How to Cancel ESPN Plus on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for ESPN Plus through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. Trying to cancel inside the ESPN app won't work, which is a common point of confusion.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all Apple-level subscriptions are managed, not in the ESPN app itself.
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 media settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel ESPN Plus
Scroll through the list to find ESPN Plus. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel ESPN Plus on Android
For Android users, your subscription is managed through the Google Play Store. You can't cancel it from the ESPN Plus website if you originally subscribed this way.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Make sure you're signed into the same Google account you used to subscribe.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several account options.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the profile menu, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, on the next screen, tap Subscriptions to see all your active services.
4 Locate and Cancel ESPN Plus
Find ESPN Plus in your list of subscriptions and tap on it. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Follow the prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel ESPN Plus on Desktop or Laptop
This is the most direct way to cancel if you didn't sign up through a third party like Apple, Google, or Roku. Just be prepared for a couple of confirmation screens.
1 Go to the ESPN Plus Website
Open your web browser and navigate to plus.espn.com. This method works only if you subscribed directly through the ESPN website.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Log In button, usually in the top-right corner, and enter your ESPN Plus account credentials.
3 Navigate to Your Profile
Once logged in, click on your profile icon (it might look like a silhouette) in the top-right corner to open a dropdown menu.
4 Manage Your Subscription
From the dropdown, select Subscription. This will take you to your account management page. Here, you should see an option that says Manage. Click it.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
Inside the management area, you'll finally see the Cancel Subscription link. Click it and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm. Honestly, they make you click through a few too many screens here.
Cancel ESPN Plus by Phone or Live Chat
If you're stuck or just prefer talking to a person, you can contact ESPN Plus support directly.
- Phone Support: Call ESPN Customer Care at 1-888-549-3776. They are available from 9 AM to 1 AM Eastern Time. Have your account email and payment information ready before you call.
- Live Chat: You can access their live chat feature on the ESPN Fan Support website. It's often faster than calling, but wait times can vary. Be clear that you want to cancel your subscription immediately.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- No Prorated Refunds: ESPN Plus does not offer refunds for partially used billing periods. If you cancel, you'll still have access to the service until the end of your current paid cycle.
- Your Account Remains: Canceling your subscription doesn't delete your ESPN account. Your login will still work, but you won't have access to ESPN Plus content after your subscription period ends.
- Check Your Billing Source: Remember where you signed up. If it was through Roku, Amazon, or your cable provider, you must cancel through that specific service, not ESPN's website.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your ESPN Plus Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find the 'Cancel' Option?: This almost always means you subscribed through a third party. Check your subscriptions on Apple, Google Play, Roku, or Amazon to cancel there.
- Website Glitches: Sometimes the website just doesn't cooperate. Try logging out and logging back in, clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or using an incognito/private window.
- Login Problems: If you can't remember your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link. If you're still locked out, you'll have to contact customer support directly to sort it out before you can cancel.
- Still Stuck?: If all else fails, call them at 1-888-549-3776. A support agent can process the cancellation for you over the phone.
