Updated August 30, 2019

The ESPN+ streaming service provides access to live events from multiple sports and leagues, including MLB, MLS, the NHL, a number of global soccer and tennis options, as well as boxing and UFC matches. But there may be times during the year, or even just in general, when you're no longer interested in ESPN+. The steps below walk you through how to cancel your ESPN+ (Plus) subscription.

The cancellation instructions below are applicable no matter which device(s) or platform(s) you utilize to stream ESPN+ content.

How to Cancel ESPN+

Unlike some subscription services, you can cancel your ESPN subscription pretty easily. Follow these steps to end your service:

New subscribers are offered a 7-day free trial of ESPN+, after which your preferred payment method is automatically billed each month or year, depending on your plan. If you cancel your account prior to the trial period expiring, you won't be charged.

Open a web browser and navigate to the ESPN+ website, logging in with your name and password if needed.
If you’re using a computer, hover your mouse cursor over the Menu icon, represented by a silhouette and located in the upper right-hand corner of the page. If you’re on a tablet or smartphone, tap the Menu icon.
When the pop-out menu appears, select ESPN+ Subscription.
Select Manage.
Your subscription details should now be displayed. Scroll down, if necessary, then Select Cancel Subscription.

Your account will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle or 7-day free trial period, if you’ve yet to be charged for a month. Accessing ESPN+ content during this time will not cause your subscription to be renewed.
You’ll now be asked if you’re sure you want to cancel your subscription. Select Finish.
A message should now appear, noting your ESPN+ subscription has been cancelled. You'll also receive a confirmation email.

Other Cancellation Methods

There are other ways to cancel your ESPN+ service if you don’t want to use the method above:

Email: Send an email to support@espnplus.com containing your account details along with your cancellation request. This email should be sent from the account used to create your ESPN+ account and should contain all pertinent account details, with the exception of your password and credit card number, if applicable.
Phone: You can also cancel your subscription the old fashioned way by calling 1-800-727-1800.

How to Reactivate your ESPN+ account

After cancellation, your account information remains intact for an indefinite period, allowing you to quickly reactivate your account at a later date. Simply follow the steps above until you’re prompted to reinstate your subscription, confirming the desired plan and payment details.
