USA Today offers national news coverage through digital access and home delivery. But with so many free and alternative news sources online, many readers eventually decide to end their subscription. Whether you’re cutting back expenses or just reading elsewhere, this guide will help you cancel your USA Today subscription the right way.
We’ll cover both digital and print subscriptions—and show how Unsubby can help you create a cancellation request to avoid ongoing charges.

Each has a slightly different cancellation process.
