How to cancel Fubo through your account settings

You can cancel Fubo directly through the app or website without calling customer service. Log into your Fubo account, go to Account Settings, select Subscription or Billing, and look for a Cancel Subscription option. The exact menu path varies slightly between the app and web version, but both routes lead to the same cancellation screen.

When you reach the cancellation page, Fubo will show you your current plan, the date your next charge is due, and what happens to your access when you cancel. You'll be asked to confirm the cancellation and may see retention offers — discounted rates or free trial extensions designed to keep you subscribed. You can accept these or proceed with cancellation. After you confirm, you should receive an email confirmation with your cancellation date.

Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you're charged on the 15th of each month and cancel on the 8th, you keep full access through the 14th. Cancelling does not refund the charge you've already paid for the current period.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through Account Settings on the Fubo app or website — no phone call needed.
  • Your service continues through the end of your current billing cycle, even after you cancel.
  • Fubo may offer discounts or free time to keep you subscribed; you can decline these and proceed with cancellation.
  • You will receive an email confirmation showing your final access date.
  • Cancelling does not refund charges already paid for your current billing period.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Once your billing cycle ends, you lose access to live TV, on-demand content, and any cloud DVR recordings you've saved. Fubo does not delete your account immediately — your login credentials remain valid for a period, which means you can reactivate your subscription without creating a new account if you change your mind later.

The length of time Fubo keeps your account active after cancellation varies. Some streaming services hold inactive accounts for 6 to 12 months before purging them; Fubo's exact policy is not always clearly stated in their terms. If you want to preserve your account settings, watchlist, and DVR recordings, contact Fubo support to ask about their inactive account policy before you cancel.

Pausing your subscription instead of cancelling

Fubo does not offer a formal pause or freeze option the way some streaming services do. If you want to stop paying temporarily without losing your account, your options are limited. You can cancel and reactivate later, though this means losing any saved DVR content and resetting your watchlist.

Before you cancel, ask Fubo support whether they can temporarily reduce your plan to a lower tier — some customer service representatives have authority to move you to a cheaper option for a set period. This keeps your account active and your recordings intact while lowering your monthly charge. This is not a may provide option, but it's worth requesting before you cancel outright.

Cancelling a free trial before the charge begins

If you signed up for a free trial, you must cancel before the trial period ends to avoid being charged. Fubo will show your trial end date in Account Settings under Subscription. Cancel using the same Account Settings menu described above — the process is identical whether you're on a paid plan or a free trial.

Free trials typically last 7 days, though promotional offers sometimes extend this to 30 days. Check your confirmation email or Account Settings to see your exact trial end date. Cancelling during the trial gives you access through the last day of the trial period at no charge.

Refunds and what you cannot recover

Fubo does not refund charges for the current billing period, even if you cancel on the first day after being charged. If you were charged on the 1st and cancel on the 2nd, you've paid for the full month and will not receive a partial refund. This is standard practice for most streaming services.

If you were charged in error — for example, you cancelled but were still charged, or you were double-charged — contact Fubo support with your billing statement. They can investigate and issue a refund if the charge was a mistake on their end. Keep your confirmation emails and billing records as proof of what you paid and when.

Reactivating your Fubo account later

You can reactivate a cancelled Fubo account by logging back in with your original email and password. Fubo will ask you to choose a plan and enter payment information again. Your account history, watchlist, and preferences may or may not be restored depending on how long your account has been inactive — this varies by how Fubo manages deleted accounts.

When you reactivate, you start a new billing cycle. If you cancelled mid-month and reactivate later, you're not charged for the time you were away. Fubo may offer a promotional rate for returning customers, though this is not may provide. Check what plan options and pricing are shown when you log back in.

If you cannot find the cancel option

If the cancellation button is not visible in your Account Settings, try logging out and back in, or clear your browser cache if you're using the web version. Sometimes the interface takes a moment to load fully. If you're using the app, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

If the cancel option still does not appear, contact Fubo support through the Help section of your account or through their website. Provide your account email and the last four digits of your payment method. Support can cancel your subscription on your behalf, though this may take 24 to 48 hours to process. Request written confirmation of the cancellation date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Fubo does not refund unused portions of your current billing period. You keep access through the end of that period, but you will not receive money back for the days remaining after you cancel.

Can I cancel through email or phone?

You can cancel through the app or website yourself. If you prefer to cancel by phone or email, contact Fubo support and they can process it for you, though this may take longer than self-service cancellation. Self-service is usually faster and gives you immediate confirmation.

What happens to my DVR recordings after I cancel?

Your cloud DVR recordings are deleted when your subscription ends. They are not saved or transferred anywhere. If you want to keep content, you must download or record it before your access ends — Fubo does not allow downloads of recorded shows.

How long does it take for cancellation to take effect?

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If your next charge date is the 20th and you cancel on the 10th, your access continues through the 19th. You will lose access on the 20th.

Can I cancel and get a pro-rated refund if I'm unhappy?

Fubo does not offer pro-rated refunds or satisfaction guarantees. If you're unhappy with the service, you can cancel, but you will not receive money back for the current billing period. Most free trials are long enough to test the service before you're charged.
