Netflix is implementing subscription price increases across several major markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria. The company stated these adjustments reflect improvements to its “entertainment range and service quality.”

In the United Kingdom, the ad-supported Standard plan rose from £5.99 to £7.99, a jump of over 33%. The ad-free Standard plan increased from £12.99 to £13.99, and the Premium plan rose from £18.99 to £20.99. This represents the second price hike in the UK in less than two years.

In Germany, as of September 3, new customers are subject to higher rates across all tiers. The ad-supported Standard plan rose from €4.99 to €6.99, the Standard plan increased from €13.99 to €15.99, and the Premium tier moved from €19.99 to €21.99. This Premium increase marks the first time a Netflix plan in Germany has exceeded 20 euros per month. Additionally, fees for adding extra members outside a primary household have risen: the extra member fee for the ad-supported plan increased from €3.99 to €4.99, while the ad-free option rose from €4.99 to €5.99. For subscribers using Telekom, the price hike for monthly cancelable options is scheduled to take effect on November 1.

In Austria, all three subscription tiers are increasing by 2 euros per month. Fees for adding extra members outside a primary household are also increasing in this region.

In the United States, where new rates were implemented in March 2026, the ad-supported tier is $8.99, the Standard tier is $19.99, and the Premium tier is $26.99.
