NBA League Pass is the official streaming service that lets you watch live and on-demand NBA games, often including out-of-market matchups, replays, and highlights.
Plans are typically available as monthly options (around $16.99–$24.99 depending on the tier) or season-long packages. Charges usually appear on your credit or debit card, or through Apple, Google, Amazon, or a TV provider.
Deleting the NBA app does not cancel your subscription or stop recurring charges. You need to cancel through the platform that billed you. This guide walks you through the main ways to end the subscription and prevent future billing.
What Is NBA League Pass and How Billing Works
NBA League Pass gives access to live games (subject to local blackouts in some regions), full replays, condensed games, and other content through the NBA app and supported devices.
Monthly plans generally renew every 30 days. Season-long plans typically cover the regular season and provide on-demand access longer, with auto-renewal before the next season unless you opt out.
You can cancel at any time. For monthly plans the cancellation usually takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, so you keep access until then.
Season-long or annual plans let you turn off renewal so the subscription ends at the close of the current term. No long-term contracts are required.
Billing can come directly from NBA.com or through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, Samsung, or a cable/satellite provider. Check your statement or account to see which one applies.
How to Cancel from NBA.com
This method works if you subscribed directly on the NBA website.
- Go to NBA.com and sign in with your NBA ID (email and password).
- Hover over the My Account icon in the top right.
- Click Manage Plan next to the Subscription section.
- Click Cancel Subscription.
- Click Continue, choose a cancel reason, and follow the remaining prompts.
- Confirm by clicking Cancel Subscription again.
You should receive a cancellation confirmation email. Keep it for your records.
Canceling If Billed Through Apple or Google
On iPhone or iPad
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap the profile icon (your initials or photo) in the upper right.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap NBA (or the League Pass listing).
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store app and go to your subscriptions (or visit play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions).
- Select the NBA League Pass subscription.

Uninstalling the app does not stop the charges.
Canceling Through Amazon, Roku, or Other Devices
Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick
- Go to Your Account on Amazon.
- Select Your Apps under Digital content and devices.
- Select Your Subscriptions under Manage.
- Find the NBA subscription and update or cancel it.
Roku
On the website: Sign in at my.roku.com, click Manage Your Subscriptions, find the NBA app, and click Unsubscribe.
On the device: Highlight the NBA app, press the star (*) button, choose Manage Subscription, then Cancel Subscription.
Samsung TV
Sign in at samsungcheckout.com, go to Purchase History > Subscriptions, find the NBA listing, and unsubscribe. Or manage it through the TV’s Samsung Account settings.
If you signed up through a cable or satellite provider, cancel through that provider’s account or customer service.
What Happens After You Cancel
For monthly plans, access continues until the end of the current billing period. For season-long plans, access continues through the end of the term if you opt out of renewal. Future automatic charges stop once cancellation is confirmed.
You generally do not receive a refund for the current period already paid. Confirmation usually arrives by email when you cancel on NBA.com.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Cancel a few days before your next billing date when possible. Check your card or bank statement to confirm which company is charging you so you use the correct cancel path.
Save the confirmation email or a screenshot. After canceling, watch the next statement to make sure no new charge appears. If you have multiple devices or accounts linked, verify the subscription status in the NBA app under My Account or Subscriptions.
Common Problems and Solutions
If you cannot find Manage Plan on NBA.com, make sure you are signed in with the correct NBA ID that holds the subscription. Try a different browser or clear your cache.
Subscriptions bought through Apple, Google, Amazon, or a TV provider cannot be canceled on the NBA site. You must use that platform’s settings.
If access continues or a charge appears after cancellation, contact NBA support through the official help center request form and include your confirmation details. Your card issuer can also help stop a recurring authorization if needed.
FAQs About How to Cancel NBA League Pass Subscription

No. Once you complete the cancellation on the correct platform, future auto-renewals stop. You keep access until the end of the current paid period for monthly plans or the end of the term for season-long plans.
Q: Does deleting the NBA app cancel my League Pass subscription?
No. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription or stop charges. You must cancel through NBA.com, Apple, Google Play, Amazon, or whichever service billed you.
