How to cancel Fite in the philippines and protect yourself from auto-renewal charges
What is Fite and why cancellation matters in the philippines
Fite is a live and on-demand streaming platform specializing in combat sports, wrestling, and entertainment events. If you subscribe in the Philippines, you are likely paying a monthly or annual fee for Fite Plus, which grants access to live broadcasts, archived content, and exclusive matches. However, many premium events still require separate pay-per-view purchases on top of your subscription cost.
The critical issue: Fite operates under an auto-renewal agreement. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you actively cancel it before your renewal date. This legal structure exists across most subscription services worldwide, but consumer protection law in the Philippines-specifically the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394)-requires companies to make cancellation straightforward and transparent.
Consequently, if you have not cancelled and your billing date approaches, you will be charged again. Many Philippine subscribers report surprise charges because they did not understand where to cancel or did not realize their trial period had converted to a paid subscription. Yafee has compiled this guide to help you navigate the cancellation process with confidence and legal clarity.
How Fite subscriptions work in practice
When you sign up for Fite, you enter a binding contract with automatic renewal terms. You may have subscribed directly through fite.com, via the Apple App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or through a mobile carrier bundle. The platform where you subscribed determines where you must cancel-cancelling in one place does not automatically cancel your account elsewhere. This fragmentation is a common pain point for subscribers across Southeast Asia.
Your Fite Plus subscription typically costs between PHP 199 to PHP 299 per month, depending on promotions and your billing region. This covers unlimited streaming, but does not include premium fight passes or pay-per-view events, which are marketed and sold separately at checkout.
Why understanding cancellation timing protects your wallet
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you have the right to cancel at any time without penalty. However, the law also permits businesses to enforce non-refundable policies for processed charges. This means if your renewal date is 3 days away and you cancel tomorrow, you will still be charged for the next billing cycle. Timing your cancellation to occur before your renewal date-typically 7 to 10 days in advance-ensures you avoid unexpected charges and comply with the service's terms.
Yafee advises all subscribers to check their billing date immediately, then schedule cancellation accordingly.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
Philippine consumer protection law grants you enforceable rights when cancelling subscription services.
What the consumer act of the philippines says about auto-renewal
Republic Act No. 7394, the Consumer Act of the Philippines, establishes that consumers must receive clear disclosure of material terms before entering any contract, including subscription agreements. The law also mandates that businesses must honor cancellation requests in a timely manner and must not impose hidden barriers to cancellation. In practice, this means Fite must provide a straightforward cancellation mechanism-ideally through the same channel where you subscribed.
Furthermore, the law protects you from deceptive auto-renewal practices. If Fite converts a free trial to a paid subscription without explicit consent, or if the cancellation process is deliberately obscured, you may have grounds to dispute charges with your bank or escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Philippine government body responsible for consumer protection.
Your legal position as a Fite subscriber in the philippines
You have the right to:
- Cancel your Fite subscription at any time without penalty, as stated in Fite's own terms and reinforced by Philippine consumer law
- Receive confirmation of your cancellation in writing (by email)
- Dispute any charges that occur after you have submitted a valid cancellation request
- Request a refund of charges incurred after your cancellation was processed, if Fite continued to bill you in error
- Escalate complaints to the DTI if Fite refuses to cancel or continues charging after you have cancelled
Fite is entitled to:
- Collect payment for the current billing cycle if charges have already posted before your cancellation was received and processed
- Enforce a no-refund policy for past charges, provided this was disclosed in their terms at the time of purchase
- Require you to cancel through the same platform where you subscribed (e.g., the Apple App Store if you subscribed via iOS)
Where and how to cancel Fite step by step
The exact cancellation process depends on which platform hosts your subscription account.
Cancel Fite if you subscribed directly on fite.com
Follow this procedure if you signed up using your email address and payment card directly on the Fite website.
- Open fite.com in your web browser and log into your account using your registered email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings by clicking your profile icon or avatar (typically located in the top-right corner of the screen).
- Select "Manage Subscription," "Billing," or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Locate the "Subscription" or "Billing Information" section and click "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Plan."
- Fite will display a confirmation page asking you to confirm cancellation. You may also see a retention offer (a discounted rate or free month). Read this carefully-if you do not wish to accept the offer, proceed to confirm cancellation.
- Complete the cancellation by clicking "Confirm Cancellation" or a similar button. Do not refresh the page or navigate away until you see a final confirmation message.
- Wait for a cancellation confirmation email from Fite within 24 hours. Save this email as proof of cancellation.
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, log back into your account and verify that your subscription status now reads "Cancelled" or "Inactive." If your subscription still appears active, repeat the process or contact Fite support (see contact details below).
Cancel Fite if you subscribed via the apple app store
If you subscribed to Fite Plus through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac device using Apple's in-app subscription system, you must cancel through Apple, not through Fite's website.
- Open the App Store app on your Apple device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account."
- Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Find "Fite" in the list of active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" (or "Edit Subscription" if you wish to downgrade instead).
- Apple will ask you to confirm cancellation and may display a retention offer from Fite. Select your choice and complete the process.
- You will see a confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled. Apple will also send you a cancellation email confirming the change.
Your Fite access will remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your subscription will no longer renew. Make a note of your renewal date before cancelling so you know when your access expires.
Cancel Fite if you subscribed via google play
If you subscribed on an Android device using Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play, not directly through Fite.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device (or visit play.google.com on a web browser).
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Manage your Google Account."
- Go to the "Payments and subscriptions" or "Subscriptions" tab.
- Select "Manage subscriptions."
- Find "Fite" in your list of active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription."
- Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation. You may see a retention message from Fite; ignore this and proceed with your cancellation.
- Google will send you a cancellation confirmation email and your subscription will no longer renew after your current billing cycle ends.
Importantly, cancelling through Google Play does not delete your Fite account-it only stops the subscription from renewing. You can reactivate your subscription at any time by returning to Google Play and selecting "Resubscribe."
Cancel Fite if you subscribed through a mobile carrier or bundled service
If Fite is bundled with your PLDT, Globe, or other Philippine mobile carrier plan, you must contact your carrier's customer service to request removal of the Fite add-on. Contact details for the major carriers are as follows:
- PLDT: Call 171 from a PLDT landline or mobile, or email [email protected] with your account number and cancellation request.
- Globe: Call 888 from a Globe device, or visit your nearest Globe store with your identification and account information.
- Smart Communications: Call 211 from a Smart device or visit a Smart store to request removal of the Fite add-on.
When you contact your carrier, clearly state: "I want to cancel the Fite subscription add-on from my account." Provide your account number and request a confirmation email. Note that your carrier may attempt to retain you with alternative offers-politely decline and restate your cancellation request. Yafee recommends sending a follow-up email within 48 hours confirming your verbal cancellation request, so you have written documentation.
What happens after you cancel Fite
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you verify that cancellation has taken effect.
Your access during the cancellation grace period
After you submit your cancellation request, your Fite account remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your next renewal date is 15 May and you cancel on 10 May, you can continue to stream Fite content until 14 May at 11:59 PM. On 15 May, your access will be revoked unless you reactivate your subscription.
Consequently, you should cancel only when you are certain you will not wish to use Fite before that renewal date. If you cancel in haste and decide you want to reactivate early, you may need to contact Fite support to reinstate your subscription-a process that may not always be possible if your account has already been marked for closure.
Checking your cancellation status
Log back into your Fite account 24 to 48 hours after submitting your cancellation. Your subscription status should now display as "Cancelled," "Inactive," or "Will not renew." If your status still shows "Active" or "Renewing," your cancellation may not have processed. In this case, repeat the cancellation steps or contact Fite support immediately using the contact information provided in the final section of this guide.
Yafee advises keeping your cancellation confirmation email accessible until at least 30 days after your final billing date, in case you need to dispute any unexpected charges with your bank.
Refunds and billing after cancellation
Understanding Fite's refund policy protects you from unexpected charges and clarifies your recourse if Fite continues to bill you in error.
When you are eligible for a refund
Fite's stated policy is that all processed payments are non-refundable. This means if your billing date has passed and your payment has posted to your credit card or bank account, Fite will not refund the charge, even if you cancel the same day. However, Philippine consumer law permits you to dispute charges if they occur after a valid cancellation request has been processed. In practice, Fite should stop charging you within 1 to 2 billing cycles after your cancellation is received.
You are eligible for a refund in the following scenarios:
- You cancelled before your renewal date, but Fite continued to charge you after your cancellation was processed (billing error).
- You cancelled during a free trial period and Fite still converted your trial to a paid subscription without clear consent (deceptive practice).
- You were charged for a subscription you did not authorize (unauthorized transaction).
In all of these scenarios, contact Fite support with your cancellation confirmation email and request a refund. If Fite refuses, you may escalate to your bank's dispute resolution department or file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Disputing unauthorized or erroneous charges
If Fite charges your card after you have cancelled, take these steps immediately:
- Log into your Fite account and take screenshots of your subscription status (showing "Cancelled" or "Inactive").
- Locate and save your cancellation confirmation email from Fite or your payment platform (Apple, Google Play, etc.).
- Contact Fite support (see final section) with these documents attached. State: "I cancelled my subscription on [date]. I received confirmation on [date]. However, I was charged on [date]. Please refund this charge and confirm that my account will not be charged again."
- Allow Fite 7 business days to respond. If they do not refund the charge or do not respond, contact your bank's dispute resolution team or credit card issuer.
- File a chargeback or dispute claim with your bank, providing your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots of your Fite account status.
- If the dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction, file a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Assistance and Protection Office (CAPO) at (02) 8751-7500 or online at capo.dti.gov.ph.
Nevertheless, the fastest resolution usually occurs when you contact Fite support first with documentation. Many companies prefer to issue a small refund rather than escalate to a bank dispute or regulatory complaint.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Fite
You are not alone if you have struggled with cancellation-thousands of Philippine subscribers face the same obstacles, but awareness of these pitfalls protects you.
Mistake 1: cancelling on the wrong platform
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, cancelling on fite.com will not work-your subscription will continue to renew. Conversely, if you subscribed directly on fite.com, cancelling through Google Play will not affect your web subscription. Yafee emphasizes: Always cancel on the platform where you subscribed. If you are unsure, log into your account on each platform and check your subscription status. Only one platform will show your active subscription; cancel there.
Mistake 2: assuming your cancellation worked without confirmation
Many users click "Cancel" and assume the process is complete. However, you must receive a confirmation email from Fite, Apple, Google, or your carrier within 24 hours. If you do not receive confirmation, log back in and verify your subscription status manually. Yafee advises treating the absence of a confirmation email as a failed cancellation and repeating the process.
Mistake 3: cancelling after your billing date
If your renewal date is 10 May and you cancel on 11 May, you will almost certainly be charged for the next billing cycle (usually 1 June). Philippine consumer law does not require refunds for charges that have already posted. Always cancel at least 3 to 7 days before your renewal date. To find your renewal date, log into your account, navigate to "Subscription" or "Billing," and note the next billing date clearly.
Mistake 4: ignoring retention offers
After you request cancellation, Fite or your payment platform may display a discount offer (e.g., 50% off for 3 months) or a free month. These are retention tactics designed to keep you subscribed. If you are certain you want to cancel, ignore the offer and complete the cancellation. Accepting the offer will restart your subscription and delay your cancellation by another billing cycle.
Mistake 5: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If a dispute arises with your bank or with Fite, you will need proof that you cancelled on a specific date. Always screenshot or forward your cancellation confirmation email to yourself and store it securely. Yafee recommends saving it in an email folder dedicated to financial records for at least 6 months.

When to keep your Fite subscription versus cancel
Before you cancel, consider whether your usage and budget align with Fite's value proposition.
Reasons to keep your Fite subscription
- You watch live combat sports, wrestling, or entertainment events at least 2 to 3 times per month.
- The monthly cost (PHP 199-299) is less than 5% of your monthly discretionary entertainment budget.
- You have specific upcoming events on Fite's schedule that you plan to watch.
- You use Fite through an annual subscription at a discounted rate (roughly PHP 167 per month if paid yearly).
Reasons to cancel your Fite subscription
- You have not watched Fite content in the past 30 days and do not have plans to within the next 60 days.
- You feel forced to pay additional pay-per-view fees on top of your monthly subscription for major events.
- The monthly cost exceeds your entertainment budget, or you prefer to pay only when you watch specific events (pay-per-view model).
- You have access to the same events through another platform (cable, alternative streaming service) at no additional cost.
- You subscribed during a promotional offer or free trial and the full subscription price is higher than you expected.
If Fite does not respond to your cancellation request or continues to charge you after cancellation, use these official contact channels.
Contact Fite directly
Yafee recommends starting with Fite's official support channels:
- Email: [email protected] or [email protected] (response time typically 24-72 hours)
- Website help center: fite.tv/help or fite.tv/support (contains FAQs and troubleshooting guides)
- Social media: Fite's official Facebook page (@officialfite) or Twitter/X (@FiteTV) for public escalation
Escalate to the department of trade and industry (DTI)
If Fite does not resolve your complaint within 14 days, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Assistance and Protection Office (DTI-CAPO):

- Email: [email protected]
- Online portal: capo.dti.gov.ph (file complaints 24/7)

The DTI will mediate your complaint for free and has authority to compel Fite to refund charges or comply with cancellation requests. Attach your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your account status, and copies of any unauthorized charges to your DTI complaint.
Dispute charges with your bank
If Fite continues to charge you after cancellation and does not respond to support requests, contact your bank directly:
- Credit card: Call the number on the back of your card and request a chargeback or dispute for the unauthorized Fite charges.
- Debit card or bank account: Visit your bank's branch or call their customer service to file a dispute claim.
- Online banking: Most Philippine banks (BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Unionbank) have a "Dispute Transaction" option in their mobile app or online portal.
Your bank will typically refund disputed charges within 15 to 30 days while they investigate. Fite will be contacted and must respond within a set timeframe.
