Cancel Sports Illustrated: Easy Method
What is Sports Illustrated
Overview
Sports Illustrated is a sports media brand offering digital magazine issues, news, features and multimedia coverage of a wide range of sports. Subscriptions are available through digital platforms and direct web accounts.
Content and formats
Content is delivered as single digital issues, monthly or annual digital subscriptions, and through the SI website and apps. Billing and access depend on the platform used to subscribe.
How to cancel Sports Illustrated
Cancel via App Store (iOS)
- Open iPhone Settings.
- Tap your name at the top, then tap "Subscriptions".
- Select "Sports Illustrated" and tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Cancel via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon.
- Choose "Payments & subscriptions" then "Subscriptions".
- Select "Sports Illustrated" and tap "Cancel subscription".
- Access continues until the end of the current payment cycle.
Cancel via Web / Direct subscription
- Log into your account at si.com and look for subscription settings to cancel, if the subscription was taken directly.
- If your subscription is billed by a third party (Apple, Google), you must cancel with that platform; the SI website cannot cancel third-party billed subscriptions.
- For written or formal cancellation requests you can send a letter to the postal address provided in this guide.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, you typically retain access to paid content through the end of the current billing period. You will not lose access immediately unless otherwise stated by the platform.
Renewal and billing
Automatic renewal stops after cancellation; no new charges should occur for future cycles. For platform-billed subscriptions, Apple or Google handles billing changes.
Account information
- Your account and profile data generally remain unless you request deletion.
- Keep account details, order numbers and confirmation emails for your records and any disputes.
Will I get a refund?
SI refund overview
SI generally does not offer prorated refunds; when cancelling mid-period, access continues but payment is not refunded in most cases.
Time-limited refund rules
- New annual subscriptions (from December 17, 2025): full refunds available within 14 days of the start date; after 14 days no refund but access continues until expiration.
- Subscriptions started prior to December 17, 2025: full refund if cancelled within 14 days; 50% refund if cancelled within 180 days; after 180 days no refund.
- Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable under SI policy.
Platform-specific refunds
If you subscribed via the App Store or Google Play, refund decisions and processes are handled by Apple or Google, not by SI. Contact the platform for any refund requests.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
SI policy rights summary
SI’s updated policy (effective December 17, 2025) defines time-limited refund rights for new and older annual subscriptions as outlined above.
Local escalation options
- If you have a dispute that the platform or SI cannot resolve, you may contact your card issuer or payment provider to query charges.
- For unresolved consumer complaints in Nigeria, you can approach the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) for advice and escalation.
- Keep evidence: receipts, subscription confirmations, cancellation attempts and correspondence to support any complaint.
Platform-specific constraints
Remember that Apple and Google control refunds for subscriptions billed through their stores; SI cannot directly refund those charges.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Some reviewers praise SI’s content quality and magazine sections for depth and variety.
- Readers appreciate individual feature issues and the breadth of sports coverage.
Common complaints
- Reports of delivery or access problems, such as missed issues after an address change or subscription glitches that continued charging users.
- Complaints about poor customer service response times and difficulty obtaining refunds or resolving billing issues.
What to expect
Experiences vary by how you subscribed: issues are more often reported by users who subscribed via third parties or who experienced account changes.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents
- Subscription confirmation or order number.
- Account email address used to subscribe.
- Payment receipts or bank/card statements showing charges.
Optional supporting items
- Confirmation screenshots of cancellation attempts in apps or on the SI website.
- Any correspondence with SI, Apple, Google or your payment provider.
Common mistakes
Cancelling on the wrong platform
Many users attempt to cancel on the SI website when their subscription is billed by Apple or Google. This does not stop platform billing.
Always check which payment provider billed you and cancel through that provider when necessary.
Missing proof or confirmation
Failing to keep confirmation emails, screenshots or transaction IDs makes disputes harder to resolve. Always save cancellation confirmations.
Also avoid assuming immediate loss of access; note the billing period end date if you plan pro-rated refunds or disputes.
Comparative recap
Platform differences
How you cancel and who handles refunds depends on the billing platform: App Store, Google Play or direct web subscription each have distinct procedures.
