How to Cancel Your Fubo Free Trial

Fubo is one of the most popular live TV streaming services for sports fans, with plans starting at $55.99/month and a 5-day free trial available to new subscribers. Canceling before that trial ends is straightforward — but the steps differ depending on how you signed up. The most important rule: you must cancel where you subscribed. Canceling through the Fubo website will not cancel a Roku subscription, and vice versa. Missing that distinction is the most common reason people get charged unexpectedly. Here is everything you need to know.

  Can you cancel Fubo before the free trial ends? Yes — you can cancel at any time during the trial. However, if you cancel while on a free trial, your access ends immediately rather than at the end of the trial period.

  Fubo’s official Help Center states clearly: “If you cancel your subscription while you are in your free trial period, your trial will expire immediately, and any remaining trial days will not be accessible.” This means canceling on day two of a 5-day trial ends your access right then, not after day five. The safest approach is to cancel close to — but before — the trial end date to maximize the trial period while ensuring you are not billed. You will still receive a confirmation of cancellation.

  How long is the Fubo free trial? The standard free trial is 5 days as of April 2026. It was previously 7 days. A 30-day trial is available exclusively through Best Buy for new subscribers.

  Fubo currently offers a 5-day free trial directly on its website and app for new subscribers on Pro, Elite, and Latino plans. The trial period changed from 7 days to 5 days at some point in recent history. CableTV.com (February 2026) and Rolling Stone (April 2026) both confirm 5 days as the current standard. A 30-day trial is available through Best Buy but is limited to the Pro plan and requires sign-up through Best Buy’s website. Trial availability is subject to change — always confirm the trial length on the checkout screen before entering payment information.

  Do you need to enter a credit card for the Fubo free trial? Yes — a valid credit or debit card is required to activate the Fubo free trial. Your card will be automatically charged when the trial ends if you do not cancel first.

  Fubo requires payment information at the start of the free trial to enable automatic billing if you do not cancel. This is standard practice for most streaming services. You are not charged during the trial period itself, but your card is on file and will be billed at the end of the trial at the full monthly rate of your chosen plan. To avoid any charge, cancel before the trial period expires. Always cancel at least 24 hours before the trial end date to allow for processing time, especially on third-party platforms like Roku or Apple where cancellations may take longer to process.

  Does Fubo offer refunds if you are charged accidentally? No — Fubo’s official policy is no refunds, even if you cancel partway through a billing cycle. Access continues until the end of the paid period.

  Fubo’s refund policy is consistent and confirmed across multiple sources including Goal.com (March 2026): there are no refunds for cancellations. If you forget to cancel before the trial ends and are billed for the first month, you will keep access to Fubo until the end of that billing cycle, but you will not receive a refund for the unused portion. The only exception to explore is contacting Fubo’s customer support via live chat (available 10 AM–10 PM ET) if a billing error occurred — such as a double charge or a technical failure during cancellation. Fubo support can be reached through the Help Center at support.fubo.tv.

  Does canceling Fubo cost a fee? No — there is no cancellation fee of any kind. Fubo has no annual contracts and no early termination penalties.

  Fubo explicitly markets its service as having “no cancellation fees” alongside its “no contracts” and “no equipment fees” messaging. You can cancel the same day you sign up with no financial penalty beyond the portion of the month you have already used (for paid subscriptions). This distinguishes Fubo from traditional cable contracts that charge early termination fees of $100 or more. Canceling a free trial before the trial ends results in zero charges.

  Why is Fubo not letting me unsubscribe? The most common reason is that you are trying to cancel in the wrong place. You must cancel through the same platform where you subscribed — Fubo website, Roku, iPhone/Apple, or Android.

  Fubo’s official Help Center is explicit: “The steps to cancel your paid or free trial account vary based on how you signed up and you must complete all steps before your account is cancelled.” If you subscribed through Roku and try to cancel on the Fubo website, you will not find a cancel button — the account details page will show “Roku Subscription” and you must go to Roku to cancel. If you subscribed through Apple (iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV), you must cancel through your iPhone Settings → Subscriptions. The app deletion trick does not work: deleting the Fubo app from your device does not cancel your subscription.

  How do I cancel my Fubo subscription on my phone? On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Fubo → Cancel Subscription. On Android: Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → Fubo → Cancel.

  The phone cancellation method only applies if you subscribed through the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). If you originally signed up on the Fubo website, even on your phone’s browser, you need to cancel through the Fubo website rather than through your phone’s subscription settings. On iOS: the subscription manager is found in Settings (the gear icon), not inside the Fubo app itself. On Android: the cancellation is managed through the Google Play Store app, not the Fubo app.

  Will I still have access to Fubo after canceling a paid subscription? Yes — for a paid subscription, access continues until the end of the current billing cycle. For a free trial, access ends immediately when you cancel.

  This is one of the most important distinctions in Fubo’s cancellation policy. For paid subscribers: canceling sets your account to non-renewing, but you keep full access to all channels, DVR recordings, and features through the last day you have paid for. The Subscription page will show a “Renew” button instead of a cancel confirmation, and the exact termination date will be displayed. For free trial subscribers: access ends the moment you confirm cancellation — no remaining trial days are preserved. Plan accordingly and use the trial fully before canceling.

  Can I pause my Fubo subscription instead of canceling? Yes — Fubo offers a “Pause Subscription” option for up to three months for direct subscribers. This lets you take a break without losing your account settings.

  Fubo’s pause feature is available through the website for subscribers who signed up directly through Fubo (not through a third-party like Roku). During a pause, your account is suspended, you are not billed, and your DVR recordings and account settings are preserved. The pause is available for up to three months. This is a good alternative to canceling if you plan to return — for example, pausing during the off-season for sports. To access the pause option, start the cancellation flow on the website and look for the “Pause Subscription” prompt before completing cancellation.

  How do I confirm that my Fubo cancellation went through? You should receive a confirmation email. You can also verify in your Fubo account: the Subscription page will show your termination date or a “Renew” button instead of billing details.

  Fubo’s official guidance on confirming cancellation: “If your account is set to cancel, meaning you will continue to have access to Fubo through the end of your current billing cycle, the Account Information page will show the date and time your subscription will terminate.” For free trial cancellations, access ends immediately and the account will reflect canceled status. Always check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation message — and check your spam folder if it does not appear promptly. Logging back into your account to verify the status is the surest confirmation step, as the Help Center notes that simply logging in will not reactivate a canceled account.
