How to cancel Fubo: we reached a human after its AI assistant
We called Fubo twice to ask how cancellation works. Here are the website steps, the route past its automated assistant, and what a human told us about verification and billing.

To cancel Fubo, first check who manages your subscription. A human at Fubo told us direct subscribers can cancel on the Fubo website or call (844) 441 3826. If Roku manages the subscription, cancel through Roku. The representative said the Fubo mobile app has no cancellation control.
We called on Saturday, October 3, 2026, with call4me asking general questions. The first attempt ended with Fubo's automated assistant. The second reached a human after we explicitly asked for one twice and chose customer service. We did not have a subscription to cancel, and no account was changed.
How to cancel a Fubo subscription online #
For subscriptions managed directly by Fubo, its US cancellation guide gives this route:
- Sign in at fubo.tv and choose a profile.
- Open the settings icon, then My Account.
- Choose Subscription, scroll down and select Cancel.
- If a discount offer appears, select Cancel Subscription to continue cancelling.
- Wait for the confirmation page.
The human we spoke with also directed subscribers to the website. Having the Fubo app on an iPhone or Android phone does not mean the app manages the billing. Use a browser if you cannot find a cancellation option in the app.
Not sure who manages the subscription? Fubo's guide says to check fubo.tv/subscription: a subscription managed by Roku is labelled Roku Subscription.
Can you cancel Fubo by phone? #
Yes, for a direct subscription. The representative said support can cancel it in their system after verification using the account email and the last four digits of the payment card.
Fubo publishes (844) 441 3826 for phone support, open 10 am to 10 pm Eastern, seven days a week, with possible holiday changes. Those hours come from its contact page, checked October 3, rather than from our representative.
How we reached a human at Fubo #
The route on our second call was:
- The opening menu offered 1 for English and 2 for Spanish.
- After the recording notice, Alex introduced itself as Fubo's AI assistant and requested the billing ZIP code and last four card digits.
- We asked to be transferred to a human customer service representative for a general cancellation question.
- Alex offered to answer instead and warned that a representative might take five minutes or more. We repeated our request for a human representative or supervisor.
- Alex offered customer service, technical support, sales or cancellation. We chose customer service, and it transferred us to a person.
That five minute warning was the assistant's estimate, not our measured wait. General questions were answered without an account lookup. An actual cancellation needs verification.
The first attempt shows why the distinction matters. We asked for a representative but then accepted Alex's offer to answer. When we asked about free trial timing, the automated assistant said it could not help and the call ended. The cancellation answers below come from the human on our second call or the named official policy, not that failed attempt.
Does cancelling a Fubo free trial end it immediately? #
For a trial taken directly through Fubo, yes. The representative said cancellation takes effect immediately and the remaining trial days are forfeited. For a paid plan, they said access continues until the end of the paid billing period.
There is an important exception: Fubo's cancellation policy says a Roku free trial continues until its scheduled end after cancellation. That exception is website evidence; the representative did not explain it during our call.
How to cancel Fubo on Roku #
The representative said subscriptions started through Roku must be cancelled through Roku. Roku's current subscription instructions give these options:
- Online: open my.roku.com/subscriptions, select the active Fubo subscription, then Manage subscription and Turn off auto renew. Follow any confirmation prompts.
- On the device: highlight Fubo in the Apps section, press the remote's Star button, choose Manage subscription, then Turn off auto renew. Enter a subscription PIN if prompted.
Fubo's own guide still uses older labels such as Unsubscribe and Cancel subscription. Roku's instructions were updated September 14, 2026. Follow the confirmation shown in your account and save it.
Does Fubo refund prepaid or unused time? #
We asked the representative about prepaid charges. They referred refunds to another department and did not establish eligibility.
Fubo's published policy says it does not refund prepaid or partial months. Most plans have no cancellation fee, but a promotional offer with a commitment period can carry an early cancellation fee. Check the terms of your own offer before assuming cancellation is free.
How do you confirm Fubo cancellation or resolve a later charge? #
The representative said a successful cancellation produces an email confirmation. Save it with the cancellation date and any support reference.
Fubo's guide also says the Subscription page shows an end date and time when cancellation is scheduled. An ended subscription shows reactivation options. Merely logging in does not reactivate it.
If a charge appears after cancellation, the representative said billing handles the issue. Contact support with your confirmation and the charge details, and ask them to explain which account and service period the charge belongs to. Our calls did not test a billing dispute or obtain a refund.

1:26 Fubo AI assistant: To cancel online, a U.S. customer can sign in at Fubo.tv slash account and follow the cancellation steps in their account settings.

0:32 Fubo AI assistant: Hello and thank you for calling Fubo. I'm [representative name removed], Fubo's AI Assistant. I'll need to look up your account. Could you provide your billing zip code and the last four digits of your payment card?

2:05 Call4me: Hi. This is [name removed]’s assistant.
2:10 Representative: Nice, [unclear]. If in case you got disconnected, use your number that ends in [phone digits removed] to call back.
2:18 Call4me: Actually, if we get cut off, could you please use this number instead? [phone number removed] [phone number removed] That's the right one to reach us.
2:32 Representative: Thank you. Just to confirm... Thank you. Just to confirm, it is [phone number removed], correct?
2:39 Call4me: That's correct.
2:42 Representative: Thank you. How can I help?
2:44 Call4me: I have a general question. How does someone in the US cancel Fubo online or by phone?
2:52 Representative: Yeah. So, first, that will depend on how they signed up. If they signed up on Roku TV, they need to cancel it on the Roku TV itself. If they signed up directly on our website or on the Fubo app on their phone, they should do it on the Fubo website directly because we don't have a cancellation option on the Fubo app.
3:20 Representative: Or we can cancel the account on our system.
3:24 Call4me: Okay. What if they're billed through Apple instead? What do they need to do?
3:32 Representative: Let me check if we do have the option to bill customer by Apple because we don't have that option yet, I believe, but let me check. Do you know the email for the account by any chance?
3:43 Call4me: Oh, we don't have an account. This is just for a general cancellation guide.
3:50 Representative: Okay. Yeah, we don't do Apple bill yet. Basically, we accept, like, debit credit card, and if they signed up using their card system, they can cancel it on the website directly.
4:05 Call4me: Ah, okay. And what verification is usually needed to cancel?
4:11 Representative: If they're going to call a customer service, basically, we need the email for the account along with the last four of the card that they have used to sign up with us so that we can cancel it here on our system. If the customer will do it by themselves, they just need to log in on the website, and that's it.
4:33 Call4me: Okay, and when does cancellation take effect for a paid plan versus a free trial?
4:40 Representative: If they signed up for the free trial and they would like to cancel the account, it will take effect immediately. So let's say they signed up, hypothetical only, A five day free trial. If they cancel the account on the second day, it means that they're going to forfeit the remaining days. That's the free trial option. And if they signed up already on a full membership, if, let's say, their billing starts on the 30th of each month and they decided to cancel the account on the second of next month, it means that at the 30th of that next month will be the last day that they get the service. That's it.
5:25 Call4me: Okay, that helps. And what happens with prepaid charges if someone asks for a refund after canceling?
5:36 Representative: That will depend on our other department to take care of that.
5:41 Call4me: Gotcha. And if they see a charge after they've canceled, how can they resolve that?
5:47 Representative: If we have our billing department to resolve that. And by the way, just a heads up, once a customer was able to successfully cancel the account, they're going to receive an email confirmation.
6:02 Call4me: Great, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. Bye.
6:07 Representative: You're welcome. Do you have other questions I can check for you?
6:11 Call4me: No, that covers it. Thanks again. Bye.
Common Fubo cancellation questions #
Can I cancel Fubo on my iPhone or Android phone? #
Use a web browser for a direct subscription. Our representative said the Fubo app does not have a cancellation option. If another company manages the subscription, follow that company's route instead.
Can Fubo support cancel a Roku subscription? #
Our representative directed Roku subscribers to Roku. Check who manages your subscription before calling so that you reach the right company.
Is uninstalling the Fubo app enough? #
Use the cancellation route and get confirmation. The representative described an account action on the website or through verified phone support; removing an app was not a cancellation method.
What if I cannot find the cancel button? #
Check the billing provider and try the website rather than the mobile app. For a direct subscription, call support with the account email and last four card digits. Ask for a human if the automated assistant cannot resolve it.
Have your agent make this call #
call4me lets your AI agent make a phone call and report back. See real call examples or connect your agent. For an actual cancellation, give your agent the account details and the actions you authorize:
Call Fubo at (844) 441 3826. Ask for a human customer service representative. If the automated assistant offers to answer, repeat that I need a human and choose customer service when offered departments. My account email is [email] and the payment card ends in [last four digits]. Confirm whether Fubo or Roku manages my subscription, when cancelling would end access, and whether my offer has a commitment or cancellation fee. If Fubo manages it, cancel my subscription and confirm the final service date and confirmation email. Ask me before accepting an offer, charge or plan change.
If you are clearing other recurring subscriptions, our recorded guides cover Audible cancellation and credits, Fabletics membership cancellation, Factor meal plan cancellation and HelloFresh cancellation before the next box.
