How to Cancel ESPN+ (Step-by-Step Guide)

This guide walks you through canceling your ESPN+ subscription on the web, mobile app, and through third-party billing partners like Apple or Amazon. You’ll need to know where you originally signed up, because that determines the exact cancellation path.

What You’ll Need

• Access to the email account you used for ESPN+
• Your ESPN+ password (or ability to reset it)
• If you subscribed via Apple, Amazon, Roku, or a TV provider: access to that account as well
• Your billing details handy if you need to verify identity

Step-by-Step

If you subscribed directly on ESPN.com or the ESPN app

1. Go to espn.com and click the profile icon (top right).
2. Select ESPN+ Subscription from the dropdown menu.
3. Under the “Manage Subscription” section, click Cancel Subscription.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation. You may be asked to select a reason.
5. Once done, you’ll see a confirmation screen. Save or screenshot it for your records.
6. You’ll also receive a confirmation email at the address linked to your account.

If you subscribed through the ESPN app on iOS (Apple)

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
3. Find ESPN+ in the list and tap it.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
5. Note: you cannot cancel an Apple-billed subscription from the ESPN website; you must do it here.

If you subscribed through Amazon (Prime Video Channels)

1. Go to amazon.com and sign in.
2. Hover over Accounts & Lists and select Your Memberships and Subscriptions.
3. Find ESPN+ and click Manage.
4. Click Cancel Channel and confirm.
5. You can also cancel from a Fire TV device: go to Settings > Memberships & Subscriptions.

If you subscribed through Roku

1. On your Roku home screen, go to Streaming Channels.
2. Highlight ESPN+ and press the * button on your remote.
3. Select Manage Subscription and then Cancel Subscription.
4. Confirm when prompted.

If you subscribed through a TV provider (e.g., cable or satellite)

1. Contact your TV provider’s customer service.
2. Ask them to remove the ESPN+ add-on from your package.
3. They may require you to confirm the change in writing or online.
4. Once removed, your ESPN+ access ends at the end of the current billing cycle.

Common Mistakes

• Canceling the wrong way: Deleting the ESPN app or unsubscribing from emails does not cancel your subscription.
• Assuming website cancellation works for all: If you subscribed via Apple, Amazon, or Roku, you must cancel through that provider, not ESPN’s site.
• Forgetting to confirm: Some users click “Cancel” but don’t complete the final confirmation step, so the subscription stays active.
• Ignoring the billing cycle: Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you won’t get a refund for the remainder of that period.

Tips

• Cancel at least a day before the next renewal date to avoid being charged for another month.
• Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page—it’s your proof if a charge still appears later.
• If you’re on a free trial, cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
• Keep an eye on your email for a confirmation from ESPN or the billing provider. If you don’t receive one within 24 hours, contact support.
• If you’re canceling because of a price increase, you can sometimes get a retention offer by calling ESPN support instead of canceling online.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the “Cancel Subscription” button on ESPN.com.
Make sure you’re logged in with the correct account. If you still don’t see it, you likely subscribed through a third party. Check your billing statements for clues—if it says “Apple,” “Amazon,” “Roku,” or a TV provider, follow the corresponding steps above.

I canceled but was still charged.
First, check the date: if you canceled after the renewal date, the charge may be for the next cycle. If you canceled before the renewal and still got charged, contact the billing provider (Apple, Amazon, etc.) with your confirmation email or screenshot. They can issue a refund.

I can’t log in to my ESPN account.
Use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. If you don’t have access to the email, contact ESPN support with your name and billing address to verify your identity.

My subscription shows as active but I don’t use it.
Sometimes there are multiple ESPN+ subscriptions under the same email (e.g., one direct and one via Apple). Check your billing history to see which one is active, and cancel each one separately.

The cancel button is grayed out.
This usually happens when the subscription is managed by a third party. You’ll need to cancel through that provider, not ESPN.
