SiriusXM Free Trial: 3 Months Free, Who Qualifies, How to Cancel

Yes, SiriusXM has a free trial. On October 27, 2026, its free trial page offered 3 months free two ways: an in-car Platinum trial that needs no credit card and ends on its own, and an app-only trial that renews at $11.99 a month unless you cancel. Which one you get depends on whether you have a qualifying radio.

The two SiriusXM free trials

Platinum (car + app), 3 months free. The page says "No credit card required." It includes in-car listening plus streaming in the app, ad-free music, live NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA, NHL and NASCAR play-by-play, talk, comedy, news and podcasts. The offer details say it's "available only on qualifying inactive radios as determined solely by SiriusXM."

The key line for this trial: "Your trial subscription will stop at the end of the stated trial period unless you decide to purchase a new plan." In other words, it doesn't roll into a paid plan by itself.

All Access (App Only), 3 months free. This is for listening on your phone, speakers, TV and other smart devices, not a car radio. The offer details say "Credit card required" and that after the promotional term "your plan will AUTOMATICALLY RENEW every month," currently at $11.99 a month, "unless and until you cancel." It's available to "new and eligible returning subscribers."

How to check if your car qualifies

SiriusXM's eligibility page lets you check by personal information, license plate or Radio ID/VIN. If you have no radio, the same page points you to an app subscription instead.

The decision is SiriusXM's. Both trial offers say they "may be modified or terminated at any time" and can't be combined with other offers. By registering for the in-car trial, you also agree that SiriusXM may contact you with special offers, which you can manage in your online account.

What SiriusXM costs after the trial

SiriusXM's plans page listed these in-car offers on October 27, 2026. Each includes radio service plus the app:

• All Music: $1 for 3 months, then $11.99/month. Add-ons: Sports ($8 more/month), News ($5 more/month), Talk ($5 more/month).
• All Access: $1 for 3 months, then $25.99/month.
• SiriusXM Sports Pass: 1 month free, then $5/month.

The plans page listed All Access (App Only) at "$1 for 3 months then $11.99/mo," while the free trial page offered the same plan at 3 months for $0. Check the price on the screen where you enter your card.

The plans page offer details say paid plans "AUTOMATICALLY RENEW" at then-current rates, tax and fees may apply, and "There are no refunds except as provided in our Customer Agreement." Prices can change.

How to cancel a SiriusXM trial

SiriusXM's manage or cancel help page says the steps depend on who bills you. For trials and subscriptions started directly with SiriusXM (on siriusxm.com, by phone or by mail), you can:

• Go to the Subscriptions tab in the Online Account Center.
• Chat with an agent.
• Call 866-635-8641.

The offer details ask you to cancel "at least 24 hours prior to renewal," and say cancellation "is effective at the end of your current billing period."

If you started the trial in the SiriusXM app on an iPhone or Android device, you're billed by Apple or Google Play, and you cancel through them. SiriusXM warns that "Uninstalling the SiriusXM app will not cancel your subscription." Roku-billed subscriptions are canceled at my.roku.com, not in the app. If you're not sure who bills you, SiriusXM suggests checking your bank or credit card statement.

Bottom line

If your car has an inactive SiriusXM radio, the 3-month Platinum trial is the simpler option: no card, and it stops on its own. The app-only trial also runs 3 months, but it needs a card and renews at $11.99 a month, so cancel at least 24 hours before it ends if you don't want to pay.
