How To Cancel Acorn TV

To cancel Acorn TV if you subscribed directly at Acorn.tv: 1. Go to acorn.tv in a web browser and sign in. 2. Open your account page (click your profile / My Acorn TV menu). 3. Click Cancel Membership. 4. Confirm when asked. There is no cancellation fee, and you keep streaming British mysteries until the end of the billing period you already paid for. Acorn TV's own help center is clear on the catch: where you cancel depends on where you signed up — Acorn.tv directly, the Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or as an Amazon Prime Video channel — and deleting the app does not cancel anything. Every route is below.

Quick Facts Before You Cancel

• Current US price: $8.99/month, or $89.99/year on the annual plan (both plus tax where applicable) — still one of the cheaper niche streamers.
• No cancellation fee, and access runs to the end of the period you paid for, including the remainder of a prepaid year.
• Deleting the app or channel does not cancel your subscription. Acorn TV's support pages call this out explicitly — you keep getting billed until you cancel through the right platform.
• Cancel where you signed up. A subscription started through Roku cannot be canceled on acorn.tv, and vice versa — the same rule we explain in our hub guide to canceling all your subscriptions.

First, Figure Out Who Bills You

Acorn TV subscriptions can be billed six different ways: directly by Acorn TV (card entered at acorn.tv), by Apple (App Store), by Google Play, by Roku, by Amazon (Fire TV in-app subscription), or by Amazon again as a Prime Video Channel add-on. If you do not remember, check your card statement — the company charging you is the one that can cancel you. A charge from RLJE/AMC Networks or Acorn TV means direct billing; a charge from Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon means that platform owns it.

Cancel Directly At Acorn.tv

1. Go to acorn.tv in any browser and sign in.
2. Open your account page from the profile menu.
3. Click Cancel Membership (listed with your plan details).
4. Confirm your cancellation and keep the confirmation email.

Cancel If Google Play Bills You (Android)

1. Open the Play Store app and tap your profile icon.
2. Tap Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
3. Tap Acorn TV, then Cancel subscription.

More detail in the Google Play cancellation guide.

Cancel If Roku Bills You

1. On the Roku home screen, highlight the Acorn TV channel.
2. Press the star (*) button on your remote.
3. Choose Manage subscription > Cancel subscription and confirm.

Removing the channel afterward is optional — but remember removal alone never cancels billing. Full walkthrough: canceling subscriptions on Roku.

Cancel If Amazon Bills You (Fire TV Or Prime Video Channels)

Amazon can bill Acorn TV two different ways, and both are canceled from the same place:

1. Go to amazon.com and open Account & Lists > Memberships & Subscriptions.
2. Find Acorn TV — it appears here whether it is a Fire TV app subscription or a Prime Video Channel.
3. Click Manage Subscription, then the cancel option (Cancel Channel for Prime Video Channels), and confirm.

Our guide to canceling subscriptions on Amazon covers every variation of that screen.

What Happens After You Cancel

Access continues until the end of your paid period — monthly subscribers keep the rest of the month, annual subscribers keep the rest of the year. There are no partial refunds for unused time, so canceling early costs you nothing extra. Your account and watchlist remain if you resubscribe later. And before you go: if the service was misbehaving rather than unwanted, our Acorn TV troubleshooting guide fixes the common playback problems — or if you are trading up to the other British streamer, see BritBox vs Acorn TV for the head-to-head.

FAQ

Does deleting the Acorn TV app stop the billing?

No. Acorn TV's help center states plainly that deleting the app or channel does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through whichever platform bills you.

Will I get a refund for unused time?

No, cancellation stops future renewals but does not refund the current period. You keep access until the period ends.

What was I paying?

US pricing is $8.99/month or $89.99/year (plus tax where applicable). If your statement shows a different amount, you may be billed through a platform bundle such as DIRECTV's Acorn TV add-on, which is canceled through that provider.

Can I rejoin later?

Yes — sign back in at acorn.tv or through your device's app and restart the membership. Setting up on a new TV afterward? Our Acorn TV activation guide covers every device.
