📡 How to Cancel SiriusXM in 2026 – Complete Step-by-Step Guide

⏱️ Reading Time: 6 minutes

SiriusXM is one of the most recognizable audio subscription services, with over 34 million subscribers across satellite radio and streaming. But with rates increasing again in February 2026 and the auto-renewal trap catching many drivers off guard after their free trial ends, cancellation is a common concern.

Whether you're paying for a car radio you no longer use, tired of the renewal price hikes, or just switched to Spotify or Apple Music, this guide walks you through every possible way to cancel SiriusXM—whether you subscribed directly, through your car's trial, Apple, Google, Roku, or T-Mobile.

🔑 Key Takeaway: SiriusXM is notorious for making cancellation slightly tricky. You cannot cancel directly inside the SiriusXM app. If you subscribed via a third party (Apple, Google, Roku, T-Mobile), you must cancel through them. For direct subscribers, you can cancel online or by phone. Audio subscriptions are generally non-refundable after the grace period [citation:8][citation:11].

📊 SiriusXM Plans & Pricing in 2026

SiriusXM raised rates on February 24, 2026 for most plans [citation:1]. Here are the current standard rates (promotional rates vary):

Plan Monthly Price Includes
All Music $9.99+ Music channels, app + car radio
Music & Entertainment ~$18.99+ Music + entertainment channels
Sports Pass (New Sept 2026) $5.00 Live sports play-by-play + local sports radio [citation:15][citation:18]
All Access $24.98+ Every channel: music, sports, talk, news [citation:9]
Streaming Only Varies App/online listening without car radio

⚠️ Note: Prices vary by plan and promotions. The U.S. Music Royalty Fee (adjusted to 19.98% for satellite plans) is included in quoted rates [citation:1]. Always check your Online Account Center for your exact renewal rate.

⚠️ Important: As of March 15, 2024, SiriusXM Audio subscriptions are non-refundable once you're past the grace period [citation:8][citation:11].

Here's how the policy works:

  • Monthly Billed Subscriptions: A prorated refund is available only within 7 days of your initial purchase. Renewal charges are not refundable.
  • Non-Monthly (Quarterly/Annual) Plans: A prorated refund is available within 30 days of your initial purchase or each renewal charge.
  • After the Grace Period: Cancellation stops future renewals, but no refund is given for the remaining time. You keep access until the end of your paid term.
  • Third-Party Billing (Apple, Google, Roku, T-Mobile): The third party's refund policy applies, not SiriusXM's [citation:8][citation:11].
  • Car Trials: No refunds apply to trials since you haven't paid yet—but you must cancel before it converts to paid.
💡 Strategy: Since refunds are limited, cancel a few days before your renewal date to maximize your paid access. If you're within the 7-day or 30-day grace period, request the refund immediately.

  • Apple/Google → Cancel through App Store/Google Play
  • Roku → Cancel through the Roku channel settings
  • Free trial → Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends
