How to cancel ESPN Unlimited or ESPN Select

Last verified (cancel steps): September 20, 2026.

Both tiers run through the same ESPN account system, so the cancellation flow is identical: log in at espn.com, open My Subscriptions, choose Cancel Subscription, and confirm. It takes about three minutes. Unlimited is $31.99/mo and Select is $13.99/mo as of September 2026. The Disney Bundle Trio at $21.99/mo with ads bundles Select with Disney+ and Hulu.

TL;DR

Difficulty: 2/5
Time estimate: 3 minutes

One flow cancels both tiers at espn.com in about three minutes. The only fork is who bills you: bundle, app-store, and provider billing all cancel somewhere else.

Step-by-step

On the web (fastest):

Log in at espn.com.
Open your profile menu → My Subscriptions → Manage (or go straight to ESPN's subscription management page).
Select Cancel Subscription.
Follow the prompts to confirm.

In the ESPN app: Settings → Subscriptions → Cancel Subscription.

Billing-specific instructions:

Billed through the Disney Bundle (Disney+/Hulu/ESPN Select): Cancel in your Disney+ account under Subscription, not at espn.com.
Billed through Apple: iPhone/iPad → Settings → your name → Subscriptions → ESPN → Cancel Subscription.
Billed through Google Play: Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → ESPN → Cancel subscription.
Billed through Roku: Roku home → highlight the ESPN channel → press * → Manage subscription → Cancel subscription.
Billed through Amazon: Cancel in your Amazon account under Memberships & Subscriptions.

Traps to expect

The downgrade detour: Canceling Unlimited steers you toward dropping to Select ($13.99/mo) instead. That is a legitimate option if you only watch ESPN Select (formerly ESPN+) content, but don't click through it on autopilot if you meant to cancel outright.
Annual plans: Canceling stops renewal; the remaining months are not refunded. Time your cancellation for shortly before renewal.
Pay-TV access: If you get ESPN Unlimited through a YouTube TV or cable login at no extra charge, there is nothing to cancel. Just sign out of the ESPN app.

Retention offers

The cancel flow's save move is a downgrade, not a discount:

Downgrade to Select: Canceling Unlimited steers you toward Select at $13.99/mo instead of leaving. Verdict: legitimate if you only watch ESPN Select (formerly ESPN+) content, but a clean cancel wins for a real break.

Select vs Unlimited: which you have comes down to content: Select covers the ESPN+ library at $13.99/month, while Unlimited at $31.99/month adds the full ESPN offering. See what ESPN Select costs now or what ESPN Unlimited costs now.

After you cancel

Your profiles and favorites persist on the account; Disney accounts stay intact after canceling.

Coming back

Resubscribe at espn.com. Check the Disney Bundle Trio first: $21.99/mo with ads gets you ESPN Select alongside Disney+ and Hulu, which beats standalone Select if you want all three.
