SiriusXM Radio is one of the most popular premium satellite radio services on the market today. Used both in vehicles and online, SiriusXM offers listeners hundreds of channels in a wide range of genres, from Rock to Talk. Although SiriusXM comes pre-installed in a lot of new vehicles, some listeners choose to cancel Sirius to avoid fees.

If you want to modify your subscription or switch your account to a new vehicle, there's no need to cancel. Instead, you can log into your online account to modify your plan or upgrade to a new vehicle. If you wish to cancel an online streaming-only account, you can also do so by logging into your account online.

How to Cancel a SiriusXM Radio Subscription

Sometimes, listeners find that SiriusXM Radio no longer meets their needs, or they find another in-vehicle service provider. To cancel a SiriusXM Radio subscription, you'll need to contact customer service. There are three ways you can do this.

This is the only way to cancel a SiriusXM Radio subscription. This is for SiriusXM subscriptions pre-installed in new vehicles, as well as subscriptions purchased and connected to vehicles manually.
