Netflix Raises Its Prices Once More

Netflix has officially implemented its latest pricing adjustment, as fans will see an increase.

While the streaming giant is keeping the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano on May 16 as a “no-extra-cost” feature for all members, the monthly subscription fees have been raised to support its rapid expansion into live sports and high-stakes combat events. The baseline expense to maintain a Netflix account has seen its second hike in just 14 months.

The change signals a shift in Netflix’s identity—from a library of movies to a live-events powerhouse competing directly with the likes of ESPN+. The new rates went into effect immediately for new members, while existing subscribers in the U.S. will see the changes phased in over their next billing cycle, typically with a 30-day notice.

Subscription Tier	Old Monthly Rate	New Monthly Rate	Difference
Standard with Ads	$7.99	$8.99	+$1.00
Standard (No Ads)	$17.99	$19.99	+$2.00
Premium (4K/4 Users)	$24.99	$26.99	+$2.00

The Next Event

The price hike coincides with the push for Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP) debut MMA card in Los Angeles. The event is expected to be one of the most-watched combat sports broadcasts in history.
