Netflix raised its subscription prices this week, the second increase in about two years. The company raised the standard plan with ads by $1 a month and increased the standard and premium plans by $2 a month, according to pricing posted on Netflix’s website.
The company implemented similar increases in January 2025 while expanding into live programming, and its prior rise was in October 2023. Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CBS News New York reports the updated fees take effect now for new subscribers; existing members will be notified in the coming weeks.
Netflix has been broadening its live offerings this year, including debuting Major League Baseball, and adding more video podcast episodes from partners such as Barstool Sports and iHeartMedia.
Market data from S&P Capital IQ show Netflix’s revenue rose nearly 16% from 2024 to 2025. The company’s stock was up about 1.13% before the opening bell on Friday.
Netflix’s new pricing plans:
– Standard plan with ads: $8.99/month (was $7.99)
– Standard subscription: $19.99/month (was $17.99)
– Add an extra member to a standard plan: $7.99/month with ads or $9.99/month without ads (was $6.99 and $8.99)
– Premium plan: $26.99/month (was $24.99)
– Add two extra members to a premium plan: $7.99/month with ads or $9.99/month without ads (was $6.99 and $8.99)
