You can delete your Fubo TV account through the app or website, but cancellation and deletion are two different steps
Deleting your Fubo TV account is not the same as canceling your subscription. When you cancel, you stop paying but your account stays in the system. When you delete, Fubo removes your account data — though they keep some information for billing and legal reasons. Most people only need to cancel. Delete your account if you want Fubo to stop storing your personal information, though this is permanent and cannot be undone.
The deletion process takes a few minutes and happens when ready, but you should cancel your subscription first if you are still being charged. If you delete without canceling, your subscription may continue to renew until the billing cycle ends.
Key Takeaways
- Canceling your subscription stops charges but keeps your account data on file; deleting removes your account entirely and is permanent.
- You can cancel through the Fubo website under Account Settings, or contact Fubo support by phone or chat if you run into trouble.
- Deletion requests are submitted through the same Account Settings menu and take effect when ready, though Fubo retains billing records for legal reasons.
- If you delete your account, you lose access to any credits, saved shows, or watchlist data tied to that account.
- Fubo may ask you to confirm your identity before processing a deletion request, especially if the account holds an active subscription.
How to cancel your Fubo TV subscription
Start here if you are still being charged. Open the Fubo website or app and sign in. On the website, go to your Account Settings (usually found in the top right corner under your profile). On the app, tap the menu icon and select Account. Look for a section labeled Subscription, Plan, or Billing.
Click or tap the option to manage your subscription. You should see a button that says Cancel Subscription or similar. Fubo will ask you why you are leaving — you can skip this or answer it. The system will then show you the date your subscription ends. Your access continues until that date, and no further charges occur after cancellation.
Keep a record of the cancellation confirmation, which usually appears on screen and is also sent to your email. If you do not see a cancellation option in Account Settings, contact Fubo support through the website chat or by phone. Fubo's support number is available in the Help section of your account.
How to delete your Fubo TV account
Once your subscription is canceled (or if you want to delete without canceling), return to Account Settings. Look for a section called Privacy, Data, or Account Management. Some accounts show a Delete Account or Close Account button directly; others require you to scroll to the bottom of the settings page.
Click the delete option. Fubo will ask you to confirm your identity — this usually means entering your password or verifying an email address. You may also see a warning that deletion is permanent and that you will lose access to your account, saved content, and any remaining credits. Read this carefully, because you cannot undo deletion.
After you confirm, Fubo processes the deletion when ready. Your account is removed from their system, though they retain billing records and payment information for accounting and fraud prevention purposes. You will receive a confirmation email. If the delete button does not appear or the process fails, contact Fubo support and request account deletion in writing — some companies process deletion requests faster through formal channels.
What happens to your data when you delete
Fubo removes your profile, watchlist, saved shows, viewing history, and personal settings. Any credits or promotional offers tied to your account are forfeited. If you had a family plan or shared account, deletion affects only your profile, not other users on the same subscription.
Fubo keeps billing records, payment methods, and account creation dates for tax and legal reasons. They may also retain anonymized viewing data for analytics, though this cannot be linked back to you. If you want to know exactly what data Fubo holds about you before deletion, you can request a data report through the Privacy section of your account — this takes a few days to arrive.
If you cannot find the delete option
Some older accounts or accounts with active subscriptions do not show a delete button in the settings menu. In this case, cancel your subscription first, wait a day, then return to Account Settings and try again. If the option still does not appear, contact Fubo support directly.
You can also submit a deletion request in writing by emailing Fubo's privacy team. The email address is usually listed in the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service on the Fubo website. Include your full name, email address associated with the account, and a clear statement that you want your account deleted. Fubo is required to respond within 30 days, though deletion usually happens faster.
What to do if you want to keep your subscription but hide your data
If you want to stay subscribed but limit what Fubo stores about you, deletion is not the right choice. Instead, go to Account Settings and look for Privacy or Data Preferences. Here you can usually opt out of personalized recommendations, limit ad tracking, or disable viewing history. These settings do not delete your account but reduce the amount of personal information Fubo uses for marketing.
You can also request that Fubo not sell or share your data with third parties. This option is often found under Privacy Settings or Data Rights. Choosing these options does not affect your ability to watch — it only changes how your information is used behind the scenes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reactivate my account after deleting it?
No. Deletion is permanent. You can create a new Fubo account with the same email address, but your old account, watchlist, and viewing history cannot be recovered. If you think you might return to Fubo later, cancel instead of deleting.
Will deleting my account stop charges when ready?
Only if you cancel your subscription first. If you delete without canceling, your subscription may continue to charge until the current billing cycle ends. Always cancel before you delete to avoid unexpected charges.
Do I lose my credits if I delete my account?
Yes. Any promotional credits, free trial days, or account balance are forfeited when you delete. Use or transfer any credits before you request deletion.
How long does account deletion take?
Deletion is when ready once you confirm the request. Your account is removed from Fubo's active systems right away, though billing records are retained for legal reasons. You will receive a confirmation email within a few hours.
What if I share my Fubo account with family?
Deleting your account removes the entire subscription and all profiles on it. If other people use the account, they will lose access. If you only want to remove your own profile from a family plan, look for a Remove Profile option instead of Delete Account.
