How to cancel Foxtel Now in singapore: your complete step-by-step guide
What Foxtel Now is and whether cancellation suits you
Foxtel Now is a subscription streaming service that delivers live channels, on-demand movies, sport and television shows over the internet without requiring a fixed installation or long-term set-top box contract. You stream entertainment directly to your device-phone, tablet, laptop or smart television-and pay monthly for access.
The service appeals to Singapore viewers who want flexibility to watch premium entertainment, sports and drama on their own schedule. You can choose and combine bundles to match your viewing habits, and stream across multiple supported devices. However, Foxtel Now prices all subscriptions in Australian Dollars (AUD), and your card issuer or app store will convert this amount to Singapore Dollars (SGD) at their daily exchange rate. Consequently, your final bill may fluctuate slightly from month to month depending on currency movements.
Is Foxtel Now meeting your needs?
Foxtel Now suits you best if you want access to live sports, blockbuster films and exclusive television shows without committing to a lengthy contract. It appeals to cord-cutters who prefer streaming over traditional cable television. If you rarely watch live events, prefer ad-free content exclusively, or find the pricing after currency conversion too high, the service may no longer represent value for money. Before you cancel, evaluate your actual viewing habits honestly and review your monthly billing statements to confirm the true SGD cost.
Pricing and plan breakdown
Foxtel Now offers three primary subscription tiers, each priced in AUD and converted to SGD at your bank's exchange rate.
| Plan name |
Monthly cost (AUD) |
Approximate SGD |
What you receive |
| Starter Bundle |
AU$35 |
SGD$34-36 |
Drama, lifestyle, entertainment; 35+ live channels |
| Sports + Movies Bundle |
AU$84 |
SGD$81-84 |
Starter channels plus live sports (50+) and movies on demand |
| Ultimate Bundle |
AU$104 |
SGD$100-104 |
All content: drama, sports, movies, documentaries, kids; 50+ live channels |
All prices reflect official Australian Dollar amounts. Your bank or app store will apply their own conversion rate to SGD, so your actual charge will depend on the exchange rate on your billing date and the institution handling the transaction. Yafee recommends checking your latest billing statement to confirm the exact SGD amount you are being charged.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
Your legal position when cancelling Foxtel Now in Singapore is protected by the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which governs all subscription services supplied to Singapore consumers.
Under this framework, you have the statutory right to cancel any subscription service within 14 days of purchase, provided you have not yet exercised substantial rights to the service. Furthermore, if Foxtel Now materially breaches its service terms-for example, if the service is unavailable for extended periods-you may cancel outside the 14-day window and claim a refund of unused service charges. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) enforces these rights and will investigate complaints if Foxtel Now refuses to honour them.
Your statutory cooling-off period
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you first subscribe to Foxtel Now. During this window, you may cancel your subscription and request a full refund without penalty or justification. This period applies whether you subscribe via the Foxtel Now website, Apple App Store, Google Play Store or any other authorised channel. Yafee advises exercising this right immediately if you discover the service does not meet your expectations or if the SGD conversion is higher than anticipated.
Your rights beyond the cooling-off period
After 14 days, you retain the right to cancel your subscription at any time, subject to any notice period specified in Foxtel Now's terms and conditions. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, Foxtel Now cannot impose an unreasonable cancellation fee or lock you into an indefinite contract. If the company fails to honour your cancellation request or charges you after you have cancelled, you may lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg or by telephone on 6100 0315.
How to cancel Foxtel Now: step-by-step instructions
You can cancel your Foxtel Now subscription entirely through the online My Account portal, without contacting customer service by telephone or email.
Method 1: cancel via the Foxtel Now website
- Log in to your Foxtel Now account at foxtel.com.au using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.
- Navigate to "Account" or "My Account" in the top menu bar or user dashboard.
- This section displays your subscription plan, billing date and payment method.
- Scroll to the "Subscription" or "Plan Management" section and select the option to "Manage subscription" or "Edit plan".
- You may see options to pause, downgrade or cancel your plan.
- Click "Cancel subscription" or the equivalent button.
- Foxtel Now may display a cancellation reason form. Select the reason that best describes your choice (too expensive, poor picture quality, not enough content, etc.). This feedback helps the company improve.
- Read any retention offer carefully. Foxtel Now sometimes offers discounted rates to prevent cancellation; accept or decline as you choose.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or similar button.
- Foxtel Now will display a confirmation message and send a confirmation email to your registered address.
- Record the cancellation confirmation number and date shown on your screen. Save or print the confirmation email for your records.
- You will need this proof if you later dispute a charge or file a complaint with CASE.
Method 2: cancel via the apple app store or google play
If you subscribed to Foxtel Now through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), you must cancel through that platform, not through the Foxtel Now website.
- On iOS: Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Subscriptions", find "Foxtel Now", and tap "Cancel subscription".
- App Store will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a short-term discount to retain you. Review the offer and proceed with cancellation if you are certain.
- Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately.
- On Android: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select "Manage subscriptions", find "Foxtel Now", and tap "Cancel subscription".
- Google Play will confirm the cancellation date and send you a confirmation email.
- Retain a screenshot or email confirmation of your cancellation for your records.
- This proof protects you if the app store or Foxtel Now continues to charge you after your cancellation date.
Cancel by formal written notice (postal route)
If you encounter technical problems cancelling online or prefer a formal written record, you may send a cancellation letter by post to Foxtel Now's registered address. Although Foxtel Now emphasises online cancellation, a postal notice creates a dated, documented trail if disputes later arise.
- Write a clear letter stating your full name, email address, subscription account number (if known), the date you wish the cancellation to take effect, and a simple statement: "I wish to cancel my Foxtel Now subscription effective immediately."
- Keep the letter brief and factual. Do not include personal grievances or extensive reasoning; these may delay processing.
- Send the letter by registered post or courier to the Foxtel Now customer service address (detailed in the final section of this guide).
- Registered post provides proof of delivery and a date stamp, which protects your legal position if Foxtel Now claims it never received your notice.
- Retain your proof of postage receipt and any tracking number.
- If Foxtel Now continues to charge you after the date shown on your proof of postage, you have evidence that you submitted a valid cancellation notice within a reasonable timeframe.
- Allow 5-7 business days for Foxtel Now to process your postal cancellation and pause your billing.
- In practice, email or online cancellation is faster and more efficient than postal notice.
Timeline and when your cancellation takes effect
Your Foxtel Now cancellation does not necessarily take effect immediately upon submission.
If you cancel via the website, app store or postal notice, Foxtel Now typically processes your request within 24-48 hours. Your subscription will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle, not on the date you cancel. For example, if your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, you retain access until the end of that month (approximately the 14th or 15th), after which the service is deactivated and no further charges are applied. Yafee advises checking your email for a confirmation message that specifies your final access date and confirms that no further billing will occur.
Refunds and what you are entitled to recover
Your refund entitlement depends on whether you cancel within or outside the 14-day cooling-off period and whether Foxtel Now has provided you with the service.
Refunds within 14 days of subscription
If you cancel your Foxtel Now subscription within 14 days of your first payment, you are entitled to a full refund of all charges, regardless of how much content you have accessed. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act guarantees this right. You do not need to justify your cancellation or prove that the service was faulty. Submit your cancellation request online, and Yafee recommends following up by email ([email protected]) within the same day to confirm that you are exercising your statutory cooling-off right and request a refund by return.
Refunds after 14 days
After the 14-day period expires, you forfeit your automatic refund right for unused service charges. Nevertheless, if you cancel mid-month and your subscription would normally terminate on the 15th, Foxtel Now may credit a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of that final month. Whether this credit is applied depends on Foxtel Now's discretionary refund policy, which is not mandated by law. Contact Foxtel Now customer support at foxtel.com.au/support or by email to request clarification on your specific refund eligibility.
Refunds for service failures or material breach
If Foxtel Now fails to deliver the service-for example, if the streaming quality is persistently poor, content is unavailable, or the service crashes regularly-you may cancel and claim a refund of charges for the period during which the service was unavailable or faulty. In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, the company must provide you with a service of acceptable quality and fitness for purpose. If it does not, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and request a refund or compensation. Yafee recommends documenting all service issues (dates, times, screenshots) before you cancel, as this evidence strengthens your claim.
After you cancel: what happens next
Cancelling your Foxtel Now subscription is straightforward, but several practical steps will protect you and confirm that the service has genuinely stopped charging you.
Confirm your cancellation in writing
Within 24 hours of submitting your online cancellation, you should receive a confirmation email from Foxtel Now or the relevant app store (Apple or Google). This email will state your cancellation date, your final access date and confirmation that no further charges will apply. Download and save this email as a PDF, or take a screenshot and store it in a secure folder on your computer or cloud storage. This proof is essential if you later dispute a charge or need to escalate a complaint to CASE.
Monitor your bank or credit card statements
For the first two billing cycles after your cancellation, review your bank statement or credit card bill carefully. Confirm that Foxtel Now has not charged you after your final access date. If you see an unexpected charge, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback, citing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will pursue a refund from Foxtel Now on your behalf.
Delete the Foxtel Now app from your devices (optional)
Once you have confirmed the cancellation, you may uninstall the Foxtel Now app from your phone, tablet and television if you wish. This removes the temptation to re-subscribe accidentally and keeps your device storage uncluttered. Uninstalling the app does not affect your cancellation or your refund entitlement.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling a subscription should be simple, and most consumers complete the process without issue. Nevertheless, several common errors can create unnecessary complications or delay your refund.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through the App Store, not the Foxtel Now website. If you subscribed via Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play, not the Foxtel Now website. Attempting to cancel through the wrong platform may leave your app store subscription active, and you will continue to be charged even though you believe you have cancelled. Always check your subscription records in your app store account before concluding that your cancellation was successful.
Mistake 2: not keeping cancellation confirmation
Some users cancel online but fail to save the confirmation email or take a screenshot of the confirmation message. If Foxtel Now later disputes your cancellation or continues to charge you, you have no dated evidence to prove you submitted a valid cancellation request. This creates a "he said, she said" dispute that is harder to resolve. Always download and archive every confirmation email and screenshot you receive.
Mistake 3: assuming immediate cancellation means immediate access termination
When you cancel "immediately", this typically means your cancellation request is processed straight away, not that your service access ends instantly. Foxtel Now will deactivate your account at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th of a month but your billing cycle runs from the 15th of each month to the 14th of the next month, you retain access until the 14th. Do not assume you cannot use the service after cancelling; you can continue streaming until your subscription officially terminates.
Mistake 4: not following up on refund requests
If you cancel within 14 days and do not receive a refund within 5-7 working days, email Foxtel Now at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation number and request confirmation of your refund status. Do not assume the refund will arrive automatically; follow up proactively to avoid forfeiting your statutory cooling-off refund.
Comparing cancellation and retention options
Before you cancel, consider whether downgrading or pausing your subscription might better suit your needs and budget.

Frequently reported issues and how to resolve them
Several technical and administrative issues arise when users cancel Foxtel Now. Yafee has compiled the most common scenarios and their solutions.
Issue: cancellation button missing or non-functional on website
If you cannot find a cancellation option in My Account, try logging out and clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then logging in again. If the button remains missing, your subscription may have been purchased through a third-party platform (Apple, Google, or a reseller) rather than directly from Foxtel Now. In that case, you must cancel through the third-party platform instead. Check your original payment confirmation email to identify where you subscribed.
Issue: charged after cancellation
If Foxtel Now charges you after your stated cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback, citing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Simultaneously, email Foxtel Now at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation number and request an immediate refund of the unauthorised charge. If Foxtel Now does not refund within 7 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) at case.org.sg. CASE will investigate and compel Foxtel Now to refund you if the charge was wrongful.
Issue: cannot access account to cancel
If you have forgotten your password and the password reset email does not arrive, use the "Contact us" form on the Foxtel Now website to request manual account recovery. Provide your full name, email address and the payment method (credit card or app store) associated with your subscription. Foxtel Now customer service will verify your identity and reset your password, allowing you to log in and cancel. Yafee advises using the same email address you provided when subscribing, as Foxtel Now will only send password resets to the registered email on your account.
When cancellation may not be the best option
In some cases, cancelling Foxtel Now may result in missed content or better alternatives at similar cost. Before you submit your cancellation request, consider the following scenarios.
Live sports events during contract period
If you are subscribed to the Sports + Movies or Ultimate Bundle specifically to watch a particular sporting event (World Cup, tennis tournament, cricket series), check the event date before cancelling. If the event is within 2-4 weeks, you may prefer to retain the subscription until after the event, then cancel. Resubscribing later may incur setup delays or the loss of any promotional discount you currently enjoy.
No comparable alternative at lower cost
Before cancelling, compare Foxtel Now's all-inclusive pricing against subscriptions to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and other regional streaming services available in Singapore. If you watch diverse content (drama, sports, movies, documentaries), Foxtel Now's Ultimate Bundle may still represent better overall value than multiple standalone subscriptions, even after currency conversion. Calculate your monthly spend across all services before concluding that cancellation will save money.
Promotional pricing about to expire
If you are currently enjoying an introductory discount or promotional rate on Foxtel Now, check when this offer expires. Once the promotion ends, your regular monthly cost will increase. If this increase is the reason you want to cancel, contact Foxtel Now customer support and request a renewal or extension of the promotional rate. Retention teams are often authorised to extend discounts for loyal customers, and this is faster and less disruptive than cancelling and later resubscribing.

Cancelling Foxtel Now is a straightforward online process protected by Singapore law. You have 14 days from your first payment to cancel and claim a full refund without justification.
