How to unsubscribe from ESPN+ emails

The fastest way to unsubscribe from ESPN+ emails is the ESPN newsletters panel: log in at espn.com, click the account icon in the top right, choose Newsletters, uncheck everything in the pop-up list, and hit Save. ESPN+ marketing rides on the wider ESPN email system, so that one panel covers the "watch tonight's fight" promos, UFC pay-per-view pushes, and offer emails alongside the SportsCenter-style newsletters. Two wrinkles: fantasy and score alerts live in a separate settings area, and your login is a Disney (MyDisney) account whose own Communications settings touch Disney-family marketing. All covered below, plus how cancelling the subscription differs.

Method 1: the ESPN newsletters panel (recommended)

  1. Log in at espn.com in a browser with the account that receives the mail.
  2. Click the account icon in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Click Newsletters. A panel appears listing every ESPN newsletter subscription on your account.
  4. Uncheck the newsletters and offer lists you do not want - ESPN+ offers and event promotions included - then scroll down and click Save.

This panel is checkbox-per-list, so treat it like an audit: anything still ticked keeps mailing. ESPN documents this exact flow in its fan support article on managing email subscriptions.

Method 2: the unsubscribe link in any ESPN+ email

Every ESPN marketing email has an Unsubscribe link in the footer that removes you from the specific list that sent it - useful for a straggler after the panel sweep. Gmail and Apple Mail also show the native one-click Unsubscribe button on ESPN mail via the standard List-Unsubscribe header. If a sender keeps arriving anyway, escalate to filters using our guide on how to stop unwanted emails on Gmail.

Method 3: the Disney account side

ESPN+ shares its login with Disney+ and Hulu, and the Disney account Communications settings control some marketing across the family - our Disney Plus unsubscribe guide walks through that exact panel. If you bundle ESPN+ with Disney+ or Hulu, clear both the ESPN newsletters panel and the Disney Communications toggles; that combination is what fully quiets the account.

Unsubscribing is not cancelling ESPN+

Most "ESPN+ unsubscribe" searches actually mean the monthly charge, so to be clear: unchecking newsletters does not touch billing. To stop paying, manage the plan where you bought it - the ESPN+ subscription management flow on the web if ESPN bills you directly, or Apple or Google subscription settings if you signed up in an app. Cancelling also does not stop marketing; winback offers typically continue until the newsletters panel is cleared too. The same email-versus-billing split applies on Netflix.

Verify it actually stopped

Between per-list checkboxes, separate fantasy alerts, and the Disney account overlay, ESPN is a sender where one pass often is not enough. ClearMyInbox re-checks the sender about 30 days after your opt-out and labels it Confirmed stopped or flags it as still emailing, so you find out about a missed list from a report instead of another promo.

What stays on (transactional email)

Billing and account mail continues regardless of newsletter settings: subscription receipts, renewal and price-change notices, pay-per-view purchase confirmations for UFC events, and password or security messages on the Disney account. If billing runs through an app store, those receipts come from Apple or Google instead. That is transactional mail tied to an active subscription, and no marketing opt-out will - or should - turn it off.

Frequently asked questions

Does unsubscribing from ESPN+ emails cancel my subscription?▾

No. Email opt-out and billing are completely separate. You keep paying and streaming until you cancel the plan itself, on the ESPN+ subscription management page if ESPN bills you directly or in your app store subscription settings if you signed up through an app. Unsubscribing only silences marketing and newsletters.

Where are ESPN email preferences?▾

Log in at espn.com, click the account icon in the top right corner, and choose Newsletters. A panel lists every ESPN newsletter subscription with checkboxes - uncheck the ones you do not want, scroll down, and click Save. ESPN+ offer emails are managed from this same ESPN account panel.

Why am I still getting ESPN emails after unsubscribing?▾

Each ESPN newsletter and alert is its own subscription, so unchecking one leaves the others live. Recheck the Newsletters panel for anything still ticked, and use the unsubscribe link in the footer of the specific email that got through - it targets exactly the list that sent it.

Do fantasy league and score alert emails stop too?▾

Not from the newsletters panel alone. Fantasy activity and game alerts are notification settings tied to your leagues and favorite teams, managed separately in ESPN fantasy and alert preferences. Turn those off where you set them up, or use the footer link on one of the alert emails.

Does my Disney account affect ESPN+ emails?▾

Yes, at the margins. ESPN+ sign-in uses the same Disney (MyDisney) login as Disney+ and Hulu, and the Disney account Communications settings govern some Disney-family marketing across those services. For a full opt-out it is worth clearing both the ESPN newsletters panel and the Disney account Communications page.
