Manage or Cancel Your WoW Subscription
Canceling your WoW subscription takes just a few minutes. Here's how to do it:
Visit the Battle.net website
Log in to your account
Go to Account Settings
Click "Games & Subscription" in the left panel
Find your WoW subscription
Look for the "Manage" button next to your active WoW subscription and click it. If you have multiple WoW accounts, make sure you select the correct one. Click "Cancel Subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Blizzard may offer you incentives to stay, but you can proceed with cancellation if you've made your decision.
After cancellation, you'll still have access to WoW until your current subscription period ends. Your characters and progress remain intact even after your subscription expires, so you can reactivate anytime.

What Happens After You Cancel?
After canceling your subscription, you retain full access to World of Warcraft until your current billing period ends. Your gameplay continues uninterrupted until the subscription officially expires.
Once your subscription ends, your account converts to a starter edition with limitations. You can't access characters above level 20, though all your progress and characters remain saved on Blizzard's servers indefinitely.
Your in-game mail stays intact for 30 days after subscription expiration. After this period, any unclaimed items are returned to the sender or potentially lost if the mail expires. Guild leadership automatically transfers to the next highest-ranking active member if you're the guild master and your subscription lapses for an extended period.
