Netflix has increased the cost of its UK subscription tiers, marking the second price adjustment in 2025. The streaming service, home to hits such as Adolescence, Stranger Things, Bridgerton, KPop Demon Hunters and Happy Gilmore 2, has applied the new rates to new customers immediately, while existing members will receive one month’s notice via email before the changes take effect on their next billing cycle.
New Netflix UK Subscription Prices
The revised monthly pricing structure is as follows:
- Standard with adverts: £7.99 (up 33.4% from £5.99)
- Standard (advert-free): £13.99 (up 7.7% from £12.99)
- Premium: £20.99 (up 10.5% from £18.99)
- Extra member add-on: £5.99 (up from £4.99)
The previous UK price rise occurred in February 2025, and Netflix also raised its US subscription fees earlier this year.

.
“We know members have never had more choices in entertainment, and we’re committed to delivering an experience that meets and exceeds their expectations,” Netflix said.
Upcoming Content Slate
The company highlighted a roster of new and returning titles for 2025, including The Gentlemen 2, Black Doves 2, and a new adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. Recently announced commissions feature The Unheard starring Kate Winslet and Jonny Boy starring Barry Keoghan.
Financial Performance
Netflix generated $45.2 billion (£33.4 billion) in revenue for 2025, a 17% increase over 2024. The US-based streaming giant recorded an operating profit of $13.3 billion (£9.8 billion) for the year.
Expert Advice for Consumers
Max Beckett, broadband and TV expert at price comparison site Uswitch, offered guidance for subscribers evaluating the new costs.
“The good news is that if you pay Netflix directly, you’re not locked in.
“If the new price doesn’t feel worth it, you can downgrade or cancel penalty-free at any time – dropping from standard to the ad-supported plan now saves £6 a month, or £72 a year, if you can live with the adverts.
“Free services like ITVX, Channel 4 and Tubi cost nothing at all.
“It’s also a good moment to add up what you spend on streaming and broadband together, and check whether a better bundle could cut the total.”
