The short answer
This covers Fubo subscriptions billed directly by Fubo (Pro, Elite, Sports, Latino and add-ons). Cancelling stops the next renewal, but you keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and Fubo does not refund unused days or partial months. If you cancel a free trial started on the Fubo website, access ends immediately and you won't get another trial. If Roku, Apple, Google or Amazon bills you, that store's refund rules apply and you must ask them. Charges after a confirmed cancellation, or duplicate charges from a second account, are billing errors that support will look into. Keep your cancellation confirmation email as proof.

How long does a Fubo refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.
What you can claim
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
United States
- Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)Dispute any credit-card charge in writing within 60 days.
For US credit-card payments, the FCBA gives you 60 days from the statement date to dispute a Fubo charge in writing. Your card issuer is required to investigate and may withhold the disputed amount during the process.
- California ARL refund rightRefund if cancel was blocked or unclear.
If Fubo made it hard to cancel under California ARL, you’re entitled to a refund of charges taken since the obstruction. Multiple class actions (including against Adobe + Hulu) have set the precedent.

Refund FAQ for Fubo
You can cancel any time. Paid plans renew automatically each month until you cancel, and cancelling stops the next renewal. Your current paid period keeps running until it ends. Fubo says plainly that it **does not provide refunds for prepaid or partial months of service**. Most plans have no cancellation fee, but promotional offers with a commitment period may charge an early cancellation fee if you leave before the commitment ends.
Cancelling rather than claiming money back? See the Fubo cancellation guide. For every other support channel, the Fubo contact guide.
