How to Cancel the Los Angeles Times in 2026
The LA Times charges $1-4/week after the intro rate expires, then jumps to full price ($16/month+). Cancellation is phone-only with trained retention agents. Here's the script.
How to Cancel
- Call 1-213-283-2274
- Say "cancel my subscription"
- Verify your identity (name, address, account number)
- Decline retention offers — expect 2-3 rounds of discounted rates
- Get cancellation confirmation via email
💡 The script: "I appreciate the offer, but I've already found alternative news sources. Please process the cancellation today." Repeat as needed. Don't engage with counter-offers.
Online Cancellation (Limited)
Some digital-only subscriptions may be cancellable at myaccount.latimes.com → Account → Cancel. But most print + digital bundles still require a phone call.
