How to cancel PDC TV and protect your streaming rights in canada
What is PDC TV and why cancellation might be your next step
PDC TV is the official streaming platform for Professional Darts Corporation events, delivering live matches, replays, and on-demand content featuring tournaments including the World Darts Championship and international tour events. You subscribe on a monthly or annual basis, and the service appeals to dedicated darts enthusiasts who want comprehensive coverage of PDC competitions worldwide.
If you've realised the content doesn't align with your viewing habits, or you're concerned about unexpected charges, cancelling promptly protects your budget. Yafee guides Canadian subscribers through every cancellation method, refund option, and your legal rights as a consumer so you can exit without confusion or hidden fees. This guide walks you through the entire process with precision and clarity.
When cancellation makes practical sense
You should consider cancelling PDC TV if you've finished watching your priority tournaments, prefer free broadcast alternatives, or the annual commitment no longer fits your schedule. Many subscribers discover they don't watch enough matches to justify the monthly cost-that's a legitimate reason to step away. Some cancel after the initial promotional period ends and the full price surprises them. Others shift to alternative streaming services or simply lose interest in competitive darts. Whatever your reason, recognise that moment and act before the next billing cycle begins.
Common reasons canadian subscribers cancel
Subscribers often cancel because they've completed their viewing of a specific tournament, found that free-to-air broadcast options cover the events they care about, or decided the subscription expense doesn't reflect actual usage. Seasonal interest also plays a role; many fans subscribe during major championships and pause during quieter months. Some cancel because they prefer to purchase pay-per-view access for specific events rather than maintain a full annual plan. Yafee's data shows that contract transparency and simple cancellation processes increase customer satisfaction, even for departing subscribers.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian federal and provincial consumer protection statutes grant you significant rights that protect your cancellation decision.
Cooling-off period and automatic renewal protection
Under the Consumer Protection Act in Ontario and similar legislation in provinces including British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, you generally have a 14-day cooling-off period to cancel an online subscription and request a full refund-unless you explicitly waived that right at purchase or immediately started using premium features (such as priority event access or pre-sale ticketing). Keep your order confirmation and account setup screenshots to prove what you agreed to at purchase.
Canadian law also requires that companies obtain your clear, informed, and explicit consent before enrolling you in automatic renewal. If PDC TV did not obtain unambiguous agreement before charging you on a recurring cycle, you may have grounds to dispute charges even after the initial cooling-off window closes. Furthermore, if you cancel during your paid period, you retain the legal right to access the service until the end of your current billing cycle-companies cannot immediately revoke access upon cancellation.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel PDC TV without penalty or explanation under most provincial consumer protection frameworks. If PDC TV refuses to process your cancellation, process a chargeback through your payment provider, or continues charging after you've submitted a valid cancellation request, you can escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, contact Consumer Protection Ontario; in British Columbia, contact the Office of the Superintendent of Consumer Services; in Alberta, contact the Fair Trading Act administrator. Yafee recommends documenting all cancellation attempts and keeping records of emails, confirmation numbers, and timestamps.
PDC TV pricing and subscription plans
Understanding your current plan helps you calculate refund eligibility and notice period requirements.

| Annual subscription |

Annual subscriptions offer better value if you commit to a full year, but they also lock you in longer. Monthly plans give you flexibility but cost more per month on a per-day basis. The annual plan works out to approximately $9.33 per month, whereas the monthly plan costs $17.99-a significant difference if you plan to stay for the full year. Check your account to confirm which plan you're on before you cancel, as the notice period and refund eligibility differ between monthly and annual subscriptions.
How to cancel PDC TV step by step
PDC TV offers multiple cancellation routes depending on your location, payment method, and account status.
Step 1: log in to your PDC TV account
- Visit the PDC TV website (pdctv.tv) and sign in with your email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings, typically found in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
- Look for a "Subscription" or "Billing" section.
- Verify your current plan type (monthly or annual) and the next billing date.
Step 2: locate the cancellation option
- Within your subscription settings, find the option labeled "Cancel subscription," "Manage subscription," or "End subscription."
- PDC TV may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation-select the option that best applies, or select "Other" if none fit precisely.
- Note any retention offers PDC TV presents; you are not obligated to accept them.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request
- Click the "Confirm cancellation" or "Complete cancellation" button.
- PDC TV should display a confirmation message on-screen and send a confirmation email to your registered address.
- Save this email confirmation for your records-it serves as proof of your cancellation request.
- Note the cancellation date and the date your access will end (typically the end of your current billing cycle).
Step 4: verify the cancellation has processed
- Log back into your account within 24 hours to confirm the subscription status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
- Check your email for a second confirmation message confirming the cancellation has been processed.
- If you don't see either confirmation, contact PDC TV support immediately-see the contact section below for mailing and email addresses.
Alternative method: cancellation by email or registered mail
If you cannot access your online account or prefer written cancellation, you can submit your cancellation request in writing.
- Prepare a brief email or letter stating:
- Your full name (as it appears on your account)
- Your email address associated with the account
- Your account number (if visible in your settings)
- The date you wish to cancel
- A simple statement: "I request cancellation of my PDC TV subscription effective immediately."
- Send the email to PDC TV's customer support address or submit by registered mail to their postal address (see contact details below).
- If mailing, use a tracked or registered service so you have proof of delivery.
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation and allow 5-7 business days for processing.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and which plan you hold.
Monthly subscription refunds
If you cancel during the first 14 days of your subscription and have not used premium features (such as priority event access), you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act. Yafee recommends requesting this refund explicitly in your cancellation email: "I request a full refund under the 14-day cooling-off period." If you cancel after 14 days, you forfeit the pro-rata refund unless PDC TV has breached the contract or you have other legal grounds.
Annual subscription refunds
Annual subscribers who cancel within 14 days of purchase are also entitled to a full refund. However, if you cancel after 14 days, PDC TV may offer a pro-rata refund (refunding the unused portion of your annual fee) or may retain the full amount, depending on your province's specific consumer protection rules and PDC TV's terms. Contact your provincial consumer protection authority if PDC TV refuses a pro-rata refund after the cooling-off period-many provinces require this as standard practice.
What happens to your access after cancellation
You retain access to PDC TV until the end of your current billing period. If you paid for a monthly plan and cancel on the 10th of a 30-day month, you can watch until the 30th without restriction. On the final day of your billing cycle, your login credentials stop working and you cannot access any content. Any recordings you made or live events you bookmarked are lost, so download or note any important event schedules before the access expires.
Refund timeline and payment method
If PDC TV approves a refund, the credit typically returns to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal account) within 5-10 business days. Check your bank or credit card statement online to confirm the refund has posted. If the refund doesn't appear after 14 days, contact PDC TV's support team with your cancellation confirmation email and request a status update in writing. Yafee advises keeping all confirmation emails and screenshots until you see the refund in your account.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Many subscribers cancel successfully but undermine their position by making preventable errors-Yafee has identified the key pitfalls so you don't fall into them.
Assuming automatic cancellation after non-payment
Do not assume that stopping payment or blocking the charge will automatically cancel your account. PDC TV will likely treat missed payments as a breach of contract, freeze your access, and may pass your account to a collections agency. This damages your credit score and creates confusion about whether you formally cancelled. Always submit an explicit cancellation request through the account portal or in writing.
Relying solely on verbal confirmation
If you contact PDC TV by phone, always request that the representative send you a written cancellation confirmation via email. Verbal promises are difficult to prove if a dispute later arises. Email and account portal confirmations create a documented trail that protects you if PDC TV continues to charge after you've cancelled.
Cancelling without checking your billing date
Cancelling mid-cycle does not entitle you to a refund (except within the 14-day cooling-off period). If you cancel on the 5th of a 30-day billing cycle, you still pay for the full month. Plan your cancellation for the last few days of your cycle to minimise wasted fees.
Forgetting to update saved payment methods
After you cancel, remove your credit card or debit card from your PDC TV account settings. If you leave payment information on file, PDC TV may reactivate your subscription without explicit consent if you log back in. Deleting the payment method prevents accidental re-enrollment.
After cancellation: what to do next
Once your cancellation is confirmed, take these steps to close the loop and protect yourself from future charges.
Document your cancellation for records
Create a folder (digital or physical) containing your cancellation confirmation email, any screenshots of the "Subscription Cancelled" status in your account, and your original order confirmation. These documents prove you cancelled if a dispute later arises-for example, if PDC TV attempts to charge you again in six months.
Set a calendar reminder
Note the date your access expires and set a phone reminder for that date. Log in one final time to confirm access has ended, then change your password or delete the app from your devices if you don't plan to return.
Monitor your bank account
For the next 60 days, check your credit card or bank statement weekly to confirm PDC TV has not re-charged you. If you spot an unexpected charge, contact your bank immediately and report it as unauthorised. Your bank can reverse the transaction and investigate. Simultaneously, contact PDC TV's support team in writing to remind them of your cancellation and request an explanation for the charge.
If you change your mind
You can reactivate your PDC TV account at any time by logging in and selecting "Reactivate subscription" or by contacting support. No penalty applies for reactivating after a cancellation, though you'll start fresh with a new billing cycle at the current subscription rate.
Use these contact details if you need to cancel by mail, email, or if you encounter resistance from the online cancellation portal.

Summary and next steps
Cancelling PDC TV is straightforward when you follow the correct procedure and understand your legal rights as a Canadian consumer. You have the right to cancel without penalty under the Consumer Protection Act, and you must receive a confirmation of cancellation within a reasonable timeframe. The 14-day cooling-off period protects you if you change your mind shortly after purchase. Keep all documentation, monitor your bank account after cancellation, and escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority if PDC TV continues to charge you without justification.
