How to Cancel STARZ
Quick answer
You can cancel STARZ by signing in to your STARZ account, going to Settings, and selecting Cancel Subscription under your billing or subscription information. STARZ says direct subscribers can cancel through account settings, but if you subscribed through a third-party distributor, you need to cancel through that distributor instead.
That means your cancellation path may be:
STARZ website
Apple / App Store
Google Play
Amazon Prime Video Channels
Roku
PayPal
Another TV, streaming, or billing provider
Deleting the STARZ app does not reliably cancel billing. It usually just removes the app from your device.
Before you cancel STARZ
Before canceling, check who is billing you. This matters because STARZ can be subscribed to directly or through another platform.
Look for the charge on your bank or card statement. It may mention STARZ, Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, Prime Video, PayPal, or another provider.
Also check:
Your renewal date
Whether you are in a free trial or promo period
Whether your subscription is monthly, annual, or part of a bundle
Whether you subscribed through a smart TV, app store, or streaming channel
Whether cancellation stops billing only or also affects your account access
STARZ says subscriptions renew unless canceled before the next billing cycle, and cancellation usually takes effect at the end of the current paid subscription period. STARZ also says it generally does not provide credits, refunds, or prorated billing unless required by law.
How to cancel STARZ on the STARZ website
Use this path if you subscribed directly through STARZ.
Go to starz.com.
Sign in to your STARZ account.
Open Settings.
Look for Billing Plan & Information or your subscription settings.
Select Cancel Subscription.
Follow every prompt until you see a cancellation confirmation.
Do not stop at a discount offer, survey, or “are you sure?” screen. Keep going until your account shows that the subscription is canceled or will expire.
How to cancel STARZ on iPhone or iPad
Use this if STARZ is billed through Apple.

Go to your Amazon account.
Open Memberships & Subscriptions or Prime Video Channels.

Select the option to manage or cancel the subscription.

Confirm the change.
On a Roku device

Common STARZ cancellation roadblocks
“I can watch STARZ, but STARZ says I cannot cancel there”
That usually means you are billed through a third party. STARZ may provide the streaming access, but Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, PayPal, or another provider controls the billing.
“I deleted the STARZ app but got charged again”
Deleting an app does not cancel most subscriptions. You need to cancel the billing agreement or subscription through the account that processes the payment.
“I do not see STARZ in Apple or Google subscriptions”
Check whether you are signed in to the correct Apple ID or Google account. Many people have more than one account, especially if they use an old email address, family account, or shared device.
“I canceled, but STARZ still works”
That can be normal. STARZ says cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current paid period, so you may keep access until the subscription expires.
“I see offers or warnings before the final cancel button”
That is a retention flow. Read carefully and keep going until you see a canceled, expiring, or auto-renewal-off status.
How to confirm STARZ is actually canceled
After canceling, do not just close the browser tab and hope for the best.
Look for one or more of these:
A confirmation email
A STARZ account status showing canceled
An expiration date instead of a renewal date
Apple or Google showing the subscription as expiring
Roku showing auto-renew turned off
Amazon showing the channel subscription canceled
PayPal showing the automatic payment removed or inactive
Take a screenshot of the confirmation page. Future you may appreciate the receipt trail.
What to do if STARZ charges you after cancellation
Check the billing name on your statement.
Search your email for “STARZ,” “Apple,” “Google Play,” “Roku,” “Amazon,” “Prime Video,” and “PayPal.”
Recheck the subscription page for the provider that processed the charge.
Contact that billing provider first if STARZ was billed through a third party.
Contact STARZ support if you subscribed directly through STARZ.
Save screenshots, cancellation emails, and bank statement details.
Request a refund if appropriate, but do not assume one is guaranteed.
STARZ says it generally does not provide refunds or prorated billing for canceled subscriptions unless required by law, though STARZ or a distributor may choose to offer refunds in select circumstances.
The Not-Subscribed note
STARZ is a good example of app-store billing confusion mixed with negative option billing. The subscription keeps renewing unless you actively cancel, but the place you watch STARZ may not be the place that bills you.
The trick is not just finding the cancel button. It is finding the right billing provider first.
Cancel smarter. Subscribe slower.
