How to cancel The New York Times

1. Log in and go to My Account, then Manage Your Account
2. Select Manage Subscription, then Cancel Your Subscription
3. Choose the online cancellation path if it appears — it runs about four steps
4. Select a reason, click through to continue, then decline the retention offer to reach the final confirmation
5. If online cancellation isn't offered on your account, chat and phone are available during limited hours

Before you cancel

All Access bundles include Games, Cooking, Wirecutter and The Athletic, so cancelling the news subscription ends those too. If you only want to drop the news portion and keep Games or Cooking, that has to be arranged through customer support rather than the standard cancel flow.

A discounted offer usually appears partway through the cancellation steps, and stopping there means you haven't actually cancelled. If you genuinely want to leave, keep clicking past it to the final confirmation screen. If you'd rather stay at a lower price, that same screen is where the cheaper rate shows up. Also watch introductory pricing — promotional rates roll over to full price on a set date, and that date is in the fine print of the offer you accepted.

Online cancellation exists but is gated behind a retention offer, and availability of the online path varies by account and region.
