A new price hike is on the horizon for Disney+ subscriptions. The basic Disney+ subscription will increase from $9.99 to $11.99, while the Premium version with no ads will increase from $15.99 to $18.99. Bundles aren’t out of the woods either. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle will increase from $10.99 to $12.99, reflecting a $2 change, while the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundle will increase from $16.99 to $19.99, reflecting a $3 change. The premium version of the D+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundle with no ads will continue to be offered, and increase from $26.99 to $29.99.
These price changes will begin on October 21, 2025, and will reflect on subscribers’ billing statements in the next cycle from this date. This increase is slightly steeper than the one from October 2024, which raised the subscription levels by $1 and $2, depending on the type. These changes follow the release of the company’s new ESPN-specific app, which features more sports content.

This also comes at a time when a fair portion of Disney+ subscribers are rethinking their memberships. In a move that raised the question of what free speech really means, Disney, parent company of ABC, suspended late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely following FCC threats. This event prompted many to reconsider their subscriptions to Disney+, a portion canceling theirs outright. Kimmel’s show has been restored, though it will not air on Sinclair and Nexstar stations at this time.
