If it seems like only last year that Disney raised the prices for Disney+ and Hulu, that’s because it was. And it will happen again in the fall of 2024. Disney has officially announced that Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ will be more expensive starting on October 17.
Disney+ was $6.99 per month when it launched in late 2019. But now, Disney+ with ads will be $9.99 per month, a $2 increase over the previous price. The ad-free Disney+ tier will also go up $2 to $15.99. Similarly, Hulu with ads is rising to $9.99 a month, while the ad-free option is only going up by a buck to $18.99. ESPN+ with ads is also getting a dollar more expensive with a new $11.99 price.
Bundling is still alive and well at Disney, but those rates will also jump. The Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ with ads bundle will now be $16.99 a month, while the ad-free option is jumping to $26.99 a month. That’s a $2 per month increase for both. Finally, Hulu + Live TV with ads will be going from $76.99 to $82.99. The ad-free option is jumping from $89.99 to $95.99.
Additionally, Disney announced that Disney+ will soon have curated playlists for ABC News Live and preschooler-oriented programing for all subscribers. But only premium subscribers will get Disney+’s playlists for Seasonal Content, Epic Stories, Throwbacks, and Real Life. Those Disney+ playlists will launch this fall.
