Cancel The Times (UK) in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at thetimes.co.uk from a web browser.

  3. Select 'Cancel', or call Customer Services — full cancellation is often phone-based.
  4. Decline retention and discount 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 Times'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.
