How to cancel McAfee
To stop McAfee renewing, sign in at myaccount.mcafee.com, select Subscriptions, select Cancel next to the subscription, then Cancel Auto-Renewal. McAfee says to do this more than 30 days before your term ends to avoid being charged for the next renewal.
These steps come from McAfee's help page, Turn off auto-renewal for your McAfee subscription, checked November 10, 2026. McAfee calls canceling "turning off auto-renewal": your subscription runs to the end of its term and then doesn't renew.
Turn off auto-renewal
- Go to myaccount.mcafee.com.
- Sign in to your McAfee account.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Select Cancel next to the subscription you don't want to renew.
- Scroll down and select Cancel Auto-Renewal.
Mind the timing. McAfee says to turn off auto-renewal more than 30 days before your subscription term expires to avoid being charged for the next renewal. If your term ends in less than 30 days, turning it off now may not stop the next charge.
What happens after you turn it off
McAfee says your current paid subscription stays available until the end of its term, and it won't renew for another term. Some McAfee subscriptions include extra benefits while auto-renewal is on, and turning it off can end your eligibility for those.
If you've already been charged
If your subscription has already renewed and you want help with the charge or a refund, McAfee says to contact McAfee Customer Service. Use the contact link on McAfee's own support site rather than a phone number from a search result.
If someone else bills you
If you bought McAfee from a third party and McAfee doesn't bill you directly, McAfee says to manage auto-renewal with the company that bills you. For Apple and Google, our guide to canceling on iPhone and Android links to their official steps.
