Disney+ has announced a price increase across the board alongside the ad-supported tier becoming available in Europe and Canada starting November 1st. Also, starting September 6th, US subscribers will have access to a new ad-free bundled subscription featuring Disney+ and Hulu without ads for $19.99 a month.
Joe Earley, President Direct-To-Consumer Disney Entertainment had this to say.
“The strong momentum of our ad-supported plans in the U.S. demonstrates the importance of providing consumers with choice, flexibility and value. We are excited to expand that offering in more markets across the globe, including in Europe and Canada, and to launch a new premium duo bundle of ad-free Disney+ and Hulu this Fall, as we take steps toward making extensive Hulu content available via Disney+ later this year for Bundle subscribers.“
Internationally, Disney+ is also expanding choice and value options with the launch of a new Standard tier, as well as Standard with Ads in select EMEA markets and Canada. The new ad-supported plans start at £4.99/€5.99 month in EMEA and $7.99/month in Canada. Existing subscribers in applicable markets will remain in the Premium tier with No Ads when their subscription price increases in December, unless they opt to switch into one of the new lower-priced plans.
The ad-supported, Standard and Premium plans in select European markets and Canada offer access to the Disney+ content library and key product features including:
- Exclusive Originals & Library Content: A collection of thousands of award-winning titles across films, documentaries, TV series, and shorts, all in one place
