ESPN+ is easy to sign up for and sometimes hard to cancel — especially if you subscribed through the Disney Bundle or via an app store. Here's the complete guide to canceling ESPN+ on every platform, plus what happens to your access after you cancel.
How to Cancel ESPN+ on the Web (Fastest Method)
- Go to ESPN.com and sign in to your account
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select 'Manage Account' or 'Subscriptions'
- Click 'Cancel Subscription' next to ESPN+
- Follow the confirmation prompts — you may be offered a discount to stay
- Confirm cancellation — you'll receive a confirmation email
Your ESPN+ access continues until the end of your current billing period. You won't be charged again.
How to Cancel ESPN+ on iPhone or iPad (App Store Subscription)
If you signed up for ESPN+ through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple — not through ESPN's website:
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top, then 'Subscriptions'
- Find ESPN+ in the list and tap it
- Tap 'Cancel Subscription' and confirm
How to Cancel ESPN+ on Android (Google Play Subscription)
- Open the Google Play Store app
- Tap your profile icon and select 'Payments & subscriptions'
- Tap 'Subscriptions' and find ESPN+
- Tap 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts
How to Cancel the Disney Bundle (Includes ESPN+)
If you subscribe to the Disney Bundle (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+), canceling ESPN+ alone is not possible — you must cancel the entire bundle or downgrade to a bundle that doesn't include ESPN+:
- Go to DisneyPlus.com and sign in
- Go to Account > Subscription
- Select 'Change Plan' to downgrade to a Disney+/Hulu bundle without ESPN+
- Or select 'Cancel Subscription' to cancel the entire bundle
Can You Pause ESPN+ Instead of Canceling?
ESPN+ does not have a built-in pause feature. If you want to avoid paying during the off-season, the best approach is to cancel and resubscribe when you need it. ESPN+ lets you cancel and rejoin without losing your watchlist or history.
What Happens After You Cancel ESPN+?
- You keep access until the end of your current billing period
- Live sports and on-demand content remain available until then
- Your account settings and watchlist are saved if you resubscribe
- Downloaded content (if any) may become unavailable after cancellation
Can I Get a Refund When I Cancel ESPN+?
ESPN+ does not offer prorated refunds for cancellations mid-billing cycle. You'll receive access through your paid period end date but won't get money back for unused time. If you were charged unexpectedly or think the charge was in error, contact ESPN customer support directly.
When Is the Best Time to Cancel ESPN+?
Cancel right after the last game or event you want to watch. ESPN+ doesn't offer partial-month credits, so timing your cancellation just before renewal saves the most money. Check when your billing date is before canceling.
Alternatives to ESPN+ After You Cancel
- YouTube TV — includes ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 with no separate subscription
