Disney+ Internet Video Streaming Service Hikes UK Prices for 2025
Internet video streaming provider Disney+ has followed its usual annual trend by once again hitting new UK customers with a fresh round of price hikes, which are due to all be introduced from on or after 4th November 2025 (or 25th November 2025 if you have an annual plan).
In terms of the actual price changes. The “Standard with Ads” plan has increased by +£1 to £5.99 per month, while “Standard” increases by +£1 to £9.99 (or £89.90 to £99.90 annually) and “Premium” surges by +£2 to reach £14.99 (or £129.90 to £149.90 annually). This represents another annual inflation busting increase that ranges from 11% to 20%, depending upon your plan and whether it’s a monthly or annual payment.
The Extra Member option now also costs £4.99 per month for users of “Standard with Ads” (up from £3.99), and £5.99 for both the “Standard” and “Premium” plans (up from £4.99). Suffice to say that the endless price hikes and ever-increasing fragmentation of streaming TV and movie content continues to get worse, which increasingly risks driving many consumers back to more unlawful pursuits.

I don’t think they realise the more they increase prices, the more customers they will lose, I understand that costs have increased, but also household bills are increasing as well. Streaming services will be the first to go.
I know it is still cheaper than going to the cinema, but people go to cinemas for the big screen or for new films.
I got rid of Disney+ a couple of weeks ago, because
(a) I was not really using it a lot.
(b) the price.
I know it is possible to go to a lower price services with adverts.
I now have two streaming services, Prime video, because that comes with Prime and offers more than just video and ITVX. Some stuff I like watching on ITV, but a little annoyed that I pay for premium and still have to put up with adverts, every 10 to 15 minutes on some stuff like The Flash, okay, so the adverts are only a few seconds. But still annoying.l
People will cut down and the n Disney will be saying they lost customers.
They are not showing any nett losses and it is reported that they now reach more than one quarter of UK households. I think they can afford to adjust prices and earn some returns on their investments.
Hi Some corrections maybe needed Mark. Just logged to my account the the prices show as below – not sure if the new or old prices:
Premium = £14.99
Standard with Ads = £5.99
Standard = £8.99
Yearly plans
Premium = £149
Standard £99
I’m using what’s on their website for new customers:

Pure greed by the streamers is sadly becoming commonplace. The race for content is only getting more difficult as more streamers try to carve a niche. It’s like the ITV and Sky days of squabbling over sports rights, but on a far greater scale.
How much do you think they should be charging for their baseline service?
Most of the streamers are not making much money at all compared to their costs of production.
I took it out when first released, £50 a year…
you used to get the blockbusters at same time as sky store etc, now 2 months later.
Apparently there’s now a rumour that they may be relaunching the Disney Channel on Sky:

If true and onsidering the timing, I wonder if they’re expecting an exodus or going to try and promote D+ content this way.
And by all accounts D+ is still losing them a shedload of money.
There’s just not enough new content arriving to keep me subscribed on any of the streaming services.
With Disney if you go through the renewal screens but back out they usually email you an offer a few days later.
I’ve just had 3 months at £1.99 a month. Gone to cancel and offered another 3 months at £2.99. I’ve watched everything I wanted to though so I’ve cancelled.
