Cancel The Telegraph in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at telegraph.co.uk from a web browser.
  2. Open 'My Account' → 'Subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel', or contact customer service if the online flow won't finish.
  4. Decline retention offers.
  5. Cancel before your renewal date and keep the confirmation.

What happens after you cancel

You keep digital access until the end of the current billing period, then it stops renewing. The Telegraph's introductory rate converts to the full price, so cancel before that date. Cancellation may require contacting customer service. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions section instead of on the The Telegraph website.

Charged after cancelling The Telegraph?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from The Telegraph — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will The Telegraph charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, The Telegraph keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling The Telegraph.
Does cancelling The Telegraph delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in The Telegraph's settings.
How do I know my The Telegraph cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from The Telegraph and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.
