Canceling your Acorn TV subscription shouldn’t be a mystery. This step-by-step guide shows you how to cancel Acorn TV on the website, iPhone/iPad, Android, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung TVs, and cable providers. You’ll also see refund rules and what happens after you cancel. Tip: deleting the app doesn’t stop billing—you must cancel on the platform where you subscribed. (support.acorn.tv)
Table of contents
Before You Cancel
Cancel where you subscribed. If you joined through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, Samsung, or a cable provider, you must cancel there—not on Acorn.tv. The Help Center lists each path. (support.acorn.tv)
Find your billing source. On Acorn.tv: My Acorn TV → Manage Account → Account Status. It shows if you’re billed by Roku, iTunes (Apple), Google Play, Amazon, Comcast/Xfinity, etc. (support.acorn.tv)
Auto-renew + refunds. Acorn TV auto-renews until you cancel. Acorn’s terms say no refunds or credits for partial billing periods (unless required by law). Cancel before the next renewal to avoid another charge. (Acorn TV)
Deleting the app doesn’t cancel. You have to use the correct cancellation flow. (support.acorn.tv)
Cancel on Acorn.tv (direct billing)
Use this path if you pay Acorn directly on the website (not via Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku/Samsung/cable).
Step-by-step (desktop or mobile browser)
Step 1 — Sign in. Go to acorn.tv and log in.
Step 2 — Open account. Click My Acorn TV (top-right) → Manage Account. (support.acorn.tv)
Step 3 — Cancel.
In Manage Account, choose Cancel Membership and confirm. (This page is where Acorn says you can cancel your membership.) (support.acorn.tv)Step 4 — Save confirmation. Keep the on-screen or email confirmation for your records.
Alternative Methods
Apple (iPhone/iPad/Mac/Apple TV)
If you subscribed via Apple, cancel in Subscriptions.
iPhone/iPad: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Acorn TV → Cancel. (Apple Support)
Mac: App Store → Account Settings → Subscriptions → Manage → Cancel. (Apple Support)
Apple TV (tvOS): Settings → Profiles & Accounts → [your profile] → Subscriptions → Cancel. (Apple Support)
Android (Google Play)
If you subscribed via Google Play, cancel in the Play Store.
Open Google Play → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
Tap Acorn TV → Cancel subscription → follow prompts. (Google Help)
Amazon Prime Video Channels
If you added Acorn TV as a Prime Video Channel, cancel in Amazon.
Prime Video → Account & Settings → Your subscriptions.
Find Acorn TV → Unsubscribe → confirm. (Prime Video)
Amazon Fire TV (Appstore billing)
If you subscribed through the Acorn TV app on Fire TV (not the Prime Channel), manage it with your Amazon account.
Amazon points to its Appstore subscription manager on the web. (Amazon)
Acorn’s Fire TV article also links to the correct Amazon page for managing/canceling that subscription. (support.acorn.tv)
Roku-billed
If Roku bills you, cancel with Roku.
On the TV: Highlight Acorn TV → press * → Manage subscription → Turn off auto-renew/Cancel.
On the web: my.roku.com/subscriptions → sign in → Manage subscription → Cancel. (Roku)
Samsung Smart TV
Subscribed via the Samsung TV app (Samsung Checkout)? Cancel in your Samsung account:
Go to samsungcheckout.com and sign in.
Purchase History → Subscriptions → select Acorn TV → Unsubscribe. (If you don’t see Subscriptions, update your TV’s software.) (support.acorn.tv)
Cable/TV providers (e.g., Xfinity/Comcast)
If your Acorn TV is billed through your cable provider, manage it there.
Xfinity’s guide shows how to unsubscribe iSVOD channels from your TV or account. (Xfinity)
Note: App-store or channel add-ons via a cable box can be confusing—if the option isn’t visible, contact your provider’s support for cancellation. (Acorn’s Help Center also labels “Cable Subscription” as a separate billing source.) (support.acorn.tv)
What Happens After Cancellation
Access continues to period end. You keep watching until your current term expires; auto-renew turns off. (signup.acorn.tv)
Refunds. Acorn TV states it does not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods (unless required by law). For Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku/Samsung purchases, refund requests follow each platform’s policy. (Acorn TV)
Rejoin anytime. You can resubscribe later on Acorn.tv or through a platform of your choice. (support.acorn.tv)
Troubleshooting
I can’t find the Cancel button on Acorn.tv. You probably subscribed through a third party. Check My Acorn TV → Manage Account → Account Status to see the billing source, then cancel on that platform. (support.acorn.tv)
Difference between Amazon Fire TV vs. Prime Video Channel? They’re different products with different billing. Fire TV app subscriptions are managed via Amazon Appstore subscriptions; Prime Video Channels are canceled in Prime Video → Your subscriptions. (support.acorn.tv)
Uninstalling didn’t stop charges. That’s expected—Acorn warns uninstalling an app or channel does not cancel. Use the correct flow for your billing source. (support.acorn.tv)
Not sure where you subscribed? Acorn’s guide explains how to identify the origin in Account Status. (support.acorn.tv)
FAQ
Where is the cancel option on the website? My Acorn TV → Manage Account → Cancel Membership. (support.acorn.tv)
Can I cancel during a free trial? Yes. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged; instructions are in Manage Account → Cancel Membership. Acorn notes no refunds/credits for partial months. (signup.acorn.tv)
Does Acorn TV offer pro-rated refunds? No—its terms say no refunds or credits for partial billing periods (unless required by law). (Acorn TV)
How do I cancel on Roku/Amazon/Apple/Google/Samsung? Use each platform’s subscription manager as linked above (Roku support, Prime Video Channels, Appstore subscriptions, Apple Subscriptions, Google Play, Samsung Checkout). (Roku)
Final Thoughts
The fastest way to cancel Acorn TV subscription is to cancel where you originally subscribed. On the web, go to My Acorn TV → Manage Account → Cancel Membership. On iPhone or Android, cancel via Subscriptions in the App Store or Google Play. Amazon users should cancel either in Prime Video → Your subscriptions (Channels) or via Appstore for Fire TV app billing; Roku and Samsung subscribers cancel in their respective subscription managers. Remember: Acorn TV generally does not issue pro-rated refunds; access continues until your current period ends. (support.acorn.tv)
