Quick Action: Delete Your Yahoo Fantasy Account

Follow these essential steps to request account deletion. Most users can complete this in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Prepare Your Account

Before requesting deletion, take these important steps.

Withdraw all funds from your Yahoo Fantasy wallet if you have any prize money or deposited funds. Complete or withdraw from any active paid contests or leagues. Save your league history, championship records, and any tax documents you may need.

Important: Yahoo Fantasy is tied to your Yahoo account. Deleting your Yahoo account will remove access to all Yahoo services including Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Finance, and any other Yahoo products you use.

Step 2: Delete Through Yahoo Account Settings

Yahoo Fantasy does not have a standalone deletion option. You must delete your entire Yahoo account.

To delete your Yahoo account:

  1. Go to the Yahoo Account Termination page at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user
  2. Sign in with your Yahoo credentials
  3. Read the information about what will be deleted
  4. Enter your email address to confirm
  5. Click "Continue delete my account"
  6. You have 40 days to cancel before permanent deletion
