Cancellation guide
How to cancel The Telegraph
A clear, step-by-step guide to cancelling your The Telegraph News & Media, plus the things worth checking before you leave.
Before you cancel
- You may be in a minimum contract, so leaving early can trigger an early-exit charge. Ask for the exact figure before you agree to anything.
- Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
- There may be a notice period, so you can be billed for a short while after you ask to leave. Cancel as early as you can.
- If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another provider, you must cancel with them, not The Telegraph directly.
- Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.
