How to Cancel SiriusXM

$10.99–$25.99/mo (varies by plan) · $131.88–$311.88/yr annually

Hard to cancel

SiriusXM rarely offers a simple online cancel button — the "Cancel" flow usually opens a retention chat or requires a phone call, and reps are trained to offer discounts before processing the cancellation.

Why people forget: A free trial bundled with a new or used car purchase is the most common trigger — it auto-converts to paid after a few months and keeps billing the card on file.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1

    Log in to your account at siriusxm.com

  2. 2

    Go to "My Account" and look for "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel"

  3. 3

    If a live chat opens instead of a direct cancel button, tell the agent clearly you want to cancel, not pause or discount

  4. 4

    Expect at least one retention offer (a discounted rate) — decline it if you actually want to cancel

  5. 5

    If chat isn't available or won't cancel you, call subscriber services at 1-866-635-2349 and request cancellation directly

  6. 6

    Ask for a confirmation number or email confirming the cancellation date

  7. 7

    Check your next 1-2 statements to confirm billing actually stopped

Watch out for

  • ⚠️Reps are trained to offer 2-3 rounds of discounts before processing a cancellation — stay firm if you want it fully cancelled
  • ⚠️Car-installed radios may still display "SiriusXM Ready" or show signal after cancelling — that's normal and doesn't mean you're still billed
  • ⚠️Free trials from a car purchase convert to paid automatically unless cancelled before the trial end date
  • ⚠️Streaming-only and satellite hardware plans are managed separately — cancelling one does not cancel the other if you have both
  • ⚠️Refunds for the remaining prepaid period are rarely offered automatically — ask explicitly if you paid annually
