Canceling SiriusXM—What You Need To Know

Before you take any steps to cancel your SiriusXM subscription, you should be aware of the following: 

• You should cancel at least 24 hours before the subscription renews for the next month, as you may incur charges otherwise.
• Uninstalling the SiriusXM app won’t affect the subscription. You must take the appropriate steps to cancel the service effectively.
• If you’ve received or purchased a radio or another device at a discounted price with your SiriusXM subscription, you may be subject to a cancellation fee.
• Unless you specify that you want your subscription terminated at a later date, the cancellation will take effect on the day SiriusXM receives your request. 
• If you’re billed by a third party, such as Google Play or the App Store, you’ll have to cancel your SiriusXM via that platform.
