We investigate expressions of form A×C ∼= B×C involving direct products of digraphs. Lovasz gave exact conditions on C for which it necessarily follows that A ∼= B. We are here concerned with a different aspect of cancellation. We describe exact conditions on A for which it necessarily follows that A ∼= B. In the process, we do the following: Given an arbitrary digraph A and a digraph C that admits a homomorphism onto an arc, we classify all digraphs B for which A× C ∼= B × C.
