How to cancel a Now membershipon July 17, 2023 at 09:35 Tech Advisor
Now (previously known as Now TV) is a huge streaming service in the UK, being home to the critically acclaimed show Succession, as well as blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick.
However, if you’ve bought a Now membership for something specific, then you may be considering cancelling – after all, monthly subscriptions can rack up over time, and saving pennies is a priority for a lot of us in 2023.
The process for cancelling is a little convoluted, but we’ve broken it down into easy-to-follow steps. This way, you can avoid possibly being charged by mistake. We have a similar article for cancelling Netflix.
If you’re thinking of subscribing to another platform, you can take a look at our roundup of the best TV streaming services.
How to cancel a Now membership
This method should apply to all the Now memberships, including Entertainment, Cinema, Sports, Hayu and Boost. As far as we can tell, each membership must be cancelled individually.
We cancelled our subscription through a web browser on a laptop – Now recommends using a PC or tablet, rather than a smartphone.

How to cancel Now if you pay through another provider
If you signed up for Now via BT, Apple, Amazon or TalkTalk then you’ll need to cancel through these providers separately. For Apple, you can manage it through your subscriptions on your phone. Amazon users can manage it in the section called memberships and subscriptions.
BT and TalkTalk users should contact their provider over the phone.
