Yes, you may freeze cantaloupe. Many people make into melon balls or cubes, lay on baking sheets, freeze, then put into containers or bags and freeze.
You may also freeze in a sugar solution:
FREEZING MELONS - SLICES, CUBES OR BALLS
Cut firm-ripe melons in half; remove seeds and soft tissues holding them. If for slices or cubes, cut off all rind; cut to shape. If for balls, do not cut off rind, but scoop with a baller, taking care not to include any rind.
Wet pack, syrup: Cover with 30 (1 cup water to 3/8 cup sugar) percent syrup. Leave 1/2-inch headspace.
Seal, label and freeze.
It is best to eat while still partially frozen as it is not as mushy.
