What is Showtime Cancellation Policy
Showtime does not make leaving easy. Their policy states that once you cancel, you retain access to the content until the end of your current billing cycle. However, they strictly do not offer refunds for partial months. Period. This is a major source of complaints on Trustpilot, where users mention being charged a full month even if they cancel one day late. If you subscribed via a third party like Amazon Prime or Roku, you are subject to their specific cancellation policies, which adds another layer of confusion.
Before You Cancel Showtime: What You Should Know
Are there cancellation fees?
No, there are no hidden fees to cut the cord. You just stop paying for the next cycle.
Will my data be deleted?
Not immediately. Your viewing history and account details usually stick around for a while in case you decide to reactivate. You have to request a full data deletion separately.
Can I pause instead?
Showtime generally does not offer a pause option. It is either active or cancelled.
Best time to cancel?
Do it at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Their systems can be slow to update.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Showtime Subscription?
If you cannot find the cancel button, you are not crazy. It is likely because you subscribed through a third-party bundle. This is the most common issue reported in 2025.
- Check Amazon Prime: Many people add Showtime as a "Channel" inside Prime Video. You must cancel it inside your Amazon account under "Memberships & Subscriptions."
- Check Roku/Hulu: If you watch on a Roku device or have a Hulu bundle, the billing is managed there, not on the Showtime website.
- Try Desktop: The mobile site is often glitchy. Log in from a laptop to see all options.
- Clear Cache: Sometimes the "Cancel" link fails to load due to browser cookies. Try Incognito mode.
