to cancel and then resubscribe later.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your BritBox Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find Your Subscription? You probably signed up through a third party. Check your subscriptions on Amazon Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, Google Play, or Roku. You must cancel through the service you used to sign up.
- Website Glitches: If the website is acting up, try logging in from a different browser or using an incognito window. Sometimes clearing your browser's cache and cookies does the trick.
- Still Stuck? If all else fails, you'll have to contact BritBox customer support directly through their website's contact form. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. It's not the fastest process.
Subscription Plans and Pricing (2025)
