Frequently asked questions
Cancel Sportsnet Now: The Right Way
How to cancel Sportsnet Now in india and reclaim your consumer rights
What is Sportsnet Now and how it reached india
Sportsnet Now is a Canadian-based sports streaming service that delivers live matches, replays and on-demand sports content to subscribers across multiple territories. You access it through your smartphone, tablet or web browser, typically via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon in-app purchases or direct web subscription. Although Sportsnet Now was designed primarily for Canadian audiences, the service appears on Indian app stores, which means you may have subscribed without fully understanding the regional content restrictions or the complex cancellation process specific to India.
The key distinction for your consumer protection is this: Sportsnet Now does not maintain a direct legal presence in India. Consequently, your rights and refund options are governed by your payment platform (Apple, Google, Amazon) and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, rather than by Sportsnet's own terms and conditions. This framework matters enormously when you dispute charges, request a refund or escalate a complaint.
Why Sportsnet Now may not work for indian subscribers
You likely subscribed through one of these channels: the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, web portal or Amazon. Each platform handles billing, cancellation and refunds differently, and Sportsnet Now does not provide an Indian customer support line or local payment alternative. If the service blocked your access due to regional restrictions, failed to stream live events during cricket season or charged your card without clear consent, you have legal grounds to cancel and demand a refund under Indian consumer law.
Why you might want to cancel
You may be cancelling because you did not use the service, the live sports content was not available in your region, billing continued after you thought you had stopped it, you faced technical issues that prevented streaming, or you simply prefer another platform. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to walk you through every step and ensure you reclaim any money you are entitled to.
Your consumer rights under indian law
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 protects you against unfair trade practices and defective services, even when you subscribe through an international platform.
What the consumer protection act, 2019 guarantees you
You have the right to cancel any subscription within 30 days if the service is defective or not as described in the listing. If Sportsnet Now failed to stream live events, blocked your access due to regional restrictions, charged your card without explicit consent or continued billing after you attempted to cancel, you can file a complaint with your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and demand a full refund.
Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India's recurring transaction rules require that service providers obtain explicit consent before charging your card. If you did not authorise a recurring charge, you have grounds to dispute it with your bank or card issuer. Document all failed transactions, error messages and billing dates as evidence for your complaint. Yafee recommends screenshotting every communication with the service and your payment platform.
Your legal position: Under Section 2(7) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you are entitled to refund of charges if the service is not as described. If Sportsnet Now took payment after your cancellation request or did not deliver the promised content, you can escalate to your Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and claim compensation of up to 3 times the service fee, plus costs.
Who to escalate to if Sportsnet Now refuses cancellation
If Sportsnet Now refuses to cancel your subscription or issue a refund you believe you deserve, file a consumer complaint online at www.consumer.gov.in. Your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission will investigate and may order the company to refund you plus compensation. For billing disputes on Apple or Google Play, escalate directly to their support teams (which have Indian contact points) rather than waiting for Sportsnet's response. Yafee advises documenting the entire complaint process with dates and reference numbers.
Cancellation methods: step by step
The exact cancellation procedure depends on which platform charged you, as each has its own workflow and refund window.
Cancel through apple app store on iOS
If you subscribed on your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps to stop recurring charges immediately and begin your refund request.
- Open Settings on your iOS device.
- Ensure you are on the home screen and tap the grey gear icon.
- Tap your Apple ID profile icon at the top of the Settings menu.
- Select the option showing your name and email address.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find Sportsnet Now or Sportsnet+ in the subscription list.
- Tap it to open the subscription details page.
- Tap Manage and then select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- Screenshot the confirmation message immediately.
- This proof is essential if you later need to dispute a charge.
Your subscription ends at the next billing date. Apple will not refund the current billing period unless you request one within 14 days of the charge. Yafee recommends filing a refund request within 7 days by opening the Apple App Store, tapping your profile, selecting Purchases and finding the Sportsnet Now charge. Tap Report a Problem and explain that the service was not as described.
Cancel through google play store on android
If you subscribed via Google Play, follow this procedure to cancel your recurring subscription and initiate a refund claim.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Then tap Subscriptions.
- Find Sportsnet Now in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap it to view the subscription details.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google will ask you why you are cancelling; select the reason that applies (e.g., "Service not as described").
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Google will send you a confirmation email within minutes.
- Screenshot this confirmation and retain your transaction ID.
- You will need these if you need to file a refund dispute.
Google Play typically grants refunds within 48 hours for subscriptions cancelled within 14 days of the first charge. If you have been charged multiple times and wish to recover those amounts, file a refund request for each charge. Yafee advises doing this within 7 days to maximise approval chances.
Cancel a direct web subscription
If you subscribed directly through the Sportsnet Now website using your credit or debit card, follow this process to cancel and request a refund.
- Visit the official Sportsnet Now website and log in to your account.
- Use the email address and password you registered with.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Billing.
- Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "My Subscriptions" link.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- You may be asked to confirm your reason for cancellation.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
- Save it with the date and time clearly visible.
- If no cancellation option appears, email the billing contact address listed at the end of this guide.
- Include your account email, subscription ID and request date.
- Send this via registered email (Gmail, Outlook) so you have a sent-record timestamp.
- Request a refund via email within 14 days of your last charge.
- State clearly that you cancelled within the refund window and the service was not as described.
Direct web subscriptions do not always process refunds automatically, so you must request one explicitly. Yafee recommends following up with a second email after 7 days if you receive no response, and escalating to your bank if the company does not refund within 21 days.
Cancel through amazon prime video channels
If you subscribed to Sportsnet Now as an add-on through Amazon Prime Video, cancel it using Amazon's interface.
- Visit amazon.in and sign in to your account.
- Use your registered email and password.
- Go to Your Account and select Prime Video Channel Memberships.
- This is typically under the "Prime Video" or "Subscriptions" section.
- Locate Sportsnet Now in the list of active channels.
- Click on it to open the channel details page.
- Click Cancel Channel Membership.
- Amazon will confirm the cancellation date and explain your refund eligibility.
- Screenshot the confirmation page.
- Save this as proof of cancellation.
- For refunds, follow Amazon's policy: you have 14 days from the charge date to request one.
- Go to "Your Account" > "Orders" > find the Sportsnet Now charge and select "Return or Request Refund".
Amazon typically processes refunds within 48 hours. If the refund is denied, escalate it to Yafee or your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, as international services cannot arbitrarily deny refunds under Indian law.
Pricing and subscription tiers
Sportsnet Now operates on a tiered subscription model, though pricing varies by region and platform charge.
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost (INR approx.) | Platform | Content included | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sportsnet Now monthly | ₹199-299 | Web, Apple, Google Play | Live sports, replays, on-demand | 14 days |
| Sportsnet Plus annual | ₹1,499-1,999 | Web, Apple, Google Play | Premium sports, no ads | 14 days |
| Amazon Prime Video add-on | ₹99-199 (varies) | Amazon Prime Video | Sportsnet content on Prime app | 14 days |
| Apple App Store in-app purchase | ₹199-₹299 | Apple App Store | Full Sportsnet Now library | 14 days |
| Google Play subscription | ₹199-₹299 | Google Play Store | Full Sportsnet Now library | 14 days |
All platforms honour a 14-day refund window from the date of charge. If you cancel within this window and the service was not as described, you are entitled to a full refund. After 14 days, refunds are at the platform's discretion, though Yafee advises still filing a complaint if the service was defective.
Timeline and refund expectations
Understanding the timeline for cancellation and refund processing will help you plan your next steps.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Once you cancel, the subscription ends at the next billing date (usually 24 to 48 hours after cancellation). You retain access until that date. If you subscribed monthly on the 15th, cancelling on the 1st means your access ends on the 15th of that month. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately, as this is your proof that you cancelled within the refund window.
Refund timeline by platform
Apple processes refunds within 5 to 7 business days if approved. Google Play typically refunds within 48 hours for subscriptions cancelled within 14 days. Amazon processes refunds within 3 to 5 business days. Direct web subscriptions may take 7 to 14 days, depending on the payment processor. Yafee recommends checking your bank statement 10 days after submitting your refund request to confirm the credit.
If refund is denied or delayed
If a platform denies your refund after 14 days or does not credit your account within 21 days, file a chargeback with your bank or credit card issuer. Inform your bank that you cancelled within the refund window and the service was defective or not as described. Simultaneously, file a complaint at www.consumer.gov.in with screenshots of your cancellation, billing dates and all refund requests. Your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission will investigate and may order the company to refund you plus compensation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription can be straightforward, but small oversights may cost you a refund or leave charges on your account.
Assuming the subscription is cancelled without confirmation
Many subscribers believe their subscription has ended simply because they deleted the app or stopped using it. The subscription continues to renew at your next billing date until you explicitly cancel through your payment platform's account settings. Always obtain a written confirmation (screenshot it) before assuming cancellation is complete. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover charges they incurred because they failed to cancel formally.
Missing the 14-day refund window
Both Apple and Google Play enforce a strict 14-day refund window from the charge date. If you cancel on day 15, you forfeit the refund, though you may still file a complaint if the service was defective. Note the exact date you were charged and act within this window. Set a phone reminder if necessary.
Cancelling through the app instead of account settings
Some subscribers cancel by uninstalling the app or signing out, believing this stops the subscription. It does not. You must cancel through your payment platform's account settings (Apple Settings > Subscriptions, Google Play Store > Subscriptions, or Amazon Prime Video Channel Memberships). Cancelling elsewhere leaves your subscription active and your card will be charged at the next renewal date.
Not documenting your reason for cancellation
When you cancel, platforms often ask why. Select the reason that matches your situation: "Service not as described", "Regional restrictions", "Billing issue" or similar. If you later dispute the charge, this record supports your claim. Yafee recommends also emailing the company or your payment platform with a brief explanation, as written records strengthen your case if you file a consumer complaint.
Failing to request a refund separately
Cancellation and refund are two separate actions. Cancelling stops future charges. Requesting a refund recovers the current or recent charges you have already paid. On Apple and Google Play, you must file a separate "Report a Problem" or "Request Refund" claim. On direct web subscriptions, you must email the company and explicitly request your money back. Do not assume the refund is automatic.
After cancellation: what to expect and next steps
Once you have cancelled and submitted your refund request, several things will happen in sequence. Your anxiety during this period is understandable, and Yafee is here to clarify the process.
Access and billing after cancellation
You retain full access to Sportsnet Now until your current billing period ends. If you cancelled on the 5th and your billing date is the 20th, you can watch until the 20th. No charges will be applied after this date. If you see a charge after the cancellation date, contact your payment platform immediately and file a dispute. This is a billing error on the company's part and must be reversed.
Monitoring your refund request
Check your email daily for refund status updates from Apple, Google Play or Amazon. Refund approval typically takes 3 to 10 business days. If you receive a refund rejection, the email will explain why. Common reasons include: the 14-day window has passed, or the company claims the service was delivered as promised. If rejected, reply with evidence (screenshots of billing errors, error messages during streaming, proof of regional blocking) and escalate to Yafee or your Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
If your refund doesn't appear in your bank account
Refunds typically post to your bank account or card within 5 to 7 days after approval. If 21 days have passed since approval and the refund has not appeared, contact your bank's customer service and provide them with the refund confirmation email. Some banks delay crediting refunds; your bank can check the status with the payment processor. If your bank confirms the refund was never sent, escalate to the payment platform's escalation team and file a complaint with your Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
Preventing future charges
After cancellation, periodically log into your Apple ID, Google Play and Amazon account to confirm the subscription is truly gone. Some subscribers have reported the service reappearing on their account after cancellation. Check your subscription list monthly for at least two months after cancellation. If Sportsnet Now reappears, cancel again immediately and file a complaint, as this indicates a billing malfunction.
Escalation: filing a consumer complaint in india
If Sportsnet Now refuses to cancel or refund you, India's consumer protection framework provides a formal escalation route.
Filing a complaint at consumer.gov.in
Visit www.consumer.gov.in and click File a Consumer Complaint. Select your state and fill in the complaint form with the following details: your name, email, phone number, the exact dates you were charged, proof of cancellation (screenshots), proof of refund request, and your claim amount. Clearly state that Sportsnet Now is a foreign service, so the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 applies to their payment practices in India. Upload all evidence: billing statements, cancellation confirmations, refund denial emails, and error messages. Submit the complaint.
What happens next
Your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission will review your complaint within 21 days. If your complaint is valid, they will issue a notice to Sportsnet Now (or to the payment platform, if the complaint concerns Apple, Google or Amazon). The company has 30 days to respond. If they fail to refund you, the Commission may order them to refund your amount plus compensation of up to 3 times the service fee, plus hearing costs. Yafee advises sending all communications via email (with read-receipts enabled) so you have a timestamped record to submit to the Commission.
Escalating to state level if needed
If the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (first level) denies your complaint, you can appeal to your state Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission within 30 days. If that also fails, you can escalate to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. This is a formal, cost-free process that has successfully recovered thousands of rupees for Indian consumers disputing charges from international services.
Comparison: Sportsnet Now vs. alternative sports streaming platforms
If you are considering alternatives to Sportsnet Now, this table compares leading sports streaming services available in India.
| Platform | Monthly cost | Live cricket coverage | Regional availability | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jio Cinema | Free (with Jio) or ₹29-299 | IPL, international matches | India-based, local support | Easy (Jio app or web) |
| Hotstar | ₹49-499 (Disney+) | Cricket, IPL, international | India-based, good coverage | Easy (Disney+ Hotstar app) |
| Sony LIV | ₹299-999 (annual) | Cricket, football, tennis | India-based, strong local support | Easy (Sony LIV app or web) |
| YouTube TV / YouTube Premium | ₹139-829 | Limited (varies by region) | Geo-restricted, spotty in India | Moderate (YouTube account settings) |
| Sportsnet Now (current) | ₹199-299 | Ice hockey, limited cricket | No India-based support, geo-blocking | Complex (multi-platform cancellation) |
India-based platforms such as Jio Cinema, Hotstar and Sony LIV offer stronger consumer protections under Indian law, local customer support in Hindi and English, and simpler cancellation processes. Switching to one of these services eliminates the foreign-service complications inherent to Sportsnet Now. Yafee recommends evaluating your sports viewing preferences before committing to a 12-month plan.
Contact information for Sportsnet Now cancellation
Sportsnet Now does not maintain an India-specific contact point, but you can reach its parent company through these channels for escalation purposes.
Mailing address for Sportsnet (Rogers media inc.)
If you must send a formal cancellation request by post, address it to: Sportsnet Customer Service, Rogers Media Inc., 1 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario M4W 1A8, Canada. Include your subscription email, account number (if available), request date and reason for cancellation. Send this via registered courier so you have proof of delivery. This is a last resort; Yafee advises using your payment platform (Apple, Google, Amazon) as your primary cancellation channel, as they have Indian escalation teams and faster refund processing.
Payment platform support (primary escalation route)
Apple Support: Visit support.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID and select "Subscriptions" > "Sportsnet Now" > "Report a Problem".
Google Play Support: Visit support.google.com, click "Contact us" and select "Subscription issues" > "Sportsnet Now".
Amazon Customer Service: Log into amazon.in, go to "Account" > "Customer Service" and describe your issue.

National Consumer Helpline (India): Call 1800-11-4000 (toll-free) or visit www.consumer.gov.in. File online complaints at no charge.
Reserve Bank of India (Billing Disputes): If Sportsnet Now or a payment platform violated RBI recurring transaction rules, file a complaint at rbi.org.in.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel international streaming services, recover unauthorized charges and navigate complex refund processes with confidence. Whether your issue is a geo-blocking error, a recurring charge you did not authorise or a defective service, the combination of your payment platform's support, Indian consumer law and formal complaint escalation gives you multiple pathways to resolution. Act within 14 days of your charge, document every step, and escalate if the company refuses your refund. Your consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 are absolute.
