How to cancel your Chess.com subscription

Canceling a subscription stops all future payments. By following the steps below, you’ll prevent your membership from renewing. Your membership will stay active until the end of the current paid period, after which it won't renew. Once the paid period ends, your account will automatically switch to the free, basic plan.

If you've been charged and want a refund, check out this article: How can I get a refund for my Chess.com membership?
