How to Cancel Fubo: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide
Canceling a Fubo subscription is straightforward once you know where to look — but the exact steps vary depending on how you signed up and which device you're using. That distinction matters more than most people expect, and getting it wrong means you might think you've canceled when you actually haven't.
Here's everything you need to know.
Why Where You Signed Up Matters
Fubo is available through multiple platforms, and each one controls its own billing. If you subscribed through Fubo's website directly, you manage cancellation on Fubo's site. If you signed up through Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon, those platforms handle your billing — and canceling through Fubo's site won't stop the charges.
Before doing anything else, check your email confirmation from when you first signed up. The sender and wording will usually tell you whether it came from Fubo directly or from a third-party platform.
How to Cancel Fubo If You Signed Up Directly on Fubo's Website
This is the most common method for desktop and browser-based subscribers.
- Go to fubo.tv and sign in to your account
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select Account from the dropdown menu
- Scroll to the Subscription section
- Click Cancel Subscription
- Follow the on-screen prompts — Fubo may offer a pause option or a discounted rate before completing the cancellation
Once confirmed, you'll receive a cancellation email. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Fubo on a Mobile Device 📱
If You Signed Up Through Apple (iOS/tvOS)
Apple manages the subscription entirely through the App Store, not Fubo.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your Apple ID at the top
- Tap Subscriptions
- Find Fubo in the list
- Tap Cancel Subscription
If You Signed Up Through Google (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right
- Go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
- Select Fubo
- Tap Cancel subscription
How to Cancel Fubo Through a Streaming Device
Roku
- Press the Home button on your Roku remote
- Highlight the Fubo channel (don't open it — just select it)
- Press the asterisk (*) button to open options
- Choose Manage subscription
- Select Cancel subscription
Amazon Fire TV / Prime Video Channels
If you added Fubo through Amazon:
- Go to amazon.com on a browser and sign in
- Navigate to Accounts & Lists → Memberships & Subscriptions
- Find Fubo under your subscriptions
- Click Cancel subscription
What Happens After You Cancel?
Regardless of which platform you cancel through, a few things are consistent:
- Access doesn't stop immediately. You keep full service until the end of your current billing cycle.
- You won't receive a prorated refund for unused days in most cases — this is standard across streaming services.
- Cloud DVR recordings may be deleted after cancellation, depending on how long your account remains inactive.
- You can resubscribe at any time, though promotional pricing from your original sign-up typically won't carry over.
Common Reasons Cancellations Don't Go Through
A few situations where users believe they've canceled but haven't:
| Situation | What Actually Happened |
|---|---|
| Canceled on Fubo's site but signed up via Apple | Apple still billing — cancellation didn't apply |
| Closed the app or deleted it | Subscription remains active until formally canceled |
| Paused the subscription instead of canceling | Account is paused, not closed — billing resumes automatically |
| Got a retention offer and clicked through | May have accepted a discounted plan instead of canceling |
The pause feature is worth noting specifically. Fubo offers the option to pause your subscription for a set period rather than cancel. This can look like a confirmation screen, and some users mistake accepting a pause for completing a cancellation. Read the final confirmation screen carefully.
How to Confirm Your Cancellation Went Through
Always verify with these steps:
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Fubo or the relevant platform
- Log back into the platform you used to cancel and confirm the subscription shows as canceled or expiring
- Check your bank or credit card statement after the next expected billing date to confirm no charge appeared
If you're canceling close to your renewal date, it's worth checking your payment method a few days after the billing date would have passed. 🔍
Factors That Affect Your Experience
The cancellation process itself is simple, but several variables shape how it plays out for different users:
- Which platform you used to subscribe — this is the single biggest factor
- How close to your billing date you cancel — affects whether you get one more charge before it stops
- Whether you have add-ons (extra sports packages, premium channels) — these may or may not auto-cancel with the base plan
- Whether you're on a promotional or annual plan — annual subscribers may have different terms than month-to-month users
Annual plan holders in particular should review Fubo's current cancellation policy for their plan type, as refund eligibility and timing can differ from standard monthly billing.
Your specific situation — which device you use, how you originally signed up, whether you have add-ons, and when your billing date falls — determines exactly what the process looks like and what to expect afterward.
