How to cancel Sky

Free step-by-step cancellation guide

  1. To cancel Sky TV you need to give at least 31 days' notice; Sky Broadband needs 14 days' notice.
  2. Switching broadband to another provider? You don't need to contact Sky: your new provider contacts them and handles the transfer, and your Sky contract ends on the transfer date.
  3. Give notice by getting in touch with Sky (by phone, message or email), or complete the online cancellation form if you are inside your cooling-off period.
  4. If you cancel inside your minimum term, early termination charges may apply. A 31-day rolling TV contract has no cancellation charges.
  5. Payments are taken a month in advance, so you may still be billed for the full month after your service ends. Any credit on your account comes back after 45 days.
  6. Return your equipment after cancelling: Sky Q boxes, and Sky Stream pucks bought after 23 February 2023.

Keep track of your renewals before they charge you again.
