MLB.TV has been streaming baseball since its launch in 2002, letting you watch live and on-demand games. But maybe you're tired of paying during the offseason or you're just fed up with the blackout restrictions that prevent you from watching your local team. It's a common complaint. With plans ranging from $29.99 to $149.99, you can save up to $150 a year by canceling. This guide will walk you through canceling on Desktop, iOS, and Android so you can stop the charges.
How to Cancel MLB.TV on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for MLB.TV through the app on your iPhone, your subscription is managed by Apple. You'll need to cancel it through your device's settings, not the MLB app itself.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. This will show you all the active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Select MLB.TV
Scroll through the list until you find the MLB subscription. It might just say 'MLB'. Tap on it to see the details.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a red Cancel Subscription button. Tap it and confirm your choice. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel MLB.TV on Android
For Android users who subscribed via the MLB app, your billing is handled by the Google Play Store. The cancellation process is done there, not on the MLB website.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary place for managing app-based subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google keeps track of all your recurring charges.
4 Select Subscriptions
In the next menu, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active subscriptions managed through Google Play.
5 Find MLB.TV and Cancel
Locate the MLB subscription in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel subscription button at the bottom and follow the prompts to confirm. It's a bit buried, but it's in there.
How to Cancel MLB.TV on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling directly on the MLB.TV website is often the easiest method, especially if you didn't subscribe through a mobile app store. This gives you direct control over your account.
1 Go to the MLB.TV Website
Open your web browser and navigate to MLB.TV. This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up on their site.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Log In button, usually at the top right, and enter your credentials. If you forgot your password, now's the time to reset it.
3 Navigate to Your Account Profile
Once logged in, click on your Profile icon or name. A dropdown menu should appear. Select Account Settings or a similar option.
4 Find the Billing Section
In your account dashboard, look for a tab or link that says Manage Subscriptions, Audio/Video Subscriptions, or Billing Information. Honestly, they seem to move this around a bit.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
You should see your active MLB.TV subscription listed. Click the Cancel Subscription or Manage link next to it and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the cancellation. You might have to click through a confirmation pop-up or two.
Cancel MLB.TV by Phone
If you're struggling with the online process, you can call MLB.TV customer support to cancel your subscription.
- Phone Number: 1-866-800-1275 (U.S.) or 1-512-434-1542 (International)
- Hours: Typically available 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM ET during the season.
Be prepared with your account information, including the email address associated with your MLB.TV account. Expect some potential wait time, especially on game days.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- No Refunds for Forgetting: MLB is known for its strict no-refund policy. If your subscription auto-renews, you are unlikely to get your money back, even if you cancel immediately after the charge. You must cancel before the renewal date.
- Access Until the End of the Cycle: When you cancel, your access to MLB.TV continues until the end of your current paid billing period (monthly or yearly). It doesn't shut off right away.
- Check for Blackouts: One of the biggest complaints is the blackout policy. If you're canceling because you can't watch your local team, that's a feature, not a bug. Canceling won't change that if you decide to resubscribe later.
- No Pausing: MLB.TV does not offer an option to pause your subscription. You can only cancel it and then resubscribe later if you choose.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your MLB.TV Subscription?
It can be frustrating when a simple cancellation turns into a hassle. Here are a few things to try if you're stuck:
- Where Did You Sign Up? This is the most common issue. If you subscribed through Apple, you must cancel through Apple. If you subscribed through Amazon Prime, you must cancel there. The MLB.TV website can't cancel a subscription billed by a third party.
- Try a Different Device: Sometimes the mobile app or website has glitches. If you can't cancel on your phone, try logging in on a desktop computer. The website interface is usually more reliable for account management.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data can sometimes cause issues. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies or using an incognito/private window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, call them. Their phone support at 1-866-800-1275 can process a cancellation for you if you provide your account details. It might take a while, but it's a reliable last resort.
