What the STARZ free trial includes
The STARZ free trial gives you access to a premium cable channel turned streaming service focused on movies and series. It’s designed for drama lovers who want big-budget shows and blockbuster movies delivered through a channel experience on supported platforms. While the exact library rotates, the flavor stays consistent: glossy originals plus recognizable hits.
Originals and fan-favorite series
Expect long-running favorites and buzzy franchises. Content examples include Outlander, Power Book II: Ghost, and Heels. These titles make the STARZ free trial a good way to test whether the network’s signature character-driven dramas match your taste.
Rotating hit movies
STARZ’s movie catalog changes as licenses shift. Examples have included John Wick and Spider-Man: No Way Home. During your STARZ free trial, you can browse what’s currently available and plan a few movie nights before the lineup changes again. If a film disappears, it may return later as deals refresh.
Who the trial fits best
The STARZ free trial is best for viewers who like cable-style programming without a long-term commitment. If you enjoy serialized drama, franchise storytelling, and mixing in big-name films, this trial lets you experience that blend quickly on your preferred platform.
Choosing where to start your STARZ free trial
You can try STARZ through Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, or Roku Premium Subscriptions. Picking the platform you already watch the most keeps billing and playback simple. Your STARZ free trial, watch progress, and lists are tied to the platform account you use to start it. If you switch later, your lists usually won’t follow.
After your STARZ free trial, the subscription renews at $9.99/mo or $8.99/mo (varies by offer and platform). Keep an eye on any promo notes you see at sign-up. A valid credit card is required to start the trial.
Cancel or manage your plan
Manage or cancel where you started the STARZ free trial. Each platform keeps billing and playback inside its own app and account settings.

How to cancel STARZ free trial
Go to the subscription management page for the platform you used to start the STARZ free trial (links above). Cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged the monthly rate ($9.99/mo or $8.99/mo, depending on offer/platform). Because the STARZ free trial requires a credit card, billing begins automatically if you don’t cancel in time.
Length of STARZ free trial
The STARZ free trial is typically 7 days. Promo periods can vary and may run longer, often 7–30 days, depending on the platform and current offers. If your STARZ free trial shows a different length at checkout, that’s the one that applies.
Is there a STARZ free trial?
