What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel a paid Crunchyroll membership the service typically stays active until the end of your paid billing period. You retain access to premium features until that date.

Subscription renewal and billing

Cancellation stops automatic renewal. You will not be billed again after the current paid period ends provided the cancellation is processed correctly on the platform that billed you.

Account data and library

Your Crunchyroll account (watch history, queue, profile) usually remains, but access to premium-only features ends on expiry. You can reactivate by resubscribing.

Will I get a refund?

Digital subscriptions and gift cards

Crunchyroll’s policy generally treats digital subscriptions and gift cards as non-refundable. There is no automatic 14‑day cooling-off refund stated by Crunchyroll.

Merchandise and store refunds

• Store merchandise can usually be returned within 30 days, unused and in original packaging, for a refund to the original payment method.
• Refund processing typically takes 3 - 10 business days after the return is processed. See the store refund policy: Crunchyroll Store Refund & Exchange Policy.
