Paramount+ Promises Price Hikes In 2026

It feels like streaming services are constantly getting more expensive, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon. Each service says the price increases are necessary to fund new shows and movies, but it often feels like raising prices is just the easiest way to make more money. With everything else becoming more expensive, many people are reaching their limit. There’s only so much money to go around, and constant price hikes are likely to lead to cancellations. Paramount+ is the latest, announcing price increases planned for 2026.

Paramount+ hasn’t announced exactly how much prices will go up, but increases are definitely planned. In a letter to shareholders, Paramount CEO David Ellison explained that investments in the service are improving what it offers customers. To continue these improvements, they plan to raise prices in the US starting in early 2026. They’ve already announced price adjustments in Canada and Australia, which will allow them to invest more in the user experience and offer even better shows and movies in the future.

Streaming services are getting more expensive and showing us more ads – but what improvements are we actually seeing for viewers? This latest price increase from Paramount+ might benefit the company’s investors, but it’s frustrating for those of us who pay for the service. We hope the price doesn’t go up too much, but even a small monthly increase can really add up. Honestly, streaming services need to stop raising prices!
