Cancellation guide

How to cancel Financial Times

A clear, step-by-step guide to cancelling your Financial Times News & Media, plus the things worth checking before you leave.

Before you cancel

  • You may be in a minimum contract, so leaving early can trigger an early-exit charge. Ask for the exact figure before you agree to anything.
  • Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
  • There may be a notice period, so you can be billed for a short while after you ask to leave. Cancel as early as you can.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another provider, you must cancel with them, not Financial Times directly.
  • Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.
