Netflix price rises: when are prices increasing in the UK? Date ‘confirmed’

• Netflix is putting its prices up for UK subscribers.
• Emails confirming the date of the rise are being sent out.
• The cost of all subscription tiers are being increased.

Netflix has been sending confirmation of the date it will raise prices to UK subscribers - and it is coming very soon. The streaming giant is hiking its fees for the first time since late 2023.

It is a big year for Netflix as Stranger Things, You, Cobra Kai and Squid Game are all due to come to an end. Users have now been warned when their bill will go up in an email.

Announcing the price increase last week, a spokesperson for the streaming giant said: “As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can reinvest to further improve Netflix.”
