Cancel Starz by removing it from your Amazon Prime Video account

To cancel Starz on Amazon, go to your Prime Video settings, find the Starz add-on subscription, and select the option to cancel. The process takes about two minutes. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle — Amazon does not charge you again, but you keep watching until that date passes.

You do this through Amazon's website or mobile app, not through Starz directly. Even though Starz is a separate streaming service, Amazon handles the subscription because you signed up for it as an add-on to Prime Video.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel Starz through Amazon Prime Video settings, not through the Starz website or app.
  • Your Starz access continues until the end of your current billing period after you cancel.
  • You can resubscribe to Starz through Amazon at any time without losing your Prime Video membership.
  • Check your Amazon billing history to confirm the cancellation took effect and no further charges appear.

Steps to cancel on a computer

Open Amazon.com and sign in to your account. Go to Your Account in the top right corner, then select Prime Video Settings or Manage Your Prime Video. Look for the section labeled Your Subscriptions or Add-on Subscriptions.

Find Starz in the list and click on it. You will see a button that says Cancel Subscription or Cancel Add-on. Click it, and Amazon will ask you to confirm. Select Yes, cancel Starz or the equivalent confirmation button. Amazon will send you a confirmation email within a few minutes.

Steps to cancel on the Amazon mobile app

Open the Amazon app and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap Your Account. Select Prime Video Settings or Manage Your Prime Video.

Tap Your Subscriptions or Add-on Subscriptions. Find Starz and tap it. Select Cancel Subscription or Cancel Add-on, then confirm when prompted. You will receive a confirmation email.

What happens after you cancel

Your Starz subscription remains active through the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid on the 15th of the month, you can watch Starz until the 15th of the next month, then your access stops. Amazon will not charge you again after cancellation.

You can still watch any content you downloaded to your device before the cancellation date, but you will not be able to stream new content or access the Starz app once your subscription ends. If you change your mind, you can resubscribe through the same Prime Video settings page at any time.

If you cannot find the cancel button

The subscription menu location varies slightly depending on whether you are using a computer, phone, or tablet. If you cannot locate your subscriptions, try searching "manage prime video subscriptions" in the Amazon search bar at the top of the page — this usually takes you directly to the right screen.

If the Starz add-on does not appear in your subscriptions list, you may have already cancelled it, or the subscription may be tied to a different Amazon account. Check that you are signed into the correct account. If you signed up for Starz through a family member's Prime account, ask them to cancel it from their account settings.

Confirming the cancellation

Check your email for the confirmation message from Amazon. This email confirms the date your Starz access will end. Keep this email for your records in case you need to reference it later.

You can also verify the cancellation by returning to Prime Video Settings and checking your subscriptions list. Starz should no longer appear, or it should show a status like "Cancelled" or "Ends on [date]". If Starz still appears as an active subscription after 24 hours, contact Amazon customer service to confirm the cancellation went through.

Resubscribing to Starz later

If you want to watch Starz again in the future, you can resubscribe through the same Prime Video settings page. Go to Your Account > Prime Video Settings > Add-on Subscriptions and look for Starz in the available add-ons. Click Subscribe and confirm. Your new subscription will start when ready, and you will be charged on the same day each month.

Resubscribing does not affect your Prime Video membership or any other add-ons you have. You can cancel and resubscribe as many times as you want without losing access to Prime Video itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel Starz through the Starz app instead of Amazon?

No. Because you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video, you must cancel through Amazon. The Starz app does not have a cancel option for subscriptions purchased through Amazon. Going to Starz directly will not stop the charges.

Will cancelling Starz affect my Prime Video membership?

No. Starz is an add-on to Prime Video, not part of the base membership. Cancelling Starz does not change your Prime Video access or any other add-ons you subscribe to.

When will I stop being charged for Starz?

You will not be charged again after you cancel. Your current billing cycle continues until its end date, then the subscription stops. For example, if you cancel on the 10th but your billing date is the 20th, you can watch until the 20th and will not be charged on that date.

Can I get a refund for the current month if I cancel mid-cycle?

Amazon does not refund partial months. Once you cancel, you keep access through the end of your current billing period. If you want to stop paying when ready, you would need to contact Amazon customer service to request an exception, though refunds are not may provide.

What if I see a Starz charge after I cancelled?

Check your cancellation confirmation email to see when your access was supposed to end. If you see a charge after that date, contact Amazon customer service with your confirmation email. They can investigate whether the cancellation processed correctly and issue a refund if needed.
