While Disney+ has been making a lot of noise about its worldwide Hulu launch, the streamer has also quietly been preparing price increases.
As reported earlier this week by The Canadian Press, the cost of Disney+ will go up by as much as $3 in Canada in November, depending on the subscription tier. Here’s the full breakdown:
- Disney+ Standard with Ads — $8.99/month (unchanged)
- Disney+ Standard (ad-free) — $15.99/month (currently $12.99/month)
- Disney+ Premium (ad-free) — $16.99/month (currently $15.99/month)
On its website, Disney said these prices are already in effect for new monthly subscriptions as of September 30. Those who were already subscribed on a monthly plan will see the price change on their bill on or after November 4, while annual subscribers will be affected on or after November 25.
Disney first announced a U.S. price increase at the end of September, and now, it’s introducing similar hikes in Canada, the U.K. and other markets.
The last Disney+ price increase in Canada happened last October and saw all three tiers going up by $1. That was the streamer’s second hike in 2024.
In terms of the Hulu launch, though, very little is actually changing for Canadians. All this really means is that the service’s previous Star section, which was available in Canada and other international markets and home to many Hulu titles, is now just called Hulu.
