How to cancel Volleyball TV in the philippines and stop auto-renewal charges
Understanding Volleyball TV and why you may want to cancel
Volleyball TV is a subscription streaming platform operated by Volleyball World, the international governing body for professional and elite volleyball. If you subscribed from the Philippines, you pay in Philippine pesos (PHP) and gain access to live matches, on-demand replays, and exclusive international tournaments including the Italian League, World Championships, and the Volleyball Nations League (VNL).
The service operates on an auto-renewing subscription model, meaning your payment renews automatically on your billing anniversary unless you actively cancel before that date. This automatic renewal cycle is the primary source of unexpected charges for Philippine subscribers, and understanding your cancellation options before your renewal date arrives is essential.
Pricing structure for philippine subscribers
Yafee has reviewed the official Volleyball World subscription portal and confirmed the current pricing for users in the Philippines as of 2026.

Your subscription unlocks live international volleyball broadcasts, match replays, and premium tournaments. However, if your primary interest is local Philippine Volleyball Association (PVA) games, this service may represent poor value compared to other regional viewing options.
Common reasons filipino subscribers cancel
Philippine users frequently cite three main reasons for cancellation: limited availability of local PVA content, preference for free streaming alternatives, or simply forgetting they held an active subscription. If you no longer watch matches regularly or have found alternative viewing methods, cancelling before your next renewal prevents an unnecessary charge to your payment method.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
As a subscriber in the Philippines, you hold specific consumer protections that give you enforceable rights regarding subscriptions and automatic renewals.
Consumer act of the philippines protections
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) mandates that any subscription service-including Volleyball TV-must provide clear, transparent information about your billing date, renewal terms, and cancellation procedures. Volleyball World must make cancellation straightforward and obvious; if the process is deliberately hidden or unclear, this may constitute unfair trade practice under the Act.
Furthermore, the Consumer Act requires that you receive adequate notice before any charge occurs. If you cancel before your renewal date and Volleyball World still charges you, the Act grants you the explicit right to demand a refund and to file a formal complaint.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Volleyball TV subscription at any time. Once you cancel through the correct website method, Volleyball World cannot legally charge you again unless you voluntarily resubscribe. If you are charged after a valid cancellation, you may escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the official consumer protection authority in the Philippines, or dispute the charge directly with your bank or payment provider (GCash, Maya, credit card issuer). The DTI enforces the Consumer Act and has the power to fine companies and order refunds.
How to escalate if charges continue after cancellation
If you cancel Volleyball TV correctly, document the cancellation with a screenshot, and are charged again, take these steps in order:
- Contact your bank, GCash, Maya, or credit card issuer immediately and report the charge as a billing dispute or unauthorized transaction.
- Provide your cancellation screenshot and the date you cancelled.
- Request a chargeback or reversal.
- Email Volleyball World support at the address provided in your cancellation confirmation, attaching your cancellation screenshot, and request a full refund within 14 days.
- Keep copies of all correspondence.
- Note the date and time you sent each email.
- If Volleyball World does not refund you within 30 days, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) online portal or visit your nearest DTI office with your cancellation evidence.
- The DTI handles consumer complaints at no cost to you.
- Include copies of all emails, screenshots, and bank statements showing the charge.
Why Volleyball TV cancellations often fail for philippine users
Understanding the common pitfalls that lead to failed cancellations protects you from unwanted charges and the frustration that follows.
The mobile app trap
The single largest source of cancellation failure among Philippine subscribers is attempting to cancel inside the Volleyball TV mobile app. The cancellation option does not exist within the app-only on the official website. Many users believe they have successfully cancelled after searching the app menu, only to receive a charge weeks later because the cancellation never went through.
Yafee advises every subscriber to cancel exclusively through the website, not the app. This distinction is critical and explains why so many cancellations fail in the Philippines.
Missing the renewal date
Your second major risk is losing track of your billing cycle. If your renewal date passes before you cancel, Volleyball World will charge your payment method. Philippine credit card companies and digital wallets like GCash and Maya process these charges automatically, making them difficult to reverse after the fact.
Consequently, you must identify your exact renewal date before you attempt cancellation. This date appears in your subscription confirmation email and in your account settings on the website.
Failing to document the cancellation
The third critical mistake is not capturing proof that you cancelled. Without a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation or the confirmation email from Volleyball World, you have no evidence if a dispute arises. Your bank and the DTI both require documentation to process a chargeback or complaint.
Step-by-step cancellation process for philippine subscribers
This section walks you through every action required to cancel Volleyball TV before your next renewal date.
Step 1: locate your Volleyball world account and renewal date
- Visit the official Volleyball World subscription portal at subscribe.volleyballworld.com using your web browser (not the mobile app).
- Use the same email address you provided when you subscribed.
- If you do not remember your password, click "Forgot password" and check your email inbox for a reset link.
- Log in to your account.
- Your subscription dashboard will display your active plan and next renewal date.
- Write down your renewal date in a safe location (e.g., on your phone calendar or in a notes app).
- Take a screenshot of this screen showing your renewal date for your records.
Step 2: navigate to the cancellation page
- While logged into your account, locate the "Manage Subscription" or "Billing Settings" section.
- This is usually found in the account menu or under "Settings."
- Look for a link labeled "Cancel subscription," "Edit subscription," or "Manage plan."
- Click on the cancellation option.
- If no cancellation link is visible, check your subscription confirmation email for a direct cancellation link.
- If you cannot locate the cancellation page on the website, contact Volleyball World support via the email address provided in your account and request a cancellation link.
Step 3: confirm and submit your cancellation request
- On the cancellation page, Volleyball World will ask you to confirm your cancellation and may offer you a retention discount or survey.
- Do not accept any retention offer unless you genuinely intend to keep your subscription.
- If you wish to cancel, proceed without selecting a retention option.
- Click the "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" button.
- Some services may ask you to select a reason for cancellation (e.g., "Too expensive," "Not watching," "Found alternative"). Select any reason that applies.
- This step is optional and does not affect your cancellation; it helps Volleyball World gather feedback.
- Immediately capture a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- The confirmation must show the date and time, your cancellation status, and ideally your next step or final charge date.
- Save this screenshot to your phone or computer with a clear filename (e.g., "Volleyball_TV_Cancellation_2025_01_15").
Step 4: check for cancellation confirmation email
- Within 24 hours, check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation from Volleyball World.
- This email should confirm that your subscription has been cancelled as of your request date.
- The email will specify whether you remain eligible to watch until your renewal date or if access ends immediately.
- Download and save this email as a PDF or take a screenshot of it.
- This email is your primary proof of cancellation and is essential if you need to dispute a charge later.
- Do not delete this email.
What happens after you cancel Volleyball TV
Once you submit your cancellation, understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from confusion and unexpected charges.
Your access timeline after cancellation
When you cancel Volleyball TV, your access to the service does not end immediately in most cases. Typically, Volleyball World allows you to continue watching until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your renewal date is 15 February 2025 and you cancel on 1 February 2025, you retain access until 15 February 2025.
On your renewal date, your access will stop and no charge will occur, provided your cancellation was successfully processed. If your cancellation was not processed correctly (for example, because you cancelled in the app rather than on the website), Volleyball World will charge your payment method on your renewal date as normal.
Monitoring your payment method after cancellation
Even after you cancel and receive a confirmation email, monitor your bank account, credit card statement, or digital wallet (GCash, Maya) closely for the next 10 days after your supposed renewal date.
In the rare event that Volleyball World charges you despite your cancellation, you will have 30 to 60 days (depending on your bank's dispute policy) to file a chargeback with your payment provider. Having your cancellation screenshot and confirmation email on hand will make this process much faster.
Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for two days before your renewal date to verify that you have no pending charges.
Requesting a refund if you are charged after cancelling
If you cancelled Volleyball TV before your renewal date, documented the cancellation, and are still charged, you have multiple refund options under Philippine law.
Direct refund request to Volleyball world
- Send an email to Volleyball World support (check your cancellation confirmation email for the support address; if not provided, contact [email protected] or use the contact form on volleyballworld.com).
- Subject line: "Refund Request - Unauthorized Charge After Subscription Cancellation"
- Include the following in your email:
- Your account email address and full name.
- The date you cancelled and a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation.
- The date you were charged after cancellation and the amount (₱299 or ₱1,188).
- Your request for a full refund.
- Send the email from the same email address as your Volleyball World account.
- Keep a copy of the email you sent and note the date and time you sent it.
- Expect a response within 5 to 10 business days.
- If Volleyball World refunds you, ask for written confirmation and keep it as proof.
- If Volleyball World does not respond or refuses the refund, proceed to the bank chargeback process.
Bank chargeback and dispute process
- Contact your bank, credit card company, or digital wallet provider (GCash, Maya) by phone or through their mobile app and report the charge as unauthorized or disputed.
- Provide your cancellation screenshot and confirmation email as evidence.
- State that you cancelled before the charge date and should not have been billed.
- Your bank will open a dispute and request additional information from you.
- Respond promptly to any requests and provide all documentation.
- The process typically takes 10 to 30 days.
- If your bank rules in your favor, the charge will be reversed and the funds returned to your account.
Filing a complaint with the department of trade and industry
If you are unable to reach Volleyball World or your bank refuses to dispute the charge, file a formal complaint with the DTI, the official consumer protection agency in the Philippines.
- Visit the DTI website at dti.gov.ph and navigate to the online complaint portal, or visit your nearest DTI office in person.
- You may also call the DTI hotline for guidance on filing a complaint in your region.
- File a complaint detailing:
- The unauthorized charge after cancellation.
- Dates of your cancellation and the unwanted charge.
- All screenshots and emails as attachments.
- Your request for a refund.
- The DTI will investigate and may order Volleyball World to refund you and pay a fine for the violation of the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
- DTI complaints are handled at no cost to you.
- Investigations typically take 30 to 90 days.
Key mistakes to avoid when cancelling Volleyball TV
Most cancellation failures in the Philippines are entirely preventable if you know what pitfalls to sidestep.
Never cancel within the mobile app
The mobile app does not offer a working cancellation function. Any attempt to cancel inside the app will fail silently, leaving your subscription active. You must cancel on the website at subscribe.volleyballworld.com to ensure your request is processed.
Do not wait until your renewal date
Cancelling on your renewal date is risky because payment systems process charges at different times throughout the day. If Volleyball World charges your account before you cancel, you will be billed for another cycle. Cancel at least three to five days before your renewal date to ensure the cancellation processes before any charge occurs.
Never discard your cancellation confirmation
Yafee strongly recommends keeping your cancellation screenshot and confirmation email for a minimum of 90 days after your supposed renewal date. If a dispute arises, this documentation is your only proof. Many Philippine users delete confirmation emails prematurely, then face difficulty reversing a charge because they cannot prove they cancelled.
Do not ignore charges after cancellation
If you spot a charge on your statement after you cancelled, act immediately. Bank dispute windows (chargebacks) are typically 30 to 60 days. If you wait longer, you may lose the right to dispute the charge, and reversing it becomes much more difficult.
Do not believe app notifications that claim cancellation succeeded
Some users see a pop-up or notification inside the Volleyball TV app after attempting to cancel and believe the cancellation is complete. These notifications are often generic messages and do not confirm that your cancellation was actually processed. Verify cancellation only by logging into your account on the website and confirming that your subscription is no longer listed as active.

Why you should act today: the cost of delay
Every day you delay cancellation increases the risk that your renewal date will pass unnoticed, triggering an automatic charge. Philippine banks and payment providers process charges within seconds, making reversal difficult after the fact. In contrast, cancelling now-before your renewal date-takes fewer than 10 minutes and is 100 percent certain to prevent future charges.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel streaming services and recover unauthorized charges by acting quickly and documenting every step. Your cancellation is your right under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, and Volleyball World has no legal basis to charge you once you have submitted a valid cancellation request.
Go to subscribe.volleyballworld.com now, log in, find your renewal date, and complete the cancellation process on the website (not the app). Take a screenshot of the confirmation, wait for the email, and save both. If any charge occurs, you will have the proof you need to dispute it with your bank or escalate to the DTI.
The Department of Trade and Industry stands behind your consumer rights, and Yafee is committed to explaining those rights clearly so you can cancel with confidence and never pay for a service you do not use.
