You can cancel any Foxtel service, but fees and return obligations depend on your setup:

• 📺 Traditional Foxtel TV (with iQ box):
  
  
  • Out of contract (month-to-month): Cancel anytime with no penalty, just pay for your final month.
    
    
  • In contract (12-month term): Cancel early = Early Termination Fee (ETF), pro-rated (up to $300 max).
    
    
  • Return equipment (iQ box + cables) to avoid hardware fees.
    
    
• 📱 Foxtel Now & Kayo (Streaming):
  
  
  • No lock-in—cancel anytime before your next billing cycle and pay nothing further.
    
    
• 📦 Bundled via Telstra/Optus: Must cancel through your provider. Their contract rules apply.
  
  

💡 Pro tip: Cancel before your billing date to avoid being charged for the next month.
