How to cancel Spotify Premium
Cancelling Spotify Premium moves your account back to the free tier at the end of the paid period. Your playlists, saved music and followers stay exactly as they are.
Premium plans renew monthly. Duo, Family and Student plans renew the same way, and only the plan owner can cancel.

Frequently asked questions
Do I lose my playlists?
No. Playlists, saved albums and followers remain on your account when you move to the free tier.
What happens to downloaded music?
Offline downloads stop working once Premium ends, because they require an active subscription.
How do I stop a free trial before it charges?
Cancel before the trial end date shown in your account. You keep Premium until that date, and no payment is taken.
