- What happens after you cancel
- Cancelling takes effect at the END of the current paid term, not straight away — you keep listening to every channel until then, and future renewals stop. The refund rules changed in March 2024 and are now narrow, but worth knowing, because they are the one case where cancelling DOES stop the radio immediately. On a monthly plan you can get a prorated refund within 7 days of the initial purchase; on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual plan, within 30 days of the initial purchase and of each renewal charge. Cancel inside one of those windows and the subscription terminates at once and the unused part is refunded. Outside them there is generally no partial refund at all. So if an annual renewal has just been charged and you did not want it, the 30 days after that charge is the only window that returns money. A subscription billed by Apple, Google or a car maker rather than by SiriusXM has to be cancelled with them.

Cancelling SiriusXM through Apple
About 3 minutes · Easy
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, then tap your name
On the web, go to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions
Select the subscription, then Cancel Subscription
- Notice period
- At least 1 day before your renewal date. Apple requires cancellation at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for — Apple does not refund the unused part, and cancelling early does not end it sooner. The subscription disappears from your Apple subscriptions list on that date. Two things this does not do: it does not close your account with the service, so anything stored there stays where it is, and it does not get you a refund. Refunds for Apple-billed subscriptions are asked for at reportaproblem.apple.com, not from the merchant, who genuinely cannot issue one.

Cancelling SiriusXM through Google Play
About 3 minutes · Easy
Open the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions and select the app
Tap Cancel subscription and confirm
- Notice period
- None — cancelling takes effect straight away.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Google Play does not refund the remainder, and the subscription shows as cancelled with its end date until then. Cancelling here stops Google charging you; it does not close your account with the service or delete anything in it. A refund, if you want one, is requested through Google Play — and only within a short window, after which Google sends you to the developer.
