Disney, Hulu and Netflix raise streaming prices in US and beyond
Disney announced price hikes for Disney+ and Hulu in the US, effective for new subscribers immediately and for existing subscribers on the next billing cycle; Premium ad-free plans rise to $21.49/month. Netflix also raised pricing across all tiers as of end-March 2026. The increases bring Disney+ and Hulu prices closer to Netflix, with bundles affected as well.
The coverage collates multiple outlets to show a consistent trend: major streamers raise prices, with Premium ad-free tiers seeing the largest jumps. Some markets stress bundling and alignment with Netflix, while others zero in on exact new price points. No single outlet challenges the basic fact of price hikes or presents a conflicting figure; the story centers on price levels and effective dates.
