Okay, Netflix is raising its prices again.

After this latest price hike, the second in less than two years, Netflix's cheapest ad-supported tier will cost $8.99 up from $7.99 previously.

The standard plan is going up by $2 to $19.99 a month, and the premium will now cost you $26.99 up from $24.99 previously.

Back in January 2025, Netflix also raised prices on a similar scale.

Netflix wants to bring in more revenue to pay for its expensive spending plans in areas like live sports.

In total, it's planning to lay out more than $20 billion on entertainment this year.

We have six months of the baseball season left, so I will definitely try it with you.

I don't think I'm going to get that far personally.

Okay, that is all the time we have.
