🆕 Latest Updates

• November 1, 2026: Disney’s fall increase now applies to existing subscribers (since October 21). Added the Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max bundle increase. HBO Max and Paramount+ are now owned by the same company, so I’ve added them to the watch list below.
• October 19, 2026: Tracker launched.

Streaming Price Increases 2026 at a Glance

Dates show when each increase was announced or first reported. Existing subscribers often see the new price on a later billing date. Disney’s existing subscribers, for example, moved to the new prices on October 21.

Annual Plan Increases

Annual plans went up too, which eats into the main reason to pay upfront:

• Peacock Select: $79.99 → $89.99 a year
• Peacock Premium: $109.99 → $129.99 a year
• Peacock Premium Plus: $169.99 → $199.99 a year
• Apple TV: $99 → $119 a year
• Paramount+ Premium: $119.99 → $139.99 a year

Peacock says current annual subscribers and people on promotional offers keep their old price until that plan or offer ends.

Bundle and Perk Increases

Bundles weren’t spared from the streaming price increases either:

• Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max: $19.99 → $21.99 with ads, and $32.99 → $34.99 without ads
• Disney+ and Hulu (no ads): $19.99 → $21.99
• Apple TV and Peacock: $14.99 → $17.99 with Peacock Premium, and $19.99 → $22.99 with Premium Plus, from September 1
• Apple One Individual: $19.95 → $21.95

The one bright spot: the Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads stayed at $12.99. It’s now only 50 cents more than Disney+ alone. See my best streaming bundles guide for the bundles that still save the most.

Which Services Haven’t Raised Prices in 2026?

As of November 1, 2026, I haven’t found a 2026 increase for:

• HBO Max standalone plans: still $10.99, $18.49, and $22.99

👀 Watch List: Possible Next Increases

• HBO Max and Paramount+: Paramount’s parent company completed its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery in October and plans to eventually combine the two services. No new prices have been announced, but a merger is a common time for prices to change.
• Netflix: Netflix has raised prices roughly once a year, and its last increase was in March.
• Disney: Disney has now raised prices four years in a row.

How to Beat Streaming Price Increases

• Switch to an ad plan. Netflix with ads is still $11 a month cheaper than Standard.
• Bundle where you can. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads didn’t go up and costs about the same as one service.
• Lock in a yearly plan before the next hike. If you’ll keep a service all year, paying upfront protects you from mid-year increases.
• Rotate services. Keep one or two all year and subscribe to the rest only while a show you want is airing.
• Cancel what you don’t use. My guide on which streaming service you should cancel walks you through the decision.
• Track your charges. A subscription tracking app flags price changes on your statements so you don’t miss them.
