Hi there! Recently, you reached out with questions about how to cancel your FuboTV subscription. As a streaming analyst closely following industry trends, I‘m happy to provide this step-by-step guide tailored specifically to your needs. I‘ll make canceling FuboTV simple and discuss options beyond full cancellation as well.
Why Consumers Cancel Streaming Services
First, some background. As you know, FuboTV has quickly emerged as a top live TV streaming provider thanks to its focus on sports. However, with monthly prices ranging from $70-$100, paying for FuboTV over the long term results in a hefty bill.
According to Parks Associates research, nearly 40% of US broadband households currently subscribe to four or more OTT video services. With so many monthly costs adding up, it‘s no wonder consumers take a hard look at where to cut back.
In fact, 66% of cord cutters say they canceled a streaming TV service in 2022 to save money. Perhaps as prices increase, cancellation rates seem likely to grow.
Below I‘ll walk through exactly how to cancel FuboTV subscription through their website or Roku channel. But first, let‘s discuss your alternatives beyond fully discontinuing service.
Pausing FuboTV Subscription
If cost savings is your primary goal but you still see value in FuboTV, you might consider temporarily pausing your subscription instead of permanently disconnecting service.
FuboTV does give subscribers the option to pause an account for 1-2 months without losing your preferences or recorded content. This stops further billing until you resume service again.
Pausing gives you financial flexibility if money is tight in the short term. And it avoids losing settings that took time to customize to your interests. However, pausing is only helpful if you plan to eventually restart the FuboTV subscription.
Next, let‘s walk through how to fully cancel FuboTV if you decide it‘s no longer providing enough value versus price paid.
Step 1: Access Your FuboTV Account Page
To start the FuboTV cancellation process, you first need access your account management page through either:
FuboTV Website
- Visit FuboTV.com and login with your account credentials
- Click your profile icon in upper right and select "My Account"
Roku FuboTV App
- From Roku home screen, navigate to the FuboTV channel
- Press "*" button on remote to open More Options menu
- Choose "Manage Subscription"
See below images for reference:
This will bring up your account details, billing information, subscription plan, and settings.
Step 2: Navigate To "Subscription & Billing"
From your account page, choose "Subscription & Billing" (website) or "Subscription Details" (Roku app):
FuboTV Website: On left menu, select Subscription & Billing
Roku App: Select Subscription Details
Here you can see payment methods, current billing details, next payment date, and subscription package.
Now it‘s time to pick the nuclear option – full cancellation!
Step 3: Select "Cancel Subscription“
On this subscription management page you‘ll find the fateful button to cancel FuboTV membership once and for all:
FuboTV Website: Select Cancel Subscription at bottom
Roku App: Choose Cancel Subscription near top
See the subscription expiration policies I referenced earlier. At this point FuboTV may promote discounted offers to keep your business. If you‘re sure cancellation is right, skip these deals.
Step 4: Confirm Cancellation Decision
After selecting cancellation, one last warning popup appears, showing:
- Date subscription and billing access will end
- Option to confirm cancellation decision
- Link to redeem any special offers instead
This is the final point where you can change your mind. If set cancelling, verify cancellation one last time.
Step 5: Provide Feedback (Optional)
Once confirmed, FuboTV may ask you to take a short survey detailing why you chose to cancel service. Providing feedback is optional and helps FuboTV improve products.
Finally, a cancellation confirmation screen appears detailing the expiration date when your FuboTV access ends based on your billing cycle.
At this point, cancellation is successfully completed! You‘ll continue enjoying full FuboTV subscription features until the expiration data.
Now let‘s dive into frequently asked questions around FuboTV pricing and how it stacks up to competitors.
FuboTV Pricing Breakdown
When considering cancellation, FuboTV‘s subscription cost is often the deciding factor. Here‘s a pricing comparison across their package tiers:
| Package | Monthly Price | Content Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $69.99 | 124 channels, 1,000 hour DVR |
| Elite | $79.99 | 184 channels, 1,000 hour DVR |
| Ultimate | $99.99 | 214 channels, 1,000 hour DVR |
As you can see, accessing all FuboTV‘s content starts at nearly $70 per month – not insignificant!
Reviewing alternate services, YouTube TV offers 85+ channels for only $64.99 monthly. Hulu Live TV sits at $69.99 each month for 75+ channels.
Clearly FuboTV is at the premium end pricing wise. For sports fans, this elevated cost provides unmatched sports coverage. But if sports isn‘t a priority, cheaper alternatives area available.
Why Do Subscribers Leave FuboTV?
When asked in cancellation surveys, these are the primary reasons consumers decide to cut ties with FuboTV:
- 37% leave to save money each month
- 18% claim channel or content library is insufficient
- 16% cite poor streaming quality/reliability
- 13% complain about restrictions on streaming devices/TVs
Reviewing this feedback explains why researching the fine print around channel availability, supported devices, and streaming quality is key before subscribing.
As streaming analyst extraordinaire David Waterhouse notes:
"FuboTV sits squarely in the upper bracket for premium streaming services regarding monthly pricing and overall features offered to justify costs. Given ongoing inflation in content licensing, I expect Fubo‘s prices will only continue rising over time like all competitors. That leaves consumers constantly re-evaluating if each service provides tangible value."
