How to cancel your Mubi Subscription?

Canceling a MUBI subscription depends on where and how you originally subscribed.

MUBI supports direct subscriptions through its website, as well as in-app subscriptions billed via Apple or Google. Because MUBI is available across many platforms web, mobile apps, Smart TVs, and streaming devices users often attempt to cancel from the app they watch on, which does not always work.

MUBI subscriptions renew automatically at the start of each billing cycle. Canceling your subscription stops future renewals but usually allows you to continue watching films until the end of your current billing period or free trial.

Understanding MUBI’s billing flow and data retention policies helps avoid accidental renewals or confusion about access dates.

This guide explains every MUBI cancellation scenario in detail, ensuring SIMKL users can manage niche and curated streaming subscriptions accurately and confidently.

What Happens When You Cancel MUBI?

When you cancel your MUBI subscription, your premium access typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. MUBI immediately disables auto-renewal, but it does not revoke access right away.

This allows you to continue watching films you have already paid for, including titles currently available in MUBI’s rotating catalog.

MUBI does not delete your account upon cancellation. Your watch history, ratings, and preferences are preserved, making it easy to restart your subscription later without losing your curated recommendations.

Refunds are generally not issued for unused days, and refund eligibility depends on your billing provider if you subscribed via an app store.

Key Outcomes After Cancellation

• Access continues until the billing period ends

• Automatic renewals stop immediately

• Watch history and preferences remain saved

• Refunds are rarely provided

• Reactivation restores your previous account
