How to cancel sportsnet+ in singapore and reclaim your streaming budget
Understanding sportsnet+ and why you might want to cancel
Sportsnet+ is a Canadian sports streaming service delivering live games, highlights and in-depth analysis from major leagues including the NHL, MLB and NBA directly to your device. If you subscribe from Singapore, you access an international streaming platform that bills exclusively in Canadian dollars (CAD) and operates through their web platform or partnered app stores.
Many Singapore subscribers appreciate Sportsnet+ for exclusive sports coverage, but international pricing, currency conversion fees and changing viewing habits frequently prompt cancellation. Understanding the cancellation process upfront protects your budget and prevents unexpected recurring charges. At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling a streaming service should be straightforward and empowering, not buried in complicated menus or confusing policies.
Why singaporeans cancel sportsnet+
Your reasons for cancelling are valid. International exchange rates add hidden costs to your monthly bill. Sports seasons end, live games you wanted to watch finish, or you discover other streaming services that better suit your needs. Some subscribers find the content library does not justify the recurring charge. Others cancel because they signed up during a promotional period that has now expired.
Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process step by step so you regain control of your subscription spending.

Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you cancel streaming subscriptions, even if the company claims otherwise in their terms of service.
What singapore law says about automatic renewals
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, companies must clearly disclose automatic renewal terms before you buy. This means subscription cost, frequency and cancellation method must be transparent at the point of purchase. If Sportsnet+ made auto-renewal terms unclear or difficult to locate, you may have grounds to dispute charges or request a refund, regardless of their stated policy.
Additionally, unfair contract terms that lock you in without a clear exit route can be challenged under Singapore consumer law. If you feel Sportsnet+ is being deliberately difficult about cancellation or refusing to explain their auto-renewal process, Yafee recommends documenting this behaviour and escalating to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) if needed.
Your right to cancel during a cooling-off period
Singapore law grants you a cooling-off period of 14 days from the date you purchase a distance contract (such as an online subscription). This means you can cancel Sportsnet+ within 14 days of your initial purchase and request a full refund, provided you have not yet consumed a substantial portion of the service. After 14 days, you retain the right to cancel, but the company may not be obligated to refund charges for the period already elapsed.
Your legal position: You have an unconditional right to cancel within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund. Beyond 14 days, you can still cancel at any time (unless you are locked into an annual contract), but refunds depend on Sportsnet+ terms and the specific circumstances of your complaint.
How to cancel sportsnet+ from singapore
Cancelling Sportsnet+ requires you to access your account settings and formally request cancellation through their official channels.
Step 1: log in to your sportsnet+ account
- Open your web browser and navigate to the Sportsnet+ website.
- Click the account or sign-in button (usually located in the top-right corner).
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete that verification step.
Step 2: navigate to account settings
- Once logged in, locate the account menu (often represented by a profile icon or gear symbol).
- Select "Account settings" or "Subscription settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Look for a section labelled "Billing", "Subscriptions" or "My plan".
Step 3: locate the cancellation option
- Within the billing or subscription section, find the option to manage or cancel your subscription.
- Click "Cancel subscription" or "Manage my plan".
- If cancellation is not immediately visible, scroll down or look for a "More options" menu.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation request
- Sportsnet+ will present you with a confirmation screen explaining the consequences of cancellation.
- Review the information to confirm your access will end and no further charges will be applied.
- Select "Confirm cancellation" or the equivalent button to finalise your request.
- The system will display a confirmation message and may send a confirmation email to your registered address.
Step 5: contact customer support if the online option is unavailable
- If you cannot locate the cancellation option online, contact Sportsnet+ customer care directly.
- Email [email protected] with the subject line "Request to cancel subscription".
- In your email, include your full name, registered email address, account number (if available) and the reason for cancellation.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation within your email.
- Sportsnet+ customer care should respond within 3 to 5 business days with a confirmation email.
Yafee advises keeping all confirmation emails and communication records in case you need to dispute a charge or verify your cancellation status later.
Understanding your cancellation timeline and final billing
Your access and billing cycle depend on when you initiated cancellation relative to your billing date.
How your final billing works
If you cancel Sportsnet+ mid-cycle, you retain access until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you pay monthly on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 20th, your subscription remains active until the 15th of the following month. No further charge will be applied after that date. If you cancel on your billing date or immediately before it, your access ends immediately and no charge is applied for the next period.
Annual subscribers should note that cancelling an annual plan may result in forfeiture of remaining subscription value unless Sportsnet+ offers a refund or prorated credit. Yafee recommends clarifying this with customer support before confirming your cancellation if you are mid-way through an annual commitment.
When does access end?
Your access terminates on the last day of your paid billing period. After that date, you cannot log in, watch content or access your saved preferences. Sportsnet+ will not reactivate your account without a new payment, regardless of when you cancelled.
Requesting a refund after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancelled and the reason for your request.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase and have not consumed a substantial portion of the service, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. To claim this refund, email Sportsnet+ at [email protected] with your account details and a clear statement that you are exercising your cooling-off right. Reference the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act in your email. Sportsnet+ must process your refund within 14 days of receiving your request.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
After 14 days, refunds are not automatically guaranteed. However, you may request a refund if you have grounds to believe Sportsnet+ engaged in unfair trading practices, such as:
- Failing to clearly disclose auto-renewal terms at purchase.
- Making it deliberately difficult to cancel.
- Charging your payment method after you cancelled.
- Misrepresenting the service or its availability in Singapore.
If any of these apply, submit a complaint to Sportsnet+ with supporting evidence (screenshots, email records, billing statements) and request a refund. If Sportsnet+ refuses, escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for mediation and investigation.
Disputing unauthorised charges
If Sportsnet+ continues to charge your payment method after you cancelled, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Request a chargeback or dispute transaction, providing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will investigate the dispute and may reverse the charge within 30 to 60 days. Yafee recommends also notifying CASE of the continued unauthorised charges.
What happens after you cancel sportsnet+
Cancellation is final, and several practical steps will help you avoid confusion or future charges.
Save any content or preferences before your access ends
Before your final billing date, export or save any watchlists, preferences or data you wish to keep. Once your access ends, you cannot recover this information. If you plan to resubscribe later, note the shows and leagues you want to follow.
Remove sportsnet+ from your connected devices
Log out of the Sportsnet+ app on all your devices (smartphone, tablet, smart TV, streaming device). This prevents accidental playback requests and clarifies which services you actively use.
Monitor your bank statements
Check your credit card or bank statement for 60 days after cancellation to ensure no further charges appear. If an unexpected charge occurs, report it to your bank immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Consider alternative streaming services
If you cancelled Sportsnet+ due to cost or content, research other streaming platforms available in Singapore that offer sports coverage. Many providers offer free trials, which allow you to test their service before committing to a paid subscription.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small oversights can lead to unexpected charges or confusion.
Mistake 1: assuming that logging out equals cancellation
Logging out of your Sportsnet+ account does not cancel your subscription. Your payment method remains linked, and automatic renewal will still occur. You must explicitly cancel through account settings or email customer support to stop recurring charges.
Mistake 2: missing the deadline for cooling-off refunds
Your 14-day cooling-off window starts from the date of purchase, not the date you first use the service. If you wait more than 14 days, you lose the automatic refund right. Mark your purchase date and plan your cancellation well in advance if you think you might want a refund.
Mistake 3: not keeping cancellation confirmation
Always save your cancellation confirmation email and take a screenshot of any on-screen confirmation message. If a dispute arises later, this proof protects you and strengthens any complaint to CASE or your bank.
Mistake 4: cancelling via email without a clear subject line or account details
When emailing [email protected], use a clear subject line such as "Request to cancel my subscription" and include your full registered email and account number. Vague emails may be delayed or misdirected, leaving you uncertain about whether Sportsnet+ received your request.
Mistake 5: ignoring currency conversion fees on your final bill
Your final charge will appear in CAD. Your bank may apply an exchange rate markup when converting to SGD. Verify the final amount and compare it to Sportsnet+ breakdown. If the markup seems excessive, contact your bank to understand their foreign exchange fees.

Escalation: how to file a complaint if sportsnet+ refuses to cancel
If Sportsnet+ does not respond to your cancellation request or refuses to cancel, you have legal recourse under Singapore consumer law.
Step 1: document all communication attempts
Compile every email you sent to Sportsnet+, any customer service responses (or lack thereof), screenshots of account pages, and copies of your billing statements. Create a timeline showing when you requested cancellation and when the company responded (or failed to respond).
Step 2: send a formal notice to sportsnet+
Email [email protected] with a formal letter stating your cancellation request, the date you originally requested it, and a deadline for Sportsnet+ to confirm the cancellation (typically 7 business days). Attach copies of all previous communication. Use the phrase "failure to comply may result in a complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore" to signal seriousness.
Step 3: escalate to the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Sportsnet+ does not respond or refuses to cancel within 7 days, file a complaint with CASE online at www.case.org.sg or call 6100 0315. CASE will investigate the complaint, contact Sportsnet+ on your behalf and attempt to mediate a resolution. CASE complaints are free and carry the weight of a statutory consumer protection authority.
Step 4: dispute the charges with your bank
Simultaneously, contact your bank or credit card issuer and dispute any charges that occur after your cancellation request. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the CASE complaint reference number. Your bank can reverse charges and investigate the transaction on your behalf.
