Cancel Setanta: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Setanta sports in malaysia and avoid unwanted charges
What is Setanta sports and why people cancel
Setanta Sports is a paid streaming subscription that broadcasts live football, rugby, and other sports content across Asia. In Malaysia, you pay either RM 39.90 per month or RM 399.00 per year, and your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel beforehand. The service works on web, iOS (App Store), and Android (Google Play), which means the cancellation method depends on where you signed up, not where you watch.
Why malaysians cancel Setanta
Most users cancel for one of three reasons: they signed up for a single match or tournament and forgot the subscription renews; the annual plan felt cheaper upfront but proved unnecessary; or they found cheaper alternatives or free content. Because Setanta renews automatically, charges often come as a shock if you do not mark your calendar or cancel in advance.
The frustration is real. Many Malaysian subscribers report they cancelled but were charged again, or they could not find the cancellation button in the app. This guide cuts through that confusion and shows you exactly where to go, step by step, based on how you paid.
Setanta pricing in malaysia at a glance
| Plan | Cost (MYR) | Renewal cycle | Cost per month (effective) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | RM 39.90 | 30 days | RM 39.90 |
| Annual | RM 399.00 | 365 days | RM 33.25 |
If you opt for the annual plan, Setanta markets it as a saving of RM 79.80 compared to paying monthly for 12 months. However, that discount only matters if you keep the subscription for the full year. If you cancel after 3 months, you lose the remainder and typically receive no refund.
Your legal rights under malaysian consumer law
Your right to cancel a streaming subscription is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), Malaysia's primary consumer protection law. This Act gives you the right to cancel any distance contract (including online subscriptions) within a cooling-off period and to receive a refund, provided the contract terms are clear and you have not yet consumed the service in full.
What the consumer protection act 1999 means for you
Under the CPA 1999, if Setanta fails to provide clear cancellation instructions or deliberately hides the cancellation button, you have grounds to file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). Furthermore, if Setanta charges you after you have cancelled and can prove you cancelled, the MDTCA can order Setanta to refund the charge.
Nevertheless, the Act does not guarantee a refund for the unused portion of your subscription unless the company's terms explicitly promise one. Most streaming services, including Setanta, do not offer pro-rated refunds. This means if you cancel halfway through your monthly billing cycle, you lose access but keep paying until the cycle ends.
Your legal position on refunds
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel at any time without penalty under the CPA 1999. However, Setanta is not legally required to refund unused days or months unless the cancellation occurs within the cooling-off period and you have not accessed the service. Once you have logged in and streamed content, most subscriptions (including Setanta) fall outside the cooling-off window and become non-refundable. If Setanta charges you after confirmed cancellation, you can file a complaint with the MDTCA at 03-8000 8000 or visit mdtca.gov.my.
How to cancel Setanta before your next charge
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct path for your payment method. Yafee recommends you gather your account details first, then cancel using the exact steps below. The key is to know whether you paid via web, App Store, or Google Play, because each route has a different cancellation process.
Step 1: find your next billing date and payment method
Log in to your Setanta account and go to the Account or Subscriptions section. Write down your renewal date, your plan type (monthly or annual), and the payment method (card, wallet, or other). Take screenshots of the account page and any confirmation emails from Setanta. This evidence protects you if a charge appears after cancellation and you need to dispute it.
- Open app.setantasports.com in a web browser.
- Click Account (top right corner).
- Select Subscriptions and note the renewal date.
- Screenshot the full page and save it to your phone or computer.
Step 2: cancel via web if you subscribed directly
If you signed up directly on the Setanta website (not through an app store), the web cancellation path is the fastest and most reliable method. Yafee has tested this route with multiple Malaysian accounts and confirms the cancellation button appears consistently in the browser version, whereas the mobile app often hides it.
- Go to app.setantasports.com in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.
- Log in with your email and password.
- Click Account in the top right corner.
- Find Subscriptions and open the plan you want to cancel.
- Click Cancel subscription.
- Select your reason for cancellation (optional).
- Click Confirm cancellation.
- Wait for a confirmation email to arrive within 5 minutes.
The cancellation takes effect immediately. You will retain access until your current billing cycle ends, then the service will be disabled. If no confirmation email arrives within 10 minutes, log back in and check the Subscriptions page to confirm the cancellation was saved.
Step 3: cancel via apple app store if you subscribed on iPhone
If you signed up through the Setanta app on iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's system, not through Setanta directly. This is a common trap: many users try to cancel inside the Setanta app and fail because the app does not host the cancellation control for App Store purchases.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name (Apple ID) at the top.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Setanta Sports in the active subscriptions list.
- Tap Setanta Sports and select Cancel subscription.
- Choose your reason and confirm the cancellation.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Apple within 2 minutes.
Your access to Setanta will continue until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, you will be blocked from the service. Consequently, if your renewal date is 10 days away, you will still have 10 days of access even though you cancelled today.
Step 4: cancel via google play if you subscribed on android
Like Apple, Google Play handles all cancellations for Android subscriptions. You cannot cancel Setanta inside the Android app itself; the control lives in Google Play only. Yafee advises using a mobile device or the Google Play website to avoid confusion.
- Open the Google Play Store app on an Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon (top right).
- Select Subscriptions.
- Tap Setanta Sports.
- Click Cancel subscription.
- Follow the prompts to confirm.
- Alternatively, visit play.google.com on a web browser, go to Subscriptions, and repeat steps 4-6.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Google within 2 minutes.
Your Setanta access remains active until the last day of your current billing cycle. You will receive a refund notification from Google if a pro-rated refund applies (rare for streaming services, but possible if you cancel very early in a cycle).
Step 5: email Setanta support if you are stuck
If the web, App Store, or Google Play cancellation buttons do not appear or do not work, contact Setanta support directly. Send an email to [email protected] with your account email, your full name, your subscription plan (monthly or annual), and your renewal date. Request a manual cancellation and ask for confirmation of the cancellation in writing.
- Email subject: "Request for subscription cancellation" (plain and clear).
- Include your full name, email address, and account phone number if on file.
- State your renewal date and ask when the cancellation will take effect.
- Ask for a confirmation email.
- Keep a copy of your email and any reply for your records.
Response times vary, but Setanta typically replies within 24-48 hours during business hours. If you do not hear back within 72 hours, escalate to the MDTCA (see Legal Rights section above).
What happens after you cancel Setanta
Cancellation is not instant loss of access; it marks your account for deletion at the end of your current billing cycle. You will keep watching until that date, then the app will refuse to load new content.
Timeline after cancellation
Your account follows this sequence: (1) You cancel today. (2) You receive a confirmation email. (3) You retain full access until the last day of your billing cycle. (4) On that date, the service locks you out. (5) Your payment method is no longer charged. (6) Any future billing stops completely.
This is reassuring news for most users: you do not lose access immediately, and you do not pay for time you do not watch. If your renewal date is 5 days away and you cancel today, you get 5 more days of free use.
Refund policy after cancellation
Setanta does not offer refunds for unused days or months after cancellation unless you cancel within the first 7-14 days of your subscription (the cooling-off period, which varies by payment method). After that window, the subscription becomes non-refundable under Setanta's standard terms.
However, if a charge appears on your account after you have cancelled, or if you cancelled but were still charged, you have the right to dispute it. Contact your bank or payment provider and file a chargeback claim within 60 days of the unauthorized charge. Yafee recommends you also file a complaint with the MDTCA so they can investigate Setanta's billing practices.
How to confirm your cancellation is saved
Do not assume silence means success. Log back into your Setanta account 24 hours after cancellation and check the Subscriptions page. It should say "No active subscriptions" or show your plan as "Cancelled" with a final access date. If the plan still shows as active or renewable, your cancellation did not save. In that case, repeat the cancellation steps or email support immediately.
- Log in to app.setantasports.com.
- Go to Account, then Subscriptions.
- Confirm the status shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscriptions".
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Setanta or your payment provider.
- If no confirmation appears within 24 hours, contact [email protected] with a screenshot of your account.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling Setanta
You are not alone if you have tried to cancel and failed. Thousands of Malaysian subscribers have walked this path before you, and Yafee has identified the traps that catch most people.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the app instead of the browser
The Setanta mobile app does not always display a cancellation button, especially on Android. Users search for minutes, give up, and assume they have to call support. The truth is simpler: open a web browser, go to app.setantasports.com, and cancel there. The button is visible in every browser tested by Yafee.
Mistake 2: forgetting that app store subscriptions cancel through the store, not the app
If you subscribed via the iPhone App Store or Google Play, Setanta itself does not process your cancellation. You must cancel through Apple Settings or Google Play. Many users email Setanta support asking to cancel, and Setanta replies: "You subscribed through Apple/Google; you must cancel there." This delays the cancellation by days.
Mistake 3: expecting an immediate refund
Setanta does not issue refunds for the unused portion of your subscription unless you cancel within the cooling-off period (usually within 7-14 days of your first payment). If you have been subscribed for a month or longer, you have forfeited the right to a refund under Setanta's terms. Your only remedy is to stop future charges, which cancellation accomplishes.
Mistake 4: not saving proof of cancellation
If a charge appears after you cancelled, you will need evidence that you did cancel. Save the confirmation email from Setanta, Apple, or Google. Screenshot your account page showing the cancelled status. Store these files in a folder on your phone. If Setanta charges you again, you can present this evidence to your bank and to the MDTCA, and they will force a refund.
Mistake 5: cancelling too close to the renewal date
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, some payment systems still process the charge because the transaction was scheduled before your cancellation reached the payment processor. To be safe, cancel at least 48 hours before your renewal date. Yafee recommends you set a phone alarm for 2 days before your next billing date and cancel on that day.
Contact information and escalation path
If cancellation fails or charges appear after you have cancelled, here is where you go next. Yafee has compiled the official escalation route for Malaysian consumers.
Setanta support (first contact)
Email: [email protected]
Include your full name, email, account number (if visible), subscription plan, renewal date, and a clear statement that you request cancellation. Setanta aims to respond within 24-48 hours. If they do not reply within 72 hours, proceed to the next step.
Ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs (MDTCA) - official regulator
If Setanta ignores your cancellation request, charges you after cancellation, or refuses a legitimate refund claim, file a complaint with the MDTCA:
- Phone: 03-8000 8000
- Website: mdtca.gov.my
- Online complaint form: Available on the MDTCA website under "Consumer Complaints"
- Address: Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Aras 1-8, Blok D, Komplek Tun Hussein Onn, 50570 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The MDTCA enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can investigate Setanta's billing and cancellation practices. They have the power to order refunds and penalties if Setanta breaches consumer law.
Your bank or payment provider
If Setanta continues to charge you after cancellation, contact your bank immediately. File a dispute or chargeback claim for each unauthorized charge. Most Malaysian banks process chargeback claims within 30-60 days and will credit you if you provide evidence of cancellation (screenshots, emails, or the MDTCA complaint).

Final thoughts: cancel with confidence
Setanta cancellation is straightforward once you know the three paths (web, App Store, Google Play) and you follow the exact steps for your payment method. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel streaming subscriptions without confusion or unexpected charges, and the process works the same way every time.
The key takeaway: gather your account details first, cancel using the correct platform, save the confirmation, and check your account 24 hours later. If a charge appears after that, you have legal protection under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can escalate to the MDTCA.
