Billing-specific instructions:
STARZ cannot cancel subscriptions started through another provider. Check your statement to find who bills you.
- Billed through Apple (iTunes/App Store): iPhone/iPad → Settings → your name → Subscriptions → STARZ → Cancel Subscription.
- Billed through Google Play: Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → STARZ → Cancel subscription.
- Billed through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, Hulu, or a cable provider: Cancel through that provider's account portal.
Traps to expect
- Wrong-platform canceling. The most common failure: trying to cancel on starz.com when Apple, Amazon, or Roku actually bills you. It won't stop the charges.
- No pause option. STARZ offers no subscription pause; cancel and resubscribe when you want it back.
- No refunds for partial months. You keep access through the paid period, but unused days aren't refunded.
Retention offers
The cancel flow may offer a discounted rate to stay:
- Intro-style discount: If you were on a promo rate, weigh whether you'll actually watch in the next month. Verdict: take it only as a bridge; otherwise cancel cleanly.
After you cancel
- You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
- Your viewing history and preferences may be saved if you log back in with the same account.
Coming back
Sign back in at starz.com and restart. New-subscriber promos (like $4.99/mo for three months) appear regularly, and the Prime Video bundle with Crunchyroll ($16.99/mo) can beat the standalone price.
