How to cancel Sky TV
To cancel Sky TV, contact Sky by chat or phone from the Contact us page on sky.com and give at least 31 days' notice. Leaving before your minimum term ends means early termination charges, paid upfront.
Timing
Sky needs at least 31 days' notice, and it can't end before your minimum term does.
How to cancel Sky TV
- Contact Sky by chat or phone from the Contact us page on sky.com and say you want to cancel.
- Give at least 31 days' notice. It can't end before your minimum term finishes.
- Return any Sky Q box or Sky Stream puck using the returns method Sky gives you.
Watch out for
- Leaving before your minimum term ends means early termination charges, paid upfront.
- Don't cancel your Direct Debit, as Sky may still be owed money. Sky bills a month ahead, so you may get one more bill.
- UK customers can cancel a new order within 31 days of delivery or installation (Sky's cooling-off period).
If they offer you a deal to stay
You don't have to accept a retention offer. If you still want to cancel, choose the option to continue, and don't stop until you see a confirmation screen or email.

Your rights in the UK
- A service contract made online, by phone or away from a shop can usually be cancelled within 14 days of signing up, without a reason.
- You can stop a recurring card payment (a continuous payment authority) by telling your bank or card company, up to the end of the business day before it is due. They must do it. That stops the money, not the contract, so you may still owe what you agreed.
- New UK subscription rules start in January 2027: clearer information up front, regular reminders, an easier way to leave, and a new 14-day cooling-off period after a free trial or a renewal.
