Netflix Increases Prices on All Streaming Plans for the Second Time in Over a Year

Netflix is making headlines once again, this time for raising its prices for the second time in a little over a year. The company recently updated the costs for its three streaming plans in the U.S., and the changes have been posted on their website.

The standard plan with ads is now priced at $8.99 per month, up by $1 from its previous cost of $7.99. For those looking to subscribe to the standard plan without ads, be prepared for a $2 increase, making it $19.99 a month. Additionally, Netflix’s premium tier, the highest-priced plan, is also going up by $2, now costing customers $26.99 a month.

Netflix shared in a statement to Variety that they are increasing prices in order to provide more value to their members. The goal is to reinvest in quality entertainment and enhance the overall viewing experience for subscribers.

Last year, the company adjusted prices after experiencing a significant increase in subscribers. Just recently, Netflix streamed the MLB Opening Night, featuring the New York Yankees’ impressive victory over the San Francisco Giants in the 2026 season opener.

As Netflix continues to evolve and grow, subscribers can expect to see changes in pricing to reflect the added value and improvements in the streaming service. Stay tuned for more updates as Netflix continues to deliver top-notch entertainment to audiences worldwide.
