Cancellation policy

Starz bills automatically and renews until you cancel. Notice period: none (cancel any time). No refunds or prorated billing; access continues through the end of the current billing period (Starz Terms of Use 5.7).

Cancel on starz.com under Settings > Billing Plan & Information; effective end of period, no refund. Distributor-billed plans cancel with that distributor. Starz does not include a free trial with direct subscriptions on starz.com — its current offer is a discounted first three months and the terms state the offer "does not include free trial". A 7-day free trial may still appear through third-party channels such as Prime Video or Hulu, so availability depends on where you subscribe.
