How to cancel The Athletic by mail

  1. Collect the details you need

    Check the email on the account, the delivery address for print copies and the subscription or reference number from your latest invoice before anything else. A request that does not match the account on file at The Athletic is the easiest one to set aside.

  2. Draft the request

    State plainly that you want the The Athletic account cancelled, further charges stopped and a written confirmation sent to you. Postbye sets this out in a ready English template (“Subject: Subscription termination – The Athletic”).

  3. Post it with proof of delivery

    Post it by certified mail to The Athletic in New York, United States, using the exact address below, and note the tracking number.

  4. Hold on to the receipt

    File the receipt with the letter. A The Athletic charge dated after delivery is the one to dispute, and these two documents are what you quote.

With Postbye, steps 2 to 4 take about two minutes of your time.

Cancelling a news or magazine subscription

Publishers often move you from an introductory price to the standard rate and can steer cancellations towards phone or chat, so a written request is the record that you asked.

A phone call leaves nothing behind; a letter leaves a copy, a date and a delivery receipt.

The Athletic lets you cancel directly (chat via NYT Customer Care). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.
