How to cancel your ESPN+ subscription

Disney has recently confirmed a price increase for ESPN+ by a dollar a month beginning in August, bringing it up to $6.99 (and from $59.99 to $69.99 for the yearly subscription). If you were already hesitant about paying for ESPN+ (especially in off seasons) or you’d like to try a different sports app, you may be wondering how to cancel the service. Here’s how to get it done fast, with tips on canceling through Google Play, Apple, or Roku as needed.

Note: ESPN+ does not offer refunds or credits for partially used billing periods. Your current month’s fees are already gone for good — but if you want to save money next month, it’s important to act now.

Cancel on your web browser

The ESPN+ login page.

This method is designed for those who signed up directly on the ESPN+ website or otherwise have an ESPN+ login that you can use. It’s simple and direct!

Step 1: Head to your login page and log in with your ESPN+ information.

Step 2: Select your Profile icon in the upper-right corner of the ESPN+ screen.

Step 3: Select your ESPN+ Subscription from the left-side menu, and confirm that you want to Manage it.

Step 4: You’ll now see your subscription details. On this menu, choose Cancel Subscription.

Step 5: Select Finish and ESPN+ will be canceled. You will receive an email confirming that the cancellation worked.

Note that ESPN+ will generally remember your login information even after your cancellation. This will allow you to reactivate an ESPN+ subscription in the future. That may be an attractive option if you are only interested in signing up for a specific season, so keep your login information around for next time.

Cancel with the Google Play Store

Did you sign up through your Android device or download and subscribe to the app from the Google Play Store? Here’s how to quickly unsubscribe the same way.

Step 1: Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device (you can also do this from other devices, although the steps may vary slightly).

Step 2: Look for the three-line Hamburger menu icon in the top-left corner and select it, then select Subscriptions.

Step 3: You should now be able to see all your current subscriptions. Select ESPN+ from the list.

Step 4: Select Cancel Subscription to end the service and stop payments.

Cancel with Apple/iOS

Subscription access on iOS screen.

Those who signed up through Apple’s interface on an iOS device can quickly cancel ESPN+ in the same way. We have a full guide to canceling Apple subscriptions this way, but if you want the quick details, here’s what to do:

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iOS device.

Step 2: At the top, select your Name to see your Apple ID settings. You may need to sign in to your Apple account at this point.

Step 3: Choose Subscriptions from the first menu at the top of your profile.

Step 4: The new window should now should your current subscriptions through Apple. Select ESPN+ to continue.

Step 5: Select Cancel Subscription and confirm that’s what you want to do.

Cancel with Roku

The Roku login page.

Those who signed up via Roku can also choose to cancel the same way. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Head to the Roku login page and log in with your information. It’s easiest to do this on your computer with this link, but you can also manage subscriptions from your Roku platform on your TV.

Step 2: Select Manage Your Subscriptions from the menu.

Step 3: View your subscriptions and their terms to find ESPN+. Select Unsubscribe next to the app.

Step 4: Confirm that you want to end your ESPN+ subscription.

Bundling options for ESPN+

Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Plus logos.

Disney is also encouraging bundling multiple streaming services by keeping its ESPN+ bundle price the same if you also package in Hulu and Disney+. That’s a viable option if you want to combine services or are interested in adding a new service while keeping your old ESPN pricing. We have a guide on what you should know about this particular bundle before you buy.

If you already have ESPN+ via the bundle and want to opt-out even though the price is the same, you will have to log into Disney+ and unsubscribe from your bundle entirely, wait until the latest period ends, and subscribe to services individually.

How we test headphones and earbuds

Our evaluation of headphone and earbuds begins the moment the product lands on our desk. We take note of the product’s packaging and presentation before diving into the unboxing.
Out of the box

Nicely packaged products can have an effect on your overall experience. But we're a lot less concerned with beauty and design than we are with a box's impact on the planet. Even a $1,000 set of headphones can be packaged responsibly -- with fully recyclable materials -- without compromising the protection offered. In 2023, most companies do a good job of this, but we'll definitely single out the ones that are still relying on heaps of plastic and foam.

How we test AV receivers
The McIntosh MHT300 Home Theater Receiver.

Nothing beats the sound of an excellent audio/video receiver. When done right, they can bring power, depth, dynamics, and spaciousness to movies, sports, TV shows, and music. And whether you're looking for a stereo receiver or integrated amplifier to drive your favorite turntable or digital music streaming services, or going full-bore AV receiver for that Dolby Atmos surround sound home theater experience, all the bells and whistles that get crammed into a single box of awesomeness need to be tested for sound, setup, functionality, and ease of use, among other traits.

This is, generally speaking, how we test an AV receiver.

How to pick the best TV for sports: what to look for and things to avoid
how to pick the best tv for sports

I get asked a lot of questions like “What’s the best TV for sports?” and “What’s important to look for when buying a TV if I watch mostly sports?” and “Hey, Caleb, I’m at the TV store right now and I’m about to buy this TV, am I making a mistake?”

So, let’s talk about what makes one TV better than another for watching sports, what to look for, what to ignore when shopping for a new TV, and why anyone who says that “buying a TV just for sports is dumb” probably means well, but is also totally wrong.
