How to Cancel Fubo: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you finding yourself spending more time scrolling through channels than actually watching anything on Fubo? Or maybe your free trial is ending, and you’ve decided the service isn’t quite the right fit for your entertainment needs. Whatever the reason, knowing how to cancel your Fubo subscription is a crucial step in managing your finances and ensuring you’re only paying for the services you truly use. With the ever-increasing number of streaming options available, it’s important to have the knowledge to easily navigate subscribing and unsubscribing from these platforms.

Cancelling a Fubo subscription isn’t always as straightforward as signing up. Different devices and subscription methods can lead to variations in the cancellation process. Understanding the specific steps required based on how you initially subscribed is key to avoiding unwanted charges and ensuring your service is properly terminated. This guide will break down the cancellation process step-by-step, giving you the confidence to manage your Fubo account and prevent any future billing surprises.

What are the different methods for cancelling Fubo, and which one applies to me?

How do I cancel my Fubo subscription?

You can cancel your Fubo subscription online through your Fubo account or, in some cases, through the platform where you initially subscribed (like Roku or Apple). Typically, you’ll need to log in to your account, navigate to the “My Account” or “Subscription & Billing” section, and then follow the prompts to cancel. Your access to Fubo will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.

Cancelling your Fubo subscription stops future charges from being applied to your account. Even after cancelling, you’ll still be able to watch Fubo until the end of your current paid subscription period. This means you won’t be immediately cut off from the service. It’s a good idea to check your account details after cancellation to confirm the exact date your access will end. Keep in mind that the specific steps to cancel might vary slightly depending on how you signed up for Fubo. If you subscribed directly through the Fubo website, cancelling through your account on their website is the most straightforward method. If you subscribed through a third-party like Roku or Apple, you will need to manage your subscription through their respective app stores or account settings. Review your initial subscription confirmation email for details on where and how you subscribed.

Will I get a refund if I cancel Fubo early?

Generally, no, you will not receive a refund if you cancel your Fubo subscription before the end of your current billing cycle. Fubo operates on a pre-paid subscription model, meaning you pay for access to the service for a specific period (usually a month). Cancellation simply stops your subscription from automatically renewing at the end of that paid period.

Even though you lose access to Fubo immediately upon cancellation, your subscription is still valid until the end of your billing cycle. You have already paid for service through that date. Fubo’s terms of service typically don’t include prorated refunds for partial months or unused time. Therefore, it’s best to cancel close to your renewal date to maximize your subscription time, if you know you will not need access in the future.

While refunds for early cancellation are rare, there might be exceptional circumstances where Fubo offers a refund. These situations are typically handled on a case-by-case basis and might involve technical issues that prevent you from using the service, or billing errors. To explore this possibility, you should contact Fubo customer support directly through their website or by phone and explain your situation. Be prepared to provide supporting documentation to support your claim.

Where in my account settings can I cancel Fubo?

You can cancel your Fubo subscription directly through your account settings on the Fubo website. Look for a “Subscription & Billing” or similar section, where you should find an option to cancel your plan.

Specifically, navigate to Fubo.tv in a web browser and sign in to your account. Once logged in, click on your profile icon or name, typically located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select “My Account.” This will take you to your account dashboard. Within the dashboard, look for a section labeled “Subscription & Billing” or simply “Subscription.” Here you will see details about your current plan, payment method, and billing cycle.

Within the “Subscription & Billing” section, you should find a clearly labeled button or link to “Cancel Subscription” or something similar. Clicking this will initiate the cancellation process. Fubo may present you with options to pause your subscription or switch to a different plan before fully canceling. Be sure to follow the on-screen prompts carefully to complete the cancellation and confirm that your subscription has indeed been canceled. You will likely receive a confirmation email as well.

Is there a Fubo cancellation fee?

No, Fubo does not charge a cancellation fee. You can cancel your Fubo subscription at any time without incurring any extra charges.

While Fubo doesn’t impose a cancellation fee, it’s important to understand the implications of canceling your subscription. Your access to Fubo’s streaming services will continue until the end of your current billing cycle. This means if you cancel mid-month, you can still enjoy Fubo for the remainder of the period you’ve already paid for. However, you will not receive a prorated refund for any unused portion of the billing cycle. Therefore, to maximize your subscription benefits, consider canceling close to the end of your billing cycle. You can find your billing cycle dates within your Fubo account settings. Remember to confirm the cancellation to avoid being charged for the next month. If you decide to resubscribe to Fubo in the future, you can easily do so through their website or app.

Can I cancel Fubo through the app or website?

Yes, you can cancel your Fubo subscription through either the Fubo website using a web browser or, in some cases, through the apps depending on how you subscribed. The specific steps vary slightly depending on your original method of sign-up.

To cancel via the website, sign in to your account at fubo.tv using a web browser. Navigate to your profile (often found by clicking on your avatar or name in the upper right corner), then find the “Subscription & Billing” section. Look for a clearly labeled “Cancel Subscription” button or link. Follow the prompts, which may include selecting a reason for canceling and confirming your choice. Be sure to check for any confirmation emails to ensure that your cancellation has been successfully processed. Note that cancellation through third-party billing, such as Roku, Amazon, or Apple, would require cancellation through their respective platform and NOT through the Fubo website.

If you subscribed directly through a Fubo app (e.g., on an iOS or Android device) and are billed through the app store, you’ll need to cancel the subscription through your device’s app store settings. This typically involves going to your Apple ID or Google Play account, managing your subscriptions, and canceling the Fubo subscription from there. The Fubo interface will show your subscription type. Canceling effectively stops future billing; you usually retain access to Fubo until the end of your current billing cycle.

How long does it take for Fubo to process my cancellation?

Fubo typically processes cancellations immediately after you complete the cancellation steps online or through customer support. You should receive a confirmation email shortly after confirming your cancellation. However, you will usually maintain access to Fubo until the end of your current billing cycle.

While the cancellation is processed instantly, meaning your account is flagged for non-renewal, your service continues until the pre-paid period expires. This means if you cancel halfway through a month you’ve already paid for, you can still watch Fubo for the remainder of that month. Check your confirmation email as it specifies the exact date your access will end.

If you don’t receive a confirmation email within a few hours of cancelling, it’s best to check your spam or junk folder. If it’s not there, contact Fubo customer support to confirm the cancellation was successful. Having confirmation protects you from being charged for another month should an error occur.

What happens to my recordings after I cancel Fubo?

Unfortunately, when you cancel your Fubo subscription, you will lose access to all of your recordings. Fubo does not offer a way to download or transfer your recordings to another service. All DVR content is tied directly to your active Fubo account.

This means that once your Fubo subscription ends, the cloud DVR storage associated with your account is deactivated and all of your previously saved programs are permanently deleted. It is essential to understand this before canceling, as there is no way to retrieve these recordings once they are gone. Consider this before you cancel, especially if you have programs you planned to watch or re-watch.

If you have recordings you want to keep, consider alternative solutions *before* you cancel Fubo. While Fubo doesn’t offer a direct download option, you *might* be able to record the content using external recording devices (though this often violates terms of service and may have legal ramifications regarding copyright). A more practical solution is subscribing to the service for an additional month specifically to watch the recordings you want to see, and then canceling. If you anticipate canceling soon, prioritize watching the DVR content as soon as possible.

And that’s all there is to it! Cancelling Fubo doesn’t have to be a headache. We hope this guide helped you through the process. Thanks for stopping by, and we hope to see you back here soon for more helpful tips and tricks!
