How to Cancel Fubo Subscription: Easy & Complete Guide

Fubo seemed like a great idea at first—live sports, tons of channels, the works. But then the bill hit your account again, and you realized you haven’t actually watched it in weeks. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Canceling a streaming service should be simple, but Fubo makes it just confusing enough that people end up paying for months longer than they need to. This guide walks you through exactly how to cancel Fubo subscription in minutes, whether you’re on your phone, computer, or tablet. We’ll also cover what happens to your account, how to avoid surprise charges, and what to do if Fubo won’t let you cancel.

Quick Answer: Cancel Fubo in 3 Steps

If you just want the fastest path: Log into Fubo.tv on your web browser → Go to Account Settings → Select “Cancel Subscription” → Confirm. Done. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle. No phone calls needed, no customer service runaround. Takes about two minutes.

But here’s the thing—there are a few gotchas worth knowing before you hit that cancel button. Timing matters. Your billing date matters. And if you’re on a promotional plan, canceling early might trigger a fee. Let’s dig into the details so you don’t get blindsided.

Before You Cancel: What You Need to Know

Canceling Fubo isn’t a “pull the plug immediately” situation. Here’s what actually happens:

• Your service continues until the end of your billing cycle. If you’re billed on the 15th and you cancel on the 1st, you still get access through the 14th. Fubo doesn’t prorate refunds for early cancellation.
• Check your promotional period. If you signed up for a discounted rate (like $10/month for three months), canceling before that period ends might mean you owe the difference at full price. Some promotions lock you in.
• Free trial users can cancel anytime. If you’re in a free trial, canceling now prevents any charges from hitting your card when the trial ends.
• You’ll lose access to saved content and recordings. Anything you’ve recorded or bookmarked disappears once your account closes.
• Canceling other streaming services works similarly—most will let you finish your billing cycle, but the exact terms vary by provider.

Pro Tip: Before you cancel, check your Fubo account to see your exact billing date and what plan you’re on. This takes 30 seconds and saves you from nasty surprises. Log in, go to Account Settings, and look for “Billing & Payments.”

Now let’s walk through the actual cancellation process. The method depends on where you’re accessing Fubo from.

How to Cancel Fubo on Web (Desktop/Laptop)

This is the easiest way to cancel. You have full control, and you can see exactly what you’re doing.

1. Open your web browser and go to Fubo.tv. You can use Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge—doesn’t matter.
2. Sign in with your email and password. If you’ve forgotten your password, click “Forgot Password” and reset it. You’ll need to receive a reset link via email.
3. Click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner. It’s usually a small circle with your initial or a generic user icon.
4. Select “Account Settings” from the dropdown menu. Sometimes it’s labeled “Settings” or “My Account.” Look for anything that says account or profile.
5. Look for a “Subscription” or “Billing” section. Scroll down if you don’t see it immediately. Fubo’s layout changes occasionally, but this section is always there.
6. Find the “Cancel Subscription” button. It’s usually red or clearly labeled as a cancellation option. Click it.
7. Read the cancellation confirmation screen carefully. Fubo will show you your final billing date and ask you to confirm. This is your last chance to back out.
8. Click “Cancel Subscription” or “Confirm Cancellation.” The exact wording varies, but the button will be obvious.
9. You’ll see a confirmation message. Screenshot this or note your cancellation date. You should also receive a confirmation email within minutes.

That’s it. You’re done. You can still use Fubo until your billing cycle ends, but your subscription is officially canceled and won’t renew.

Safety Warning: Don’t close your browser immediately after canceling. Wait for the confirmation message to fully load. If the page seems stuck or refreshes weirdly, your cancellation might not have gone through. Check your email for a confirmation, or log back in to verify the subscription is marked as “Canceled.”

How to Cancel Fubo on Mobile App (iPhone, Android)

Canceling through the Fubo app is possible, but it’s a bit more limited than the web version. Here’s how:

1. Open the Fubo app on your phone. Make sure you’re logged in.
2. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. This is the hamburger menu. On some versions, it might be in the top left.
3. Scroll down and tap “Account” or “Settings.” Look for anything related to your profile or account management.
4. Tap “Subscription” or “Manage Subscription.” This might also be under “Billing.”
5. Look for a “Cancel Subscription” option. If you don’t see it, try tapping “Subscription Details” first, then look for a cancel button.
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Read the final message carefully. It will tell you when your access ends.

Important note: If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store instead of directly through Fubo, you need to cancel through your app store account, not the Fubo app. See the section below for store-specific instructions.

How to Cancel Fubo on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Smart TV Apps

Here’s where it gets tricky. If you subscribed through a smart TV app (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.), you typically can’t cancel directly in the app. You have two options:

Option 1: Cancel Through Your Device’s App Store (Easiest)

• Roku: Go to Roku.com → Sign in → Select “Subscriptions” → Find Fubo → Select “Cancel.”
• Amazon Fire TV: Open the Alexa app → Go to “More” → “Subscriptions” → Find Fubo → Select “Cancel Subscription.”
• Apple TV: On your Apple device, go to Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Find Fubo → Select “Cancel Subscription.”

Even if you subscribed through an app, you can always cancel by logging into Fubo.tv on a web browser using the steps above. This is actually the most reliable method because you’re canceling directly with Fubo, not through a middleman.

Pro Tip: If you subscribed through an app store and you’re having trouble canceling, go to Fubo.tv in a web browser and cancel there. Then verify that your subscription status shows as “Canceled” in your app store account. Sometimes there’s a lag between the two systems.

What Happens After You Cancel Fubo Subscription

Your cancellation is processed immediately, but your service access follows your billing cycle. Here’s the timeline:

• Immediately after cancellation: Your subscription status changes to “Canceled” in your account. You can still watch Fubo until your billing cycle ends. Nothing changes about your viewing experience.
• On your next billing date: Fubo will NOT charge your payment method. Your account will be deactivated at the end of that day.
• After your account deactivates: You lose all access to Fubo content. Your watch history, saved shows, and recordings are gone. You can’t reactivate an old account—if you want to come back, you’ll sign up as a new customer.
• Email confirmation: You should receive a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours. Keep this for your records.

One thing people often ask: Can you cancel and then reactivate later? Technically yes, but you’ll be treated as a new customer, which means no grandfathered rates or promotional pricing. This is similar to how other streaming services handle reactivation—they’d rather have you as a new paying customer than let you keep an old account on pause.

Billing Problems & Refunds

What if Fubo already charged you this month and you want a refund? Or what if you’re being charged after you canceled? Here’s what you need to know:

Fubo generally does NOT offer refunds for partial months. If you cancel on the 10th of the month and you were billed on the 1st, you don’t get money back for the unused 20 days. It’s an all-or-nothing billing model. However, there are exceptions:

• If you canceled during a free trial: You should never be charged. If you were, contact Fubo support immediately and request a refund. This is a billing error on their end.
• If you were charged after canceling: This sometimes happens due to system delays. Contact Fubo support with your cancellation confirmation email, and they’ll refund the erroneous charge.
• If you’re disputing a charge: Contact your credit card company or bank and file a chargeback. Provide them with proof of cancellation. This is your nuclear option if Fubo won’t cooperate.

If you need to dispute a charge or have billing questions, go to Fubo.tv → Click the help icon (question mark) → Select “Contact Us” → Choose your issue. You can also email support@fubo.tv or call their customer service line. Response times vary, but they typically reply within 24-48 hours via email.

Real Talk: Fubo’s support is decent but not lightning-fast. If you’re in a hurry, your credit card company or bank can often resolve billing disputes faster than dealing with Fubo directly. Just make sure you have documentation—your cancellation confirmation email is gold here.

After you cancel, keep an eye on your billing statements for the next 2-3 months. It’s rare, but some services accidentally re-bill canceled accounts. If you see a Fubo charge after your cancellation date:

1. Log into Fubo.tv and check your account status. It should say “Canceled.”
2. If it says “Active” or “Subscription Renewed,” something went wrong. Contact support immediately.
3. If your account is definitely canceled but you were still charged, file a chargeback with your bank. You have documentation of the cancellation.

How to Reactivate Your Fubo Account (If You Change Your Mind)

Changed your mind? Fubo lets you reactivate before your access completely ends, but the window is narrow.

If you canceled but you’re still within your current billing cycle (before your final access date), you can reactivate:

1. Log into Fubo.tv with your email and password.
2. Go to Account Settings → Subscription.
3. Look for a “Reactivate Subscription” or “Resume Subscription” button.
4. Select your plan and confirm.
5. Your service will resume immediately.

If your account has already deactivated (after your billing cycle ended), you can’t reactivate the old account. You’ll need to sign up as a new customer. The good news: you might qualify for a new promotional offer. The bad news: any old pricing you had is gone.

To sign up again, go to Fubo.tv, click “Start Free Trial” or “Sign Up,” and create a new account with the same email or a different one. You’ll go through the normal onboarding process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fubo charge immediately when you cancel?

– No. Canceling doesn’t trigger an immediate charge. Instead, Fubo stops charging you at your next billing date. You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle. So if you’re billed on the 15th and you cancel on the 1st, you still have access through the 14th, and no new charge hits on the 15th.

Can you cancel Fubo anytime or is there a contract?

– Fubo has no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime. However, if you’re on a promotional plan (like discounted pricing for the first three months), some promotions require you to stay for the full promotional period or you’ll owe the difference. Check your account to see if you’re on a promo plan before canceling.

What if I subscribed through my app store—how do I cancel?

– You have two options. First, cancel through your app store (Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, etc.). Second, log into Fubo.tv on a web browser and cancel there. The web method is usually faster and more reliable. If you cancel through Fubo.tv but not your app store, you might still be charged through the app store, so do both to be safe.

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

– No, Fubo doesn’t prorate refunds. You pay for the full month regardless of when you cancel. The only exception is if you cancel during a free trial—you should never be charged in that case. If you were, it’s a billing error and you should request a refund.

How do I know if my cancellation went through?

– Check your email for a confirmation message from Fubo. You should receive it within 24 hours of canceling. Also, log back into your account and go to Account Settings → Subscription. It should say “Canceled” or show a message like “Your subscription will end on [date].” If you don’t see a confirmation email after 24 hours, try canceling again or contact Fubo support.

Can I pause my Fubo subscription instead of canceling?

– Fubo doesn’t offer a formal “pause” feature. You either have an active subscription or a canceled one. If you want to take a break without losing your account, you could keep it active but just not use it. However, that means you’ll keep paying. If you want to save money, canceling and reactivating later is your best bet—just know you’ll be treated as a new customer when you come back.

What happens to my recordings and watch history after I cancel?

– Everything is deleted. Your watch history, saved shows, recordings, and watchlist all disappear once your account is deactivated. There’s no way to recover this data, so if you want to keep a record of what you watched or had recorded, take screenshots before your account closes.

Is there a cancellation fee?

– No, Fubo doesn’t charge a cancellation fee. You can cancel anytime without penalty (unless you’re on a locked promotional plan, in which case you might owe the difference between your promo price and the regular price). Check your account details before canceling to see if you have any promotional restrictions.

Can I cancel over the phone?

– Technically yes, but it’s not necessary. Fubo encourages online cancellation because it’s faster and you get instant confirmation. If you want to cancel by phone, you can call Fubo support, but you’ll wait on hold and the process takes longer. Online cancellation takes two minutes and you get email proof.

What if Fubo won’t let me cancel?

– This is rare, but if you’re having trouble, try canceling through a different method (web instead of app, or vice versa). If that doesn’t work, contact Fubo support with screenshots of the problem. As a last resort, you can file a chargeback with your credit card company or bank. Document everything—your cancellation attempts, support emails, etc. Your bank will side with you if you have proof you tried to cancel.

Can I get a promotional offer if I reactivate later?

– Maybe. Fubo sometimes offers new customer promotions to people who reactivate after canceling. It’s not guaranteed, but you might see a special offer when you try to sign up again. You won’t get your old pricing back, though. New customer pricing applies.

How long does it take for Fubo to stop charging after I cancel?

– Immediately. Once you cancel, Fubo will not charge you at your next billing date. However, you’ll still have access until the end of your current billing cycle. So the charge stops right away, but the service access continues until your cycle ends.

Can I cancel for a specific reason and get a discount instead?

– Fubo doesn’t usually offer discounts to prevent cancellation. You cancel, and that’s it. However, if you contact support and explain why you’re leaving (price is too high, missing a channel, etc.), they might offer you a temporary discount or a month free. It’s worth asking, but don’t count on it.

What’s the difference between canceling and deleting my account?

– Canceling your subscription stops the charges and ends your access. Your account data remains in Fubo’s system for a while. Deleting your account is different—it removes your personal information from Fubo’s servers. Fubo doesn’t have a “delete account” button like some services do. If you want your data removed, contact support and request account deletion. They’ll handle it manually.
