How do I change my payment type

Changing your payment type will depend on your original form of payment. 

Credit/debit card

You can update your payment information at theathletic.com/settings. 

PayPal and Google Play

If you would like to change your payment type, you will first need to cancel your current subscription by logging into your Paypal account and/or if you subscribed via Google Play following the instructions below:

• Open your Google Play app
• Choose Subscriptions from the menu
• Choose The Athletic from the list

Once your subscription period is over, you will be able to reactivate and continue with your subscription by heading over to theathletic.com and selecting a new payment type. 

Please note: you will still have full access to your account for the remainder of your billing cycle, regardless of when you cancel.
