General Information
Twitch Notice Period & Conditions
The cancellation policy for Twitch subscriptions depends on the type of subscription you have. If you have subscribed to a channel, you can cancel at any time, but the benefits will remain active until the end of the billing cycle. Twitch does not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods, so once you cancel, you will retain access until the next renewal date, but you won’t be charged again.
For Twitch Turbo, which provides an ad-free experience and other premium features, the cancellation works similarly. You can stop the renewal at any time, but the service will continue until the end of the current billing period. If you have subscribed through a third-party payment service such as Amazon Prime or Apple Subscriptions, different cancellation policies may apply, and you may need to go through the respective provider to cancel.
What Information Does Twitch Need?
When canceling your Twitch subscription, the platform requires specific details to process your request properly. These include your Twitch username, the name of the subscription you wish to cancel, the payment method associated with the subscription, and your registered email address. If you are canceling due to an issue or refund request, Twitch may also ask for additional details such as transaction history and proof of payment.
What Happens After I Cancel My Twitch Subscription?
Once you cancel a Twitch subscription, you will continue to receive the benefits of the subscription until the end of the billing cycle. Your access to subscriber-only perks, such as emotes, chat privileges, and exclusive content, will remain active until the subscription period expires. After the cancellation date, you will not be billed for the next cycle, and your subscription benefits will be revoked. If you wish to subscribe again in the future, you will need to manually resubscribe to the channel or service.
For users who cancel Twitch Turbo, the ad-free experience and extended storage for past broadcasts will remain available until the subscription officially ends. If your cancellation request was made due to a billing issue, Twitch may reach out for further details before finalizing the process.
Can I Also Contact Twitch Directly?
Twitch provides multiple ways to manage your subscriptions, but if you encounter issues or need further assistance, you can contact their customer support. The easiest way to reach Twitch is through their help center, where you can submit a request ticket with your cancellation details. Twitch also offers a chatbot and community forums where users can seek guidance from other members.
In some cases, if your subscription was made through a third-party payment provider like PayPal, Apple, or Amazon, you may need to contact that provider directly to cancel the automatic renewal. If you have been charged incorrectly or need a refund, Twitch’s support team may request additional verification before processing any adjustments to your account.
Can I Revoke My Subscription Cancellation?
If you have canceled your Twitch subscription but change your mind before the end of the billing cycle, you may be able to resubscribe without any disruption in benefits. Simply navigate to the channel’s subscription page and select the resubscribe option before your subscription period expires. If your subscription has already ended, you will need to manually start a new subscription and, in some cases, you may lose accumulated streak benefits for supporting a channel.
For Twitch Turbo users, reinstating a subscription after cancellation may require re-entering payment details, especially if a lapse in billing has occurred. If you canceled due to an issue with payment processing, you may need to resolve the payment method before subscribing again.
How Can I Check My Current Subscription?
To review your active subscriptions on Twitch, log into your account and go to the Subscriptions section under your profile settings. Here, you can view all your active channel subscriptions, Twitch Turbo, and any other recurring payments associated with your account. You will also see the renewal dates for each subscription and the option to cancel or modify them as needed.
If you have multiple payment methods linked to your account, checking your billing history in the payment settings can help ensure that there are no unwanted recurring charges. If you find a subscription you do not recognize, it is best to contact Twitch support immediately.
