Starting October 21, Disney+’s plan with ads will increase $2 to $11.99, while its ad-free tier will increase $3 to $18.99. Elsewhere in the Disney streaming universe, ESPN Select will increase by a dollar to $12.99. Several bundles involving Disney+ will increase in price as well. Disney often implements price hikes in October; the company did so for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN in both 2023 and 2024. An organic boycott of Disney’s streaming service grew in response, with Howard Stern telling his SiriusXM listeners that he had canceled his Disney+ subscription to show solidarity with the late-night host.
