Can I unsubscribe from Starz anytime?

Yep. You can cancel your Starz subscription whenever you want. Just know that you won't get a prorated refund. Your access will simply stop at the end of your current billing cycle.

Can I get a refund from Starz if I forgot to cancel?

Probably not. Like most streaming services, Starz's policy is no refunds for forgetfulness. Once the charge goes through, that money is usually gone. You can try calling customer service, but don't get your hopes up.

How do I know my Starz subscription is cancelled?

You should receive a confirmation email. You can also go back to the subscription page where you canceled. It should now say your subscription will 'expire' on a certain date instead of 'renew'.

How long does it take for Starz to cancel?

The cancellation itself is instant. It just means your plan won't auto-renew. You can keep watching Starz until the last day of the billing period you already paid for.

What else should I know before I cancel my Starz subscription?

The most important thing is to remember where you signed up. If you subscribed through Amazon, Hulu, or your cable provider, you must cancel through them. The Starz website can't do it for you.

How do I raise a complaint to Starz?

Your best bet is to call their customer service line at 1-855-247-9175. You can also use the contact form on their help website, but calling is usually more direct for complaints.

How to Cancel Your Starz Subscription (2025)

How to Cancel Starz Subscription on Desktop

This is the most direct way to cancel, but only if you signed up on the Starz website. If you subscribed through another service, this won't work. It's a common headache.

1 Log In to Your Starz Account

Go to the official Starz website and click the 'Log In' button. You'll need the email and password you used to sign up.

2 Navigate to Settings

Once you're in, find your profile icon. It's usually in the top-right corner. Click it and select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu. I had to hunt for this for a second, it wasn't super obvious.

3 Find the Subscription Section

In the Settings menu, look for a section called 'Subscription'. This is where they keep all the billing details.

4 Click 'Cancel Subscription'

You should see a link or button that says 'Cancel Subscription'. They might hide it under a few other options, so look carefully. Click it.

5 Confirm Your Cancellation

Starz will probably ask you why you're leaving and might even offer you a discount to stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, just follow the prompts to confirm. Don't fall for the last-minute deal unless you really want it.

How to Cancel Starz Subscription on iOS

If you signed up for Starz through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel it through Apple. You can't cancel it on the Starz website.

1 Open Your Device Settings

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. It's the gray gear icon.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.

3 Go to Subscriptions

Find and tap on 'Subscriptions'. It's honestly kind of buried in there, which is annoying. You might have to wait a moment for the list to load.

4 Find and Select Starz

Scroll through the list of your active and expired subscriptions to find Starz. Tap on it.

5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'

Tap the 'Cancel Subscription' button at the bottom. You'll have to confirm your choice, and then you're done. Apple will handle the rest.

How to Cancel Starz Subscription on Android

Canceling on Android is similar to iOS. If you subscribed through the Google Play Store, this is the only way to do it. Don't even bother with the Starz app or website.

1 Open the Google Play Store

Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.

2 Tap Your Profile Icon

Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner.

3 Select 'Payments & subscriptions'

From the menu, select 'Payments & subscriptions'.

4 Tap 'Subscriptions'

Tap on 'Subscriptions' to see all the services you're paying for through Google Play.

5 Find Starz and Cancel

Find Starz in the list and tap on it. Then, hit 'Cancel subscription' and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm.

How to Cancel Starz Subscription on Other TV Providers (Amazon, Hulu, Roku)

This is where most people get stuck. If you pay for Starz as part of another bill (like Amazon Prime, your cable company, or Hulu), you must cancel it there. The Starz website can't help you.

1 Identify Your Billing Provider

First, you have to remember how you signed up. Was it an add-on to your Hulu plan? Or through Amazon Prime Video Channels? This is the most important step.

2 Log In to the Third-Party Service

Log into the account for that service (e.g., Amazon, Hulu, Roku, Sling TV). Do not log into Starz.

3 Find Your Subscriptions or Add-ons

Navigate to that provider's account or subscription management page. For Amazon, it's under 'Memberships & Subscriptions'. For Hulu, it's 'Manage Add-ons'. It's different for every service, which is a pain.

4 Cancel the Starz Add-on

Find the Starz add-on or channel in your subscription list and select the option to cancel or remove it. One user on Reddit said, 'I spent an hour on the Starz site before realizing I had to cancel it through Amazon. So frustrating.'

Cancel Starz Subscription with phone

You can call Starz customer service at 1-855-247-9175. They are typically available 24/7, but expect potential wait times. Have your account information ready before you call.

Cancel Starz Subscription with email

Starz uses a contact form on their help website instead of a direct email. Go to the Starz Help Center, find the 'Contact Us' section, and fill out the form. Response times can vary, so this isn't the fastest method.

Starz does not offer refunds for partially used billing periods. When you cancel, your access will continue until the end of your current paid month or year. So, you can cancel a day after it renews and still watch for the whole month. There is no option to pause your subscription, you can only cancel it.
