The Athletic is in the News & Reading category and is one of the 173+ services pre-loaded into SubRemind.
The Athletic pricing
The Athletic is billed monthly or yearly, with the yearly plan giving the largest discount. NYT subscribers can sometimes add it for less — enter whatever you actually pay.
The Athletic free trial
The Athletic typically offers a 7-day or 30-day free trial for new accounts. Use the "Free trial" toggle when adding it so SubRemind countdowns the trial and excludes its cost from this month's total.
How to cancel The Athletic
Cancel from theathletic.com/account/manage — or via NYT account if bundled. Delete the row from SubRemind once cancellation is confirmed.

The Athletic subscription — FAQ
How much does The Athletic cost?
The Athletic pricing varies by plan and region — SubRemind doesn't hard-code merchant prices since they drift. Add The Athletic to SubRemind with the actual amount your card is billed and SubRemind converts it to your base currency.
Does The Athletic offer a free trial?
Trial availability changes by region and promo. If The Athletic is offering a free trial when you sign up, tick the "Free trial" checkbox in SubRemind and set the trial-end date. SubRemind keeps the trial cost out of this month's total and sends a reminder before it converts.
Can I track The Athletic on SubRemind?
Yes. The Athletic is one of the 173+ services pre-loaded into SubRemind. After signing up you can add it from the service picker in two clicks — logo and default category (News & Reading) are filled in automatically.
Does SubRemind charge me for The Athletic?
No. SubRemind never bills you. The Athletic is billed by its own merchant; SubRemind only records the price, currency, and renewal date you enter so it can compute your totals and remind you about renewals and trials.
Can I track The Athletic if I'm billed in a different currency than usual?
Yes. Enter the price in whatever currency The Athletic actually charges you. SubRemind converts it to your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so the dashboard total is always in one currency even if you have The Athletic in one currency and other subs in another.
How do I cancel The Athletic?
Cancellation always happens on The Athletic's own website or app — SubRemind does not cancel subscriptions on your behalf. After you cancel, delete the subscription from your SubRemind dashboard so it stops appearing in your projection.
