What is Halocard?

A US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card, with a separate virtual card for each merchant you pay. Lock a card to pause a subscription, or cancel it so the merchant can no longer charge that number.

Pay ESPN from its own card and stop the renewals whenever you choose.

Tips for successful payments at ESPN

AcceptedSign in with your MyDisney account before you pick a plan. ESPN asks you to create or log in to that account before you enter payment details.
AcceptedAt the payment step you can save the card to MyDisney Wallet. The card marked with a checkmark is the one ESPN charges.
AcceptedMoving from Select to Unlimited takes effect at once and charges a prorated amount, so leave room on the card for that charge.
AcceptedIf Apple, Google or Roku bills your current ESPN plan, change the payment with them. ESPN cannot update it.

Why do ESPN payments decline?

Billing information does not match: Check that the card number, security code and expiry date were entered correctly, then try the payment again.
Billing address is in a different country or region: ESPN refuses a card billed to an address outside the country where you subscribe. Use a card whose billing address is in that country.
Card has insufficient funds: Make sure the card has enough available to cover the plan price and any authorization hold, then update the payment and try again.
Account is on a billing hold: After several failed charges the plan stays active but cannot stream. Update the card under Manage Subscription, then Update Payment, to start watching again.

ESPN payment FAQ

What happened to ESPN+?

ESPN+ content now sits inside ESPN's two plans. Existing ESPN+ subscribers were converted to ESPN Select and keep the same ESPN+ content. ESPN Unlimited includes ESPN+ plus all ESPN networks, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network and NFL Network.

How much do ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited cost?

ESPN's plans and prices article, read in October 2026, lists ESPN Select at $13.99 a month or $139.99 a year and ESPN Unlimited at $31.99 a month or $319.99 a year. Anyone who subscribed before August 20, 2026 keeps the old price until the first billing date after September 17, 2026.

Can I cancel my ESPN subscription at any time?
