Subscribed through the App Store or Google Play?

Then The New York Times can't cancel it for you: the store bills you, so you cancel there.

A cancellation email you can copy

If The New York Times's page won't let you cancel, send this to their support through their help page or chat:

Please cancel my The New York Times subscription on the account registered to this email address, with effect from the end of the current billing period, and confirm by email. Please do not renew or charge me again.

Thank you.

Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel The New York Times?

Usually not for the period you've already paid for: you keep access until it ends. Some services refund on request in the first few days; ask The New York Times's support if you were charged by mistake.

Does deleting the The New York Times app cancel it?

No. Deleting an app never cancels a subscription. Cancel on the account page, or in the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed there.

How do I stop The New York Times charging me again?

Cancel using the steps above, then check your next statement. If you paid with a card, the charge stops after cancelling; you don't need to cancel the card.
