Cancel Starzplay: Easy Method

What is Starzplay

Service overview

Starzplay is a subscription video-on-demand service offering movies, series and original programming under the Starz/Lionsgate+ brand.

It is available via the Starzplay website and mobile apps, and in some markets through third-party distributors such as the App Store and Google Play.

How subscriptions work

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each paid billing cycle unless cancelled by the subscriber.

How you subscribed (directly on the Starzplay site vs through a third-party store) affects where and how you manage or cancel the subscription.

How to cancel Starzplay

Cancel if you subscribed directly (web)

• Sign in at the Starzplay/Lionsgate+ website and go to Account or Settings.
• Find Subscriptions or Billing and follow the cancellation prompts to stop renewal.
• Keep a screenshot or confirmation message for your records.

Cancel if you subscribed via mobile app stores

• For iOS (App Store): open your Apple ID settings, go to Subscriptions, find Starzplay and select Cancel.
• For Android (Google Play): open Google Play Store → Subscriptions → select Starzplay → Cancel.
• If you used another distributor, manage the subscription in that distributor’s account settings.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, your subscription generally remains active until the end of the current paid billing cycle.

You retain access to content through that date even though the renewal is turned off.

Renewal and account data

The subscription will not renew at the next billing date once cancellation is completed.

Account information and viewing history may be retained according to Starzplay’s privacy policy and terms of use.

Will I get a refund?

Starzplay refund policy

Starzplay does not normally provide refunds or prorated credits for mid-subscription cancellations, except as legally required or expressly stated in their Terms of Use.

Always check the Terms of Use for the most current refund rules.

Exceptions and cooling-off rights

• In some jurisdictions there is a statutory 14-day cooling-off right allowing a full refund if you cancel within 14 days, have not streamed content, and did not consent to immediate access.
• Refunds under such statutory rights are processed via the original payment method, typically within 14 days of the cancellation notification.

• Payment method details (to identify the charge if required).

Proof to keep after cancelling

• Cancellation confirmation or screenshot of the cancellation page.
• Any email confirmation from Starzplay or the app store confirming the cancellation.

Common mistakes

Not checking how you subscribed

Many users try to cancel on the Starzplay website when they actually subscribed via the App Store or Google Play.

Always confirm whether your subscription is managed by Apple, Google or directly by Starzplay before cancelling.

Missing confirmation and proof

Failing to save cancellation confirmations leads to disputes if a renewal occurs.

Keep screenshots or emails proving you cancelled on a specific date to support any follow-up with support or your payment provider.
