Canceling ESPN+ takes a few minutes if you signed up directly, but the process changes depending on where you originally subscribed. This guide walks you through every path so you can stop the next charge and keep watching until your billing cycle ends.
Before You Start
Figure out where you signed up. ESPN+ is billed by whichever platform you used to subscribe:
- Directly through ESPN (web or ESPN app on a phone/browser)
- Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV via App Store)
- Roku (Roku Pay)
- Amazon (Prime Video Channels or Fire TV)
- Google Play (Android)
- The Disney Bundle (with Disney+ and Hulu)
Check your credit card or app store receipts if you're not sure. You can only cancel through the same channel that charges you.
Cancel ESPN+ Directly (Website)
If you signed up on ESPN's site or app, this is the fastest route.
- Go to ESPNPlus.com and sign in with your ESPN account.
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Account.
- Under Subscriptions, click Manage ESPN+ Subscription.
- Click Cancel Subscription and confirm on the next screen.
You should get a confirmation email within a few minutes. Save it in case a charge shows up later.
Cancel ESPN+ on iPhone or iPad (Apple)
- Open Settings on your iOS device.
- Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
- Find ESPN+ in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If ESPN+ isn't listed, you didn't subscribe through Apple. Try the direct method above.
Cancel ESPN+ on Roku
- From the Roku home screen, highlight the ESPN+ channel (do not open it).
- Press the ***** (star) button on your remote.
- Choose Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
Cancel ESPN+ Through Amazon
- Go to Amazon's Memberships & Subscriptions page.
- Find ESPN+ under your active subscriptions.
- Click Cancel Channel or Manage Subscription.
- Follow the prompts to confirm.
Cancel ESPN+ on Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Tap ESPN+, then Cancel subscription.
If You Have the Disney Bundle
Canceling ESPN+ alone won't work if you're on the Disney Bundle. You'd need to switch off the bundle first through your Disney+ or Hulu account settings, then cancel ESPN+ separately. Check your Disney Bundle account to manage this.
Check whether your purchase is still within the return window.
Important Rules and Policies
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Refunds | ESPN+ generally does not offer prorated refunds for partial months |
| Access after cancellation | You keep access until the end of your current paid period |
| Annual plans | You keep access until the end of the year you paid for |
| Free trial | Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge |
| Re-subscribing | You can restart anytime through the same platform |
If you cancel an annual plan the day after renewal, ESPN typically won't refund the year. Set a calendar reminder a week before your renewal date.
Tips and Common Problems
You don't see ESPN+ under Manage Subscription. You probably subscribed through a third-party platform. Check Apple, Roku, Amazon, or Google Play.
You canceled but were charged again. Confirm the cancellation email date. If the charge came after that date, contact ESPN Fan Support at 1-800-727-1800 or use the ESPN+ Help Center chat.
You want to pause instead of cancel. ESPN+ doesn't offer a pause option. Your only options are cancel or keep paying.
You bought an annual plan and want out early. Cancel now to stop auto-renewal, but you'll keep access until the term ends. Refunds for annual plans are rare and handled case-by-case by support.
You still get charged for the Disney Bundle. The bundle is billed separately. You'll need to modify or cancel the bundle through your Disney+ or Hulu account, not through ESPN+ alone.
Sign-in issues are blocking cancellation. Reset your password at ESPN.com before attempting to cancel. If your account is locked, contact ESPN Fan Support directly.
Once your cancellation confirmation lands in your inbox, you're done. Enjoy the rest of your paid access, then check your card statement the following month to make sure no charge appears.
