STARZ Promo Code valid in November 2026

Unless a promotion sets its own terms, a STARZ subscription renews itself for a stretch the same length as the one you are already on, at whatever the price happens to be that day, and the terms of use say so in capitals. Prepaying a full year is the route the brand marks as its best deal on its own sign-up page, and the billing help adds the part people miss: someone already paying by the month can switch at any time, and the yearly charge is reduced by what is left of the monthly fees. Three more choices decide the rest of the bill, and this page works through them in that order: the offer you arrive with, the place you buy from, and what you do when you want a break.

STARZ offers in fall 2026

STARZ offers and plans read in fall 2026. Early in the season the plans page showed both plans under a Limited Time Offer heading: a discounted first stretch on the monthly plan and a discounted prepaid year on the annual plan, which still carried its Best Deal label. The home page and the plans page both pointed to that offer through Claim Special Offer buttons, and the originals row on the home page tagged S.W.A.T. Exiles and Fightland as new series and Outlander: Blood of my Blood as a new season. At the end of summer 2026 the same plans page had carried a lower introductory price on the monthly plan and the same prepaid annual price.

At the start of the season, the STARZ listings on this page were sale links with no code to copy, among them the plan offers and cards describing what comes with a subscription, such as original series, downloads, ad-free viewing and streaming on more than one device. The cards carry their own end dates. The billing help notes that STARZ sometimes runs promotional offers on annual billing, and the discounted prepaid year was the one on show in early fall 2026.

Month by month, or a year up front

Three questions settle what a subscription costs you over twelve months.

Which billing period are you on? The sign-up page presents two, a monthly plan and an annual one, and it is the annual plan that carries the Best Deal label. The terms of use are open about how far this can move: they state that pricing and offers vary and change over time without notice, and that individual plans may come with conditions or limitations disclosed during sign-up. The label tells you which plan the brand is pushing; the sign-up screen tells you what it costs today.

Are you already paying by the month? Then the switch is a documented route. The billing help says to sign in on the website, select the gear icon, choose Subscription, then Switch to Annual Billing, and confirm with your password. The same article states that the account is billed the annual price minus the remainder of any remaining monthly fees, so the stretch you have already covered is not thrown away in the move. The terms of use add that the conditions applying to a new plan are shown in account settings at the moment you select it.

Do you know when the next charge lands? The billing help says the next date appears in account settings under the wording Access Until, and it is blunt about the limit: STARZ does not provide a way to change your billing date. Since the terms renew a subscription automatically at the fee in force on that day, and for another period of the same length unless a promotion's own terms say otherwise, Access Until is the date to plan a stop around.

Claiming an offer, and what comes after it

STARZ publishes the conditions of its sign-up promotion on the same page that sells it. The terms attached to each plan's offer state that it is a limited time offer, available to new STARZ App subscribers who subscribe via starz.com, and that it does not include a free trial. The two plans part ways at the end of the offer: the monthly plan automatically rolls to month-to-month at the then-current price plus applicable taxes unless canceled, while the annual plan renews for further twelve-month terms at its regular yearly price, plus applicable taxes, unless canceled. On both plans the subscription fee is non-refundable.

Anyone coming back after a break will find two answers on the same page: in the terms of each plan the offer is open to new subscribers, while in the general note printed at the foot of the page it is open to new and previous STARZ App subscribers who re-subscribe via starz.com. On either plan the reduced price has a stated life, the standard price resumes on its own, and no reminder is promised anywhere in those terms, which is why Access Until deserves a calendar entry on the day you subscribe.

On trials the terms of use are deliberately non-committal. The service may be made available on a free trial basis for a limited time, STARZ and its distributors are under no obligation to offer one, and each keeps absolute discretion over the timing, availability and eligibility of it. The same section treats every other kind of promotion the same way, stating that the requirements for a promotional offer will be set out at the time it is presented. Whatever is running today sits among the offers listed above, each carrying the terms it was published with.

One last clause is easy to overlook, and it costs real money. If you take up a new or subsequent promotional offer after you have already subscribed, the terms state that no refunds or price adjustments will be applied to your subscription fee. A better deal appearing next month does not reach back into the one you are already paying.

Both plans discounted in the 2025 Black Friday Sale

By the weekend before Thanksgiving 2025, STARZ had put a Black Friday Sale heading on the plans page of its own site, with sale prices on both plans. In that 2025 sale the monthly plan cost $2.99 a month for the first three months instead of $10.99, a 73% saving, and the annual plan cost $11.99 paid up front for twelve months, the equivalent of $1 a month, against a regular $69.99 a year.

In the 2025 sale neither plan came with a free trial, and each renewed on its own terms unless canceled: the monthly plan moved to month-to-month billing at the then-current price once its three discounted months were up, while the annual plan, which returning subscribers could also claim, renewed for further twelve-month terms at $69.99 each. The sale also outlasted Thanksgiving weekend and Cyber Monday, with the Black Friday Sale heading still on the plans page in mid-December 2025.

Buying from STARZ, or from somebody else

The same subscription is sold in two different ways, and the terms of use give the second one a name: a distributor. Buy through a distributor and that company processes your payment and tells you how to sign in or create your STARZ account, and questions about the subscription go to it. STARZ states plainly that it is not responsible for a distributor's policies, that subscriptions can have differing conditions and limitations, and that cancellation has to be handled directly with the distributor under whatever agreement you have with it.

The price is the first thing to check, and on at least one route it does not move at all. The support article on subscribing through Amazon says the channel subscription costs the same as the STARZ streaming service and only works on devices where the Amazon Video app is available. What narrows is reach, and sometimes the app itself: STARZ writes that Roku Channels subscriptions do not have access to the STARZ app, and points anyone unsure of what they hold to the subscriptions page of their Roku account, where a direct subscription shows as STARZ and the other shows as a Roku Channel premium subscription.

For anyone hunting a deal, choosing the seller comes before choosing the offer. A promotion published on starz.com is a promotion on the direct subscription, and its own disclosure says so by naming people who subscribe via starz.com. If your account came from a television provider, a store or a channel add-on, the offer to look for is the one your seller is running, and the cancellation button is on their side too.

Pausing, canceling, and what you keep

The subscription section of the terms of use carries a lever that fits anyone who watches in bursts. STARZ states that you may pause your subscription by visiting Settings in your subscription account, that pausing temporarily suspends access without canceling the subscription, and that no charges will be incurred during the pause period. Streaming stops while the pause lasts, which is the trade, and the account itself survives it.

Canceling is the other door. The support article walks through it on the website, from account settings into Billing Plan and Information, then Cancel Subscription and a confirmation step, with an email arriving once it has gone through; in the app the route runs through Settings, then Account Management, then My Subscription. Access continues until the end of that billing cycle, which the terms confirm. What the terms also state is that STARZ does not provide credit, refunds or prorated billing for subscriptions that are canceled, unless applicable law requires it, though STARZ and its distributors keep the right to offer refunds, discounts or other consideration in select circumstances, at their sole discretion.

The clause that catches people concerns promotions. The billing help answers it in one line: any promotions on the account are lost if you cancel your subscription or it is otherwise rescinded. That sentence covers cancellation and a subscription that has been rescinded; pausing is covered in a separate section of the terms, in wording of its own. Anyone sitting on a discounted stretch should read both before deciding which of the two to use.
