Disney+ and Hulu Are Raising Prices — Here's the Date It Hits Your Wallet
Disney+ and Hulu are hiking prices yet again. On October 23, 2025, rates rise across individual plans and bundles; here’s what each tier will cost.
Heads up: Disney is raising streaming prices. Again. If you have Disney+, Hulu, any of the bundles, or ESPN Select (yep, that used to be ESPN+), here is exactly what is changing and when.
When it kicks in
Most Disney+ and Hulu price hikes hit on October 23, 2025. ESPN Select jumps a little earlier, on October 21, 2025.
The new prices (and the old ones)
- Disney+/Hulu bundle (with ads): $11.99 per month (was $9.99)
- Disney+ Premium (no ads): $18.99 per month (was $15.99)
- Hulu standalone (with ads): $11.99 per month (was $9.99)
- Hulu + Live TV: $89.99 per month (was $82.99)
- ESPN Select (formerly ESPN+): $12.99 per month (was $11.99) — effective October 21, 2025
- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle: still $29.99 per month for now during its 12-month introductory period
The bigger picture
This is becoming an annual tradition for Disney. When Disney+ launched in 2019, it was $6.99 a month. Since then, the price has marched up pretty much every year, including another increase last October. Six years later, here we are.
What this means for your setup
On top of the price shifts, Disney is planning to retire the standalone Hulu app and fold everything into a single Disney+ app, with all the content living under one subscription. Also, ESPN+ being renamed ESPN Select is some classic inside-baseball branding stuff — same idea, slightly different name, slightly higher price.
Short version: if you are on Disney+, Hulu, or any bundle, expect your bill to climb in late October unless you are on that Unlimited bundle intro deal. Plan accordingly.
