How to Cancel ESPN Plus Subscription (2025 Guide)

Launched in 2018, ESPN Plus streams live sports but often annoys fans with regional blackouts. With subscriptions ranging from $10.99 to $109.99, cancelling can save you over $100 annually. Available on iOS, Android, and desktop, the service is facing heat alongside the viral Disney+ price hike backlash. Pissed Consumer reports hundreds of complaints in the last 3 years, specifically citing "billing errors" and "poor support." Maybe you only signed up for that one UFC fight. It happens. Visit ESPN Plus to stop the charges.

How to Cancel ESPN Plus on iPhone (iOS)

If you subscribed through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple. Deleting the app does nothing.

How to Cancel ESPN Plus on Android

This method works if you used Google Play billing. If you paid with a credit card directly on the website, use the desktop guide below.

How to Cancel ESPN Plus on Desktop or Laptop

This is the most reliable method if you signed up directly through ESPN. It avoids the app store confusion.

Cancel by Email or Live Chat

If the buttons are broken (which happens more than it should), you can try contacting support directly.

• Live Chat: Available on the ESPN support center website. Look for the "Chat with us" button at the bottom right. Wait times vary, but it is usually faster than email.
• Email: You can try emailing support@espnplus.com, but responses are notoriously slow. Expect a 24-48 hour wait.

What is ESPN Plus Cancellation Policy

ESPN Plus has a strict "no refund" policy for partial months. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of the current billing cycle. This means if you cancel on the 2nd of the month but your cycle ends on the 30th, you still have access (and no money back) for those 28 days.

Many users on Trustpilot complain that if you forget to cancel by even one day, you are on the hook for the full next month (or year, if you are on the annual plan). There is no grace period.

Before You Cancel ESPN Plus: What You Should Know

• Bundles are tricky: If you have the Disney Bundle (Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+), cancelling just ESPN+ might not lower your bill significantly. You often have to cancel the entire bundle.
• Data retention: Your account profile remains even after you stop paying. They want you to come back easily.
• Best time to cancel: Do it at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Their systems can be slow to update.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your ESPN Plus Subscription?

Stuck in a loop? Here are common fixes:

• Check Third-Party Billing: If you see a message saying "Manage on Roku" or "Manage on Amazon," you cannot cancel on the ESPN site. You must go to your Roku or Amazon account page.
• Use a Desktop: The mobile site is glitchy. Try logging in from a laptop.
• Incognito Mode: Sometimes browser cookies mess up the "Cancel" button. Open an incognito window and try again.
• Contact Support: If all else fails, use the chat function. Tell them explicitly to cancel immediately.
