How to Cancel SonyLIV in 2026 - Web, iOS, and Android
Cancel your SonyLIV subscription on the website, iPhone, Android, or Amazon Fire Stick. Covers pricing, refund policy, UPI autopay, and streaming alternatives.
To cancel SonyLIV, log in to the SonyLIV website or app, go to My Purchases, tap Cancel, select a reason, and hit Submit. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you need to cancel through your phone's subscription settings instead - SonyLIV cannot process those cancellations directly. At ₹299/month or ₹999/year, SonyLIV is one of the pricier Indian streaming platforms. It carries a solid lineup of sports (UEFA Champions League, WWE), Sony originals, and international shows. But if you signed up for a specific tournament and the season is over, or you have caught up on the originals you wanted, paying monthly for content you are not watching is a waste. A common mistake people make: uninstalling the SonyLIV app does not cancel your subscription. You will keep getting charged until you formally cancel through the correct platform. If you subscribed via Amazon Fire Stick, you need to cancel through amazon.com memberships.

SonyLIV Plans and Pricing (2026)
| Billing | Price (India) | Price (US) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₹299/mo | - |
| Annual | ₹999/yr | - |
SonyLIV is India-focused, so all pricing is in INR. The annual plan at ₹999/year comes out to roughly ₹83/month - a significant saving over the ₹299 monthly rate. If you are on the monthly plan and still want to keep access, switching to annual saves you ₹2,589/year. SonyLIV occasionally offers discounted packs during major sporting events or festive seasons. The platform does not have a free tier with on-demand content, so cancelling means you lose access to everything except select live TV channels.

What Happens After You Cancel SonyLIV?
After cancelling, your SonyLIV Premium access continues until the end of your current pack or billing period. You can keep watching all premium content, including sports streams and originals, until that date passes. Once your subscription expires, you lose access to the premium library entirely. SonyLIV does not offer a meaningful free tier for on-demand content, though some live TV channels may remain accessible. Your watchlist and viewing history are preserved on your account. If you decide to resubscribe later, your preferences and history will still be there. Any downloaded content for offline viewing will stop working once your premium period ends.
SonyLIV in India - Key Notes
SonyLIV processes payments through multiple channels in India, and each has different cancellation requirements. If you set up auto-renewal through UPI, cancelling on the SonyLIV app or website does not automatically revoke the UPI autopay mandate. You need to open your bank or UPI app (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm) and manually revoke the SonyLIV mandate under UPI mandate management. For credit and debit cards, recurring payments typically stop when you cancel through the platform. SonyLIV also bundles with some telecom and DTH plans - if you got your subscription through a bundle, check with your provider to stop renewal. For any billing disputes, contact SonyLIV support through the app or website help section.
Alternatives to SonyLIV
For sports, JioCinema has IPL cricket streaming (free with ads or ₹29/month for Premium). Disney+ Hotstar covers some cricket and international sports starting at ₹149/month. If you watched SonyLIV mainly for WWE, note that WWE content availability may shift between platforms - check current rights before switching. For entertainment, Netflix (from ₹149/month), Amazon Prime Video (₹1,499/year), and ZEE5 (₹99/month) all have strong libraries of originals and shows. Amazon Prime Video is particularly good value since it includes delivery benefits. If you keep any of these subscriptions active, use RecurStop to track renewal dates and get alerts before charges hit your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does uninstalling the SonyLIV app cancel my subscription?
No. Uninstalling the SonyLIV app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. You will continue to be charged on your renewal date. You must formally cancel through the SonyLIV website, Apple Subscriptions, Google Play Subscriptions, or Amazon memberships depending on where you originally subscribed.
Can I get a refund from SonyLIV?
SonyLIV does not offer refunds for subscriptions. Once you purchase a pack, it runs until the end of the billing period with no partial refunds. If you subscribed through Google Play, you may be able to request a refund within 48 hours through Google. Apple refund requests can be made at reportaproblem.apple.com.
How do I cancel SonyLIV on Amazon Fire Stick?
If you subscribed to SonyLIV through Amazon Fire Stick, you cannot cancel from the SonyLIV app. Go to amazon.com, log in to your account, go to Your Account, then Memberships and Subscriptions. Find SonyLIV in the list and cancel from there. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
Will cancelling SonyLIV stop my UPI autopay?
Not always. Cancelling on the SonyLIV website or app may not revoke your UPI autopay mandate. Open your bank or UPI app (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm), go to UPI mandate management or autopay settings, find the SonyLIV mandate, and revoke it manually. This ensures no future charges go through even if the platform-side cancellation has a delay.
Is SonyLIV worth keeping for sports?
It depends on which sports you follow. SonyLIV carries UEFA Champions League, WWE, and some other international sports in India. If you only subscribed for one tournament, consider cancelling after it ends and resubscribing when the next season starts. Monthly billing gives you this flexibility without committing to a full year. Check which sports rights SonyLIV currently holds before your renewal date.
What is the difference between SonyLIV monthly and annual plans?
The monthly plan costs ₹299/month and renews every 30 days. The annual plan costs ₹999/year, which works out to about ₹83/month - a 72% saving over monthly billing. Both plans give identical access to all premium content, sports streams, and originals. The only difference is billing frequency and total cost.
