Short answer: How to cancel STARZ depends on who bills you. If you pay STARZ directly, sign in at starz.com, open Settings and choose Cancel Subscription; if you pay through Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Roku, Hulu, YouTube TV or a cable company, you have to cancel there instead. Either way, STARZ says you keep watching until the end of your current billing cycle, so cancel at least a day before your renewal date. The catch: deleting the app does not cancel anything.
STARZ is sold in more places than almost any other streaming service: on its own website, inside the Apple and Google app stores, as an Amazon Prime Video Channel, as an add-on to Hulu, YouTube TV and Sling, and through cable and satellite providers. That is why so many people search for how to cancel STARZ and then cannot find the button. This guide uses STARZ’s own help articles, checked on 9 October 2026, to show the exact route for each place you might be billed. If you are cutting several services at once, our guide on how to cancel subscriptions online covers the bigger clean-up.

How To Cancel STARZ On starz.com
If STARZ bills you directly (the charge on your card says STARZ), the web is the route STARZ itself recommends in its help article How do I cancel my STARZ subscription.
- Go to starz.com in a browser and log in.
- Select the user icon in the upper-right corner.
- Choose Settings.
- Under Billing Plan & Information, select Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the on-screen steps and select Submit.
- Look for the confirmation email STARZ sends once the subscription is cancelled. Keep it.
If you do not see a Billing Plan section or a cancel button, STARZ is probably not the company billing you. Check the table above and your bank statement to find the right route.
How To Cancel STARZ In The STARZ App
For a direct STARZ subscription, you can start from the mobile app, though it hands you off to the browser to finish.
- Open the STARZ app and log in.
- Tap More at the bottom-right.
- Tap Settings, then Account Management.
- Under My Subscription, tap Cancel Subscription. This opens your mobile browser.
- Follow the steps and tap Submit. STARZ may ask why you are leaving; answering is optional.
- Watch for the confirmation email.
If you subscribed inside the app on an iPhone or Android phone, the app store bills you, not STARZ. Use the Apple or Google Play steps below instead.
How To Cancel STARZ On Amazon
Amazon is one of the most common places to pick up STARZ, often through a cheap Prime Video Channels promotion. STARZ’s help article on cancelling STARZ through Amazon describes two different Amazon routes, depending on how you signed up.
If You Added STARZ As A Prime Video Channel
- On a computer, go to amazon.com/myvs and sign in with the Amazon account that pays for STARZ.
- Find STARZ under Your Channels.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the prompts to finish, and check that STARZ now shows an end date.
If You Subscribed In The STARZ App On A Fire TV Or Kindle
- On a computer, go to amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions.
- Find STARZ in the list.
- Select Actions, then Cancel your subscription.
Either way, STARZ says you keep access until the end of the current billing cycle. Cancelling the STARZ channel does not cancel Amazon Prime itself. If you also want to end Prime, see our guide to cancel Amazon Prime. Note that some Amazon households have more than one Amazon account; if STARZ is not listed, sign in with the other one.
Cancel STARZ On iPhone, iPad Or Apple TV
If your statement shows Apple, Apple bills you, and only Apple can stop the renewal. Apple’s cancel a subscription page gives this path:
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap STARZ.
- Tap Cancel Subscription (you may need to scroll) and confirm.
On an Apple TV, STARZ’s own Apple help article says to open Settings, select Users & Accounts, choose your account, select Subscriptions, then STARZ, then Cancel Subscription. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then Subscriptions. You can also manage it in a browser at account.apple.com.
Apple notes that if there is no cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red, the subscription is already cancelled. If you are on a free trial, Apple advises cancelling at least 24 hours before it ends. If you are also paying for Apple’s own service, our guide to cancel Apple TV covers that separately.
Cancel STARZ On Android (Google Play)
STARZ’s Google subscription help article and Google’s own cancel a subscription page describe the same steps.
- Open the Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture to open the account menu.
- Open your Subscriptions list.
- Tap STARZ.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
On a computer, go to play.google.com, open your subscriptions, find STARZ and click Cancel. Google says uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription, and you can keep using what you have already paid for until the period ends.
Cancel STARZ On Roku, Samsung Or Microsoft
Roku
STARZ’s Roku help article gives two ways:
- On the Roku home screen, highlight the STARZ app and press the * (Options) button on your remote.
- Choose Manage Subscription, then Cancel Subscription.
- Or, on a computer, sign in to your Roku account, select Manage Your Subscriptions, choose STARZ and select Unsubscribe.
Samsung Smart TV
STARZ’s Samsung article says to cancel on a computer at samsungcheckout.com: log in, open your purchase history, go to subscriptions, find STARZ and select unsubscribe. On the TV itself, the path runs through Settings, General, System Manager, Samsung Account, then payment information and purchase history.
Microsoft
- Sign in at account.microsoft.com on a computer.
- Find the STARZ subscription and click Manage.
- Select Change, then turn off automatic renewal and confirm.
In all three cases, STARZ says access continues until the end of the current billing cycle.
Cancel STARZ On Hulu, YouTube TV Or Sling
When STARZ is an add-on to another streaming service, you remove the add-on in that service. Your base plan stays active.
YouTube TV
From STARZ’s YouTube TV add-on article:
- Open the YouTube TV app or go to tv.youtube.com.
- Click your profile picture and go to Settings, then Membership.
- Clear the checkmark next to STARZ.
- Click Agree to confirm.
To drop YouTube TV entirely, see our guide to cancel YouTube TV.
Sling TV
- Sign in at sling.com on a computer.
- Open the subscription changes section and expand the add-ons in your package.
- Uncheck STARZ, scroll down and choose Review.
- Confirm with Submit Order.
Hulu
Hulu sells STARZ as a premium add-on on top of a Hulu base plan. Hulu’s STARZ page says it bills after a 7-day free trial for new add-on subscribers unless you cancel. To remove it, sign in to your Hulu account in a web browser, open the section that manages your plan and add-ons, and remove STARZ. Your Hulu plan continues. The Hulu Help Center has the current menu labels. If you want to leave Hulu as well, our guide to cancel Hulu walks through it.
Cancel STARZ Through A Cable Or Satellite Provider
STARZ is also sold as a premium channel by cable and satellite companies. STARZ’s own support site tells customers who get STARZ through a cable or satellite provider to contact that provider about what their package includes. If STARZ appears on your cable or satellite bill, the provider is the one that bills you, so the provider is the one that cancels it.
- Find the provider’s name and your account number on your TV bill.
- Sign in to the provider’s website or app and look for a channel or package change option.
- If there is no online option, call the provider and ask to remove the STARZ premium channel.
- Ask when the change takes effect and whether a bundle discount changes as a result.
- Check your next bill to confirm the STARZ line item is gone.
If you watch the STARZ app by signing in with your cable or satellite login, the charge still comes from your provider. Removing STARZ from your package with the provider is what stops it.
Billing Cycle And What Happens After You Cancel
Every STARZ cancellation article we checked says the same thing: when you cancel, you keep access to STARZ until the end of your current billing cycle. That means:
- Cancel any time before your renewal date. You do not lose days by cancelling early in the cycle, and cancelling at least 24 hours before renewal avoids getting caught by app-store timing.
- Your renewal date depends on who bills you. Check it in your starz.com settings, Amazon’s Your Channels page, Apple or Google subscriptions, or your provider’s bill.
- Annual plans run to the end of the year you paid for. Cancelling stops the next renewal.
STARZ Refunds
STARZ’s help articles on cancelling do not promise refunds for unused time. Their consistent message is that you keep access until the end of the billing period instead. Where you can get money back depends on who billed you:
- Billed by STARZ: contact STARZ support from the help center at support.starz.com if you were charged after cancelling or charged twice. Have your confirmation email ready.
- Billed by Apple: request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple says to allow 24 to 48 hours for an update on the request.
- Billed by Google Play: Google says refunds are possible in some cases but not guaranteed; you request them through Google Play.
- Billed by Amazon, Roku, Hulu, YouTube TV, Sling or a cable provider: ask that company. STARZ cannot refund charges it did not collect.

Troubleshooting
| Problem |
Why it happens |
Fix |
| No Cancel Subscription button on starz.com |
Someone else bills you (Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, a cable provider) |
Check your bank statement for the merchant name and use that company’s route |
| STARZ not listed in Amazon Your Channels |
You subscribed through the Amazon app store, or on another Amazon account |
Check amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions, then try other household Amazon logins |
| Still charged after deleting the app |
Deleting an app never cancels a subscription |
Cancel through the company that bills you |
| Charged after you cancelled |
You cancelled after the renewal date, or the cancellation did not complete |
Check your confirmation email date and contact the billing company with it |
| Two STARZ charges in one month |
You subscribed in two places, such as starz.com and Amazon |
Cancel both, then ask the later one for a refund |
| Locked content after cancelling cable STARZ |
Your provider’s package no longer includes it |
Expected; no action needed unless you still see a STARZ charge |
| Apple shows no cancel button |
The subscription is already cancelled or expired |
Look for the red expiration message in Subscriptions |
If STARZ Will Not Cancel
Keep a written record: screenshots of the cancellation, confirmation emails, dates and the names of anyone you spoke with. If charges continue, send the billing company a short written complaint with that record, and ask your card issuer or bank to dispute the charge or block the merchant as a backstop. You can also report the problem to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to your state attorney general.
The FTC’s click-to-cancel rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit in July 2025, but the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) still requires a simple way to stop recurring online charges, and California and many other states have automatic renewal laws. This is general information, not legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cancel STARZ?
Cancel with whoever bills you. For a direct subscription, log in at starz.com, open Settings and select Cancel Subscription under Billing Plan & Information.

Can I cancel STARZ anytime?
Yes. STARZ subscriptions can be cancelled whenever you like, and you keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
Why can’t I cancel STARZ on the website?
Usually because a third party bills you, such as Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Roku or your cable company. Check your bank statement for the merchant name and cancel there.
