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.
- The Main Event: Ronda Rousey returns after a decade-long absence to face Gina Carano in a five-round featherweight fight
- The “BMF” Special: Nate Diaz makes his cage return to face “Platinum” Mike Perry in a welterweight co-headliner.
- Heavyweight Clash: Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou faces Philipe Lins, marking Ngannou’s first MMA appearance since his 2024.
