How much does Disney+ cost in 2026?

We checked the Disney+ sign-up page on November 7, 2026. It shows two standalone plans in US dollars:

These are the same two plans our price history calls Basic (with ads) and Premium (no ads). Those prices match our sourced price history, last verified on October 17, 2026. We don't list a feature table for Disney+ here, so check disneyplus.com for what each plan includes, such as streams at once or video quality.

Monthly vs yearly billing

Premium is the only plan with a yearly price on the page we checked. Twelve monthly payments of $21.49 come to $257.88, while a year paid up front is $214.99. That saves $42.89, about 16.6%, which matches the page's "Save over 16%" label. The page we checked shows no yearly price for Disney+ (With Ads).

How much more is ad-free Disney+?

Going from Disney+ (With Ads) at $12.49 to Premium at $21.49 costs $9.00 more a month, or $108 over 12 months if you pay monthly. That gap is the number to weigh against the ads.

Disney+ and Hulu bundle

The September 23, 2026 increase also raised the ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle from $19.99 to $21.99 a month. The bundle with ads stayed at $12.99. CBS News and MacRumors reported both changes, and the Disney+ page showed the same two bundle prices when we checked on November 7, 2026.

These are US list prices for new monthly subscribers from our sourced price history. Dates are when new subscribers started paying the new price.

That is six increases and about +207% in total, and the ad-free price has never gone down.

Basic (with ads): launched at $7.99 on December 8, 2022, then $9.99 (October 17, 2024), $11.99 (October 21, 2025) and $12.49 (September 23, 2026). That is three increases and +56% in total.

In the latest change, on September 23, 2026, ad-free Disney+ Premium went from $18.99 to $21.49 and Disney+ with ads from $11.99 to $12.49 for new subscribers. Existing subscribers moved to the new price on their next monthly bill.

How often does Disney+ raise prices?

There has been at least one increase every year since 2022. The ad-free price went up in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026; since 2022 the gap between increases has been roughly 10 to 12 months. The ad plan held at $7.99 for almost two years after launch, then went up in 2024, 2025 and 2026. These dates describe the past and don't predict the next change.

What you can do

  1. Check what you pay. Open your Disney+ account and compare your plan and price with the list above. If you pay through a bundle, app store or another company, your price can differ.
  2. Pick the cheapest plan that fits. Disney+ (With Ads) is $9.00 a month less than Premium. Check disneyplus.com for what else differs between the plans.
  3. Consider yearly Premium. If you want ad-free and plan to keep it, $214.99 a year costs $42.89 less than 12 monthly payments.
  4. Check Disney+'s help pages to change or cancel. They have the current steps and say when a change takes effect on your bill.
  5. Compare with other services. Our streaming price history table lists launch price, today's price and the last increase for each service, and our Disney+ price history page has the same history with a chart.
