You can delete your Fubo TV account through your account settings, and the process takes about five minutes
To delete your Fubo TV account, log in to your account on the Fubo website or app, go to Account Settings, find the option to close or delete your account, and confirm the deletion. Fubo will stop charging you immediately, though you may lose access to your content right away depending on your subscription status. If you have an active subscription, cancelling first (which stops future charges) is separate from deleting your account (which removes all your data).
The exact steps differ slightly between web and mobile, but the principle is the same: you're telling Fubo to remove your account from their system. This is different from simply cancelling your subscription — cancellation stops the charges, but deletion removes your profile, viewing history, saved shows, and payment information.
Key Takeaways
- Cancelling your subscription and deleting your account are two separate actions; cancellation stops charges but deletion removes your account entirely.
- On the Fubo website, go to Account Settings, scroll to the bottom, and look for a "Close Account" or "Delete Account" option.
- On the Fubo mobile app, the delete option is usually under Settings or Account, but the exact location varies by device.
- After deletion, you cannot recover your account, saved shows, or viewing history, so download or note anything you want to keep first.
Deleting your account through the Fubo website
Log in to your Fubo account at fubo.tv using your email and password. Once you're logged in, click on your profile icon or name in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Account" or "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Account Settings page. You should see an option labeled "Close Account," "Delete Account," or "Cancel Account" — the exact wording varies. Click that option. Fubo will ask you to confirm that you want to delete your account and may ask why you're leaving. You can skip the survey or fill it out; either way, confirm the deletion. Your account will be removed immediately.
Deleting your account through the Fubo mobile app
Open the Fubo app on your phone or tablet and log in if you're not already signed in. Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) or your profile icon, depending on your device. Look for "Settings" or "Account Settings."
Scroll through the settings menu until you find an option to close, delete, or cancel your account. On some versions of the app, this option appears near the bottom under "Account" or "Preferences." Tap it, confirm your choice, and your account will be deleted. If you cannot find the option on your app, use the website method instead — the website always has the delete option visible.
What happens to your subscription and charges
If you delete your account while an active subscription is running, Fubo stops charging you immediately. You will not receive a refund for any remaining time on your current billing cycle — that money is gone. If you want to preserve any unused portion of your subscription, contact Fubo's support team before deleting your account to discuss a refund or credit.
If your subscription has already ended and you're not being charged, deleting your account simply removes your profile and data. There are no pending charges to worry about.
Recovering your account after deletion
Once you delete your Fubo account, it cannot be recovered. Your viewing history, saved shows, watchlist, and all account settings are permanently removed. Fubo does not restore deleted accounts, even if you contact their support team immediately after deletion.
If you think you might want to use Fubo again in the future, consider cancelling your subscription instead of deleting your account. Cancellation stops the charges but keeps your account dormant, so you can log back in later without losing your history. You can always delete the account later if you change your mind.
Cancelling instead of deleting
If you're not sure whether you want to delete your account permanently, you can cancel your subscription first. Cancellation stops Fubo from charging you but leaves your account intact. To cancel without deleting, go to Account Settings, find "Manage Subscription" or "Billing," and select "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation.
After cancellation, you can still log in to your account and access your saved content for a period of time (usually until the end of your current billing cycle). If you decide later that you want to delete everything, you can return to Account Settings and choose the delete option then.
Troubleshooting if you cannot find the delete option
If you're logged into the Fubo website and cannot find the delete account option, try logging out completely and logging back in. Sometimes the option doesn't appear until you refresh your session. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again.
If you're using the mobile app and the delete option is not visible, update the app to the latest version through your device's app store. Older versions sometimes lack the account deletion feature. If the option still doesn't appear after updating, use the Fubo website instead — the web version always has the delete option available. If you're still stuck, contact Fubo's support team through their website or app; they can walk you through the process or delete your account for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I delete my account mid-billing cycle?
No. Fubo does not refund unused portions of your subscription when you delete your account. If you want to discuss a refund or credit, contact their support team before deleting. After deletion, refund requests are much harder to pursue.
Can I use the same email address to create a new Fubo account after deletion?
Yes. After your account is deleted, you can sign up for a new Fubo account using the same email address. You'll start fresh with no viewing history or saved content from your previous account.
What if I forgot my password and cannot log in to delete my account?
Use the "Forgot Password" option on the Fubo login page to reset your password, then log in and delete your account. If you no longer have access to the email address associated with your account, contact Fubo's support team and explain the situation — they can verify your identity and delete the account for you.
Does deleting my Fubo account remove it from my smart TV or streaming device?
Deleting your account on Fubo's website or app removes your account from their servers, but you may still see the Fubo app on your devices. Log out of the app on each device, or uninstall it if you don't plan to use it again. The app itself won't disappear automatically.
