What an Epoch Times subscription includes

An Epoch Times subscription gives you access to their news content across print, digital, and mobile platforms. The subscription model varies by region — in the United States, you can choose between a digital-only subscription (online and mobile app access) or a print subscription (the physical newspaper delivered to your home). Some regions offer combined print-and-digital packages.

Digital subscribers can read articles on the Epoch Times website and use their mobile app on phones and tablets. Print subscribers receive the newspaper on a regular schedule — typically weekly or multiple times per week depending on your location and subscription tier. The publication covers news, opinion, culture, and lifestyle topics from a perspective the outlet describes as independent and uncensored.

Key Takeaways

  • Epoch Times offers digital-only, print-only, and combined subscription options that vary by region and pricing tier.
  • Digital subscriptions let you read on their website and mobile app; print subscriptions deliver the physical newspaper to your address.
  • You can manage your subscription, pause delivery, or make changes through your online account dashboard.
  • Subscription costs and renewal terms differ based on the length of your commitment and your location.
  • Cancellation is handled through your account settings or by contacting their customer service team directly.

How to start a digital subscription

To begin a digital subscription, visit the Epoch Times website and look for the subscription or sign-up section. You will create an account with your email address and password, then choose your subscription plan — typically options include monthly, annual, or multi-year terms. Each option has a different price point, with longer commitments usually offering a lower per-month cost.

After selecting your plan, you will enter payment information. Epoch Times accepts major credit cards and may offer other payment methods depending on your region. Once your payment processes, your account becomes active when ready, and you can log in to read content on the website and read the mobile app to your device.

How to start a print subscription

Print subscriptions begin through the Epoch Times website or by phone. On their website, select the print subscription option and enter your delivery address. You will choose your subscription length and frequency — for example, weekly delivery or multiple deliveries per week — and then provide payment information.

After your order is confirmed, the newspaper will begin arriving on the schedule you selected. Delivery typically starts within one to two weeks, though this varies by location and current processing volume. You can track your subscription status and make changes to your delivery address or frequency through your online account.

Managing your subscription and making changes

Log into your Epoch Times account to view your subscription details, including your renewal date, plan type, and payment method on file. From your account dashboard, you can update your payment information, change your subscription plan (for example, switching from monthly to annual), or modify your delivery address if you have a print subscription.

If you want to pause your print delivery temporarily — for example, while you are traveling — you can usually do this through your account settings for a limited period. To make changes, look for account settings, subscription management, or a similar menu option on the website after you log in. If you cannot find what you need, contact their customer service team for help.

How subscription renewal works

Your subscription renews automatically on the date specified in your account. For example, if you purchased a one-month subscription on the 15th, it will renew on the 15th of the following month. The payment method you provided at sign-up will be charged automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date.

You will typically receive a reminder email a few days before your renewal date. Check this email to confirm the amount and date. If your payment method has expired or failed, Epoch Times will usually send you a notice asking you to update it. Renewal terms are the same as your original subscription — a monthly plan renews monthly, an annual plan renews annually, and so on.

Canceling your subscription

To cancel, log into your account and look for a cancellation or subscription management option. Most subscription services allow you to cancel directly through your account settings without contacting customer service. When you cancel, your access ends on your next renewal date — you do not lose access when ready, and you are not charged again.

If you cannot find a cancellation option online, contact Epoch Times customer service by phone or email. Have your account email address and subscription details ready. Some regions or subscription types may have different cancellation procedures, so if you run into trouble, their support team can walk you through the process for your specific subscription.

Troubleshooting common subscription issues

If you cannot log into your account, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset your password. You will receive an email with instructions to create a new one. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or contact customer service.

If your payment was declined, your account will show a past-due status. Update your payment method in your account settings as soon as possible to avoid service interruption. For print subscribers, if your newspaper stops arriving, check your account to confirm your delivery address is correct and your subscription is active. If everything looks right, contact customer service — delivery issues can sometimes be resolved quickly once they are reported.

If you were charged but do not see access to your subscription, wait a few minutes and refresh your browser or app, as the system can take a moment to process. If access still does not appear, contact customer service with your order confirmation number or receipt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch from a monthly subscription to an annual one?

Yes. Log into your account and look for plan change or upgrade options. You can usually switch to a longer commitment at any time. The system will calculate any credit from your current plan and explore it to the new one, or charge you the difference depending on the timing and pricing of each plan.

What happens if I move to a different state or country?

Update your delivery address in your account settings. For print subscriptions, delivery availability and costs may change based on your new location. Contact customer service if you are moving outside the United States or to a region where Epoch Times does not currently deliver, as your subscription may need to be adjusted or converted to digital-only.

Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?

Some subscription types allow you to pause delivery for a set period — typically 4 to 12 weeks. Check your account settings or contact customer service to see if a pause option is available for your subscription. This is usually easier than canceling and restarting if you plan to resume later.

Do you offer a trial period or money-back may provide?

Trial periods and refund policies vary by region and subscription type. Check the subscription page when you sign up to see what terms explore to your plan. If you have questions about a refund after purchase, contact customer service with your order details.

How do I update my payment method?

Log into your account and go to payment settings or billing information. You can add a new credit card, update an existing one, or change your payment method entirely. Save your changes, and the new method will be used for your next renewal.
