Disney Plus Hikes Prices, Subscribers Brace for Steeper Costs
19 Oct
Summary
- Disney Plus ad-free plan jumps from $15.99 to $18.99 per month
- Annual ad-free plan increases by $30 to $189.99
- Subscribers can lock in lower rates by signing up before October 21st
On October 21st, 2025, Disney Plus will be implementing a price increase for its streaming plans. The standalone plan with ads will jump from $9.99 to $11.99 per month, while the ad-free Premium tier will increase by $3 to $18.99 per month. Additionally, the ad-free annual plan is going up by $30, now costing $189.99 per year.
Fortunately, there is still time for subscribers to lock in the lower rates. If users sign up for a year of Disney Plus Premium before October 21st, they will pay $159.99 for the full year, avoiding the price hike. The same applies to the monthly plans; those who subscribe now will pay $15.99 per month for the ad-free plan or $9.99 per month for the ad-supported tier. However, after the first billing cycle, the new monthly and annual prices will automatically apply.
The main difference between the two tiers is that the Premium plan allows for offline viewing and supports Dolby Atmos audio on select content. Both plans provide access to the same catalog of movies and TV shows from Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Marvel.
