ESPN+ is a popular streaming platform for sports enthusiasts, providing exclusive access to live games, premium articles, documentaries, and more. However, if you’re no longer using the service or you want to cut down on your monthly expenses, canceling your ESPN+ subscription might be the right step. This guide will walk you through the process of cancelling your subscription quickly and easily, with clear directions based on how you originally signed up.

TLDR (Too long, didn’t read)

If you subscribed to ESPN+ through ESPN.com, you can cancel via the website by going to your account settings. If you used a third party like Apple, Google, or Amazon, you’ll need to cancel through that provider directly. Double-check that cancellation by ensuring you receive a confirmation email. Avoid uninstalling the app alone — doing so doesn’t cancel your subscription.

Why You Might Want to Cancel

People cancel their ESPN+ accounts for a variety of legitimate reasons. These include:

• Budgetary adjustments: Monthly fees add up, and ESPN+ may no longer fit your budget.
• Lack of content interest: If the content doesn’t match your current sports preferences, it might make sense to cancel.
• Switching to another provider: You might be consolidating subscriptions or moving to a streaming bundle.

Important Things to Know Before Cancelling

Before proceeding with cancellation, here are some things to be aware of:

• Your access continues until the end of the billing period — no refunds for partial periods.
• Canceling only affects ESPN+ — it won’t cancel any Disney Bundle or Hulu packages unless done through the managing platform.
• Email confirmations — always ensure you receive a confirmation email to avoid accidental charges.

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Cancel ESPN+

The method you use to cancel ESPN+ depends on where you originally subscribed. Follow the appropriate section below:

1. Cancelling via ESPN.com (Web)

If you signed up through the ESPN website:

1. Go to ESPN.com and log in to your account.
2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select “ESPN+” from the drop-down menu.
3. Click “Manage Subscription”.
4. You’ll be redirected to the billing page. Look for the “Cancel Subscription” option and follow the prompts.
5. Confirm your cancellation and wait for the confirmation email.

2. Cancelling via the ESPN App

Note that canceling through the ESPN app is only possible if you’re redirected to your account settings online. The app itself doesn’t allow full cancellation. You’ll likely be directed to your device’s respective subscription page. See the next sections for more details.

3. Cancelling via Apple (iOS, iPadOS, macOS)

If you signed up using an Apple device:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top, then go to Subscriptions.
3. Find and tap on ESPN+ from the list.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription.

If you’re using a Mac:

1. Open the App Store and sign in.
2. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Click Account Settings, then scroll down to Subscriptions and choose Manage.
4. Select ESPN+ and click Cancel.

4. Cancelling via Google Play (Android Devices)

If you enrolled through the Google Play Store:

1. Open the Google Play Store on your device.
2. Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
4. Find ESPN+ and tap Cancel subscription.

5. Cancelling via Amazon (Fire TV or Fire Tablets)

For users who subscribed through Amazon:

1. Go to Amazon.com and log in.
2. Navigate to Your Memberships & Subscriptions.
3. Find ESPN+ and click Manage Subscription.
4. Click Cancel and complete the confirmation steps.

6. Cancelling the Disney Bundle

If your ESPN+ account is part of the Disney Bundle (which includes Disney+ and Hulu), then you must cancel your subscription from the origin website – usually:

• Disney+
• Hulu

Once logged into your account, go to your subscription settings and cancel from there. This will cancel the full bundle.

What Happens After You Cancel?

Once cancellation is successful:

• You will retain access to ESPN+ until the end of your current billing cycle.
• Your account will not be charged again unless you re-subscribe.
• You’ll still have access to a free ESPN account, but without exclusive ESPN+ content like PPV and premium articles.

Troubleshooting and Best Practices

Here are a few common questions and issues that might arise:

What if You Don’t See the Cancel Button?

This usually means you subscribed through a third party such as Apple, Google, or Amazon. Refer to the appropriate section above to proceed.

Can You Get a Refund?

Generally, ESPN+ does not offer refunds for partial subscription periods. That said, you might try contacting their customer support via the ESPN Help Center to see if any exceptions can be made.

Do You Need to Uninstall the App?

No. Uninstalling the app won’t cancel your subscription. You must go through the proper cancellation process outlined earlier.

Double Check with Confirmation

Always check your email for a cancellation confirmation. If you don’t receive an email, log back in to your account and verify that the subscription status is listed as canceled.

Final Thoughts

Canceling your ESPN+ subscription doesn’t need to be stressful or time-consuming. As long as you follow the steps we’ve outlined and identify the original method of your sign-up, the process should be smooth. Whether you’re doing some financial spring cleaning or simply no longer find value in the service, taking the time to properly cancel ensures you won’t accidentally waste money.

If you ever feel like coming back, ESPN+ offers monthly or annual subscriptions, so you can re-subscribe whenever it suits your lifestyle.
