Things to know

• Some NYT subscription types require a live chat or phone call to cancel — be prepared for this if the online flow does not offer a direct cancel button.
• If you subscribed through Apple, cancel via Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
• If you subscribed through Google Play, cancel in the Play Store under Subscriptions.
• NYT Games, Cooking, and Wirecutter may be billed separately — check whether you have multiple active subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to call to cancel The New York Times?

Depending on your subscription type, the online cancellation flow may require a live chat or phone call to complete. This can vary; check your account page at myaccount.nytimes.com for the options available to you.

What happens to my NYT account when I cancel?

Your account remains and you can continue to access the limited number of free articles per month. Subscriber-exclusive access ends at the close of your paid period.

Does canceling my NYT subscription also cancel Games or Cooking?

Only if they are part of the same bundle subscription. If you have separate NYT sub-subscriptions (e.g., a standalone Games plan), those must be canceled independently.
