Canceling due to the NBC Universal dispute?

If you are looking to cancel because you have suddenly lost access to NBC, USA Network, Bravo, or your local NBC Sports Regional Network, you are not alone.

As of January 2026 Fubo remains in an active carriage dispute with NBCUniversal. This means the following channels are currently blacked out on the platform:

• Local NBC Stations (Missing Sunday Night Football and local news)
• USA Network (Missing Premier League & WWE)
• NBC Sports RSNs (Missing local Celtics, Warriors, Kings, and Blackhawks games)
• Golf Channel & Bravo

Before you cancel: Check your latest billing statement. Fubo has implement temporary price adjustments for many affected subscribers to compensate for this loss. However, if these channels are non-negotiable for you - especially for NFL playoffs or NBA regular season games - you will need to switch to a provider like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DirecTV Stream, all of which currently carry the full NBCUniversal portfolio.

Can I pause my Fubo subscription?

No, unfortunately there is no freezing option for your streaming subscription to Fubo. Instead, you will have to cancel your current paid-for subscription plan and reactivate it when you wish to resume using the streaming platform.

How to cancel Fubo via the App Store or Google Play

fubo

A large number of Fubo users subscribe to the service directly through the App Store or Google Play. If you fall under this category and you are looking to cancel via the website, you are likely seeing an error message telling you to manage you subscription through those services instead.

Via the App Store, you will need to open Settings on iPhone or iPad. From there, tap [Your Name] at the very top of the screen and head into Subscriptions. Fubo will be among the list, so once you see it, give it a click and tap Cancel Subscription.

The steps are pretty similar if you are an Android user. Simply open the Google Play Store, tap your Profile Icon, go into Payment & Subscriptions > Subscriptions > Select Fubo > Hit Cancel Subscription.

It is worth noting that, in both cases, cancelling via Apple or Google cuts off your access immediately if you are on a free trial. If you are on a paid subscription, you will still have access until the end of your next billing cycle.

Fubo subscriptions and special deals

In case you're unsure whether you want to cancel your fubo subscription, here's a recap of the plans the TV provider offers.

Fubo has three types of subscriptions, Pro, Elite and Latino (which is Spanish language) to choose from, meaning you can downgrade if you wanted to pay less.

Does Fubo offer a refund policy?

No, Fubo does not generally offer refunds. If you forget to cancel before the next renewal date, you are likely stuck paying for the rest of that month.

Looking for a Fubo alternative?

If you are cancelling Fubo, you don't have to go back to cable.

Here are the top three sports-focused alternatives we recommend for 2026, depending on your budget and which teams you follow. For a full deep dive, check out GOAL's guide to the best sports streaming services.

Best Overall Value: YouTube TV

If you want the most "like-for-like" replacement for Fubo without the hidden fees, YouTube TV is the top contender. 

• Why switch: Unlike Fubo, YouTube TV carried TNT and TBS, making it essential for NBA and NHL fans. It is also the exclusive home of the NFL Sunday Ticket.
• The Price: $72.99/mo (Base Plan)
• Key Sports Features: Unlimited DVR storage, Key Plays feature (catch up on highlights instantly), and generally lower latency (lag) than competitors.

Best for Regional Sports (RSNs): DirecTV Stream

The biggest reason fans stick with Fubo is for Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) to watch local MLB, NBA, or NHL games. If you are leaving Fubo but still need your local Bally Sports, YES Network, or MSG, DirecTV Stream is your safest bet.

• Why switch: It has the most comprehensive list of RSNs of any streaming provider. If Fubo dropped your local team, DirecTV likely has them.
• The Price: Packages start higher (approx. $108.99/mo for the "Choice" package required for RSNs), but it includes almost every channel a sports fan needs.
• Key Sports Features: A traditional grid guide that feels just like cable, making it an easy transition for family members.

Best Budget Option: Sling TV

If Fubo became too expensive and you can only really care about specific sport (like just Premier League or just NBA), Sling TV lets you strip away the fluff. 

• Why switch: It is significantly cheaper. You can choose the "Orange" plan (ESPN focused) or "Blue" plan (FOX / NBC focused) depending on your preference.
• The Price: Starts at $40/mo - less than half the cost of Fubo
• Key Sports Features: Flexible month-to-month billing means you can subscribe for the football season and cancel when it ends without penalty.
