Discovery+ is raising prices for U.S. customers, coming one week after Paramount closed its megamerger with Warner Bros. Discovery to form Skydance Corp.

Starting Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, the Discovery+ ad-supported plan will increase by $1 to $6.99/month and the ad-free plan will increase by $2 to $11.99/month in the U.S.

The higher prices are effective immediately for new subscriptions. Existing subscribers will receive 30 days advance notice and see updated prices reflected on their billing statements on or after Nov. 12, 2026, according to the company. It’s likely the Discovery+ price increase was planned ahead of the merger.
