For the third time in just over a year, Netflix has increased its subscription fees in Nigeria.
The streaming giant quietly announced the new prices on Tuesday, 4th June 2025—its first price adjustment for the year.
This comes after two previous increases in 2024 alone. The new rates affect all subscription tiers
Under the new structure, the Premium Plan, which allows Ultra HD streaming on up to four screens, has risen from ₦7,000 to ₦8,500, a 21.43 per cent increase. The Standard Plan, supporting HD quality on two screens, now costs ₦6,500, up from ₦5,500, an 18 per cent rise.
The Basic Plan, which offers standard definition viewing on one screen, has increased by 14 per cent, moving from ₦3,500 to ₦4,000. Even the Mobile Plan, designed for smartphones and tablets only, has gone up from ₦2,200 to ₦2,500.
“As we invest in and improve Netflix, we’ll occasionally ask our members to pay a little extra to reflect those improvements,” Netflix said. “This helps drive the positive flywheel of additional investment to further improve and grow our service.”
While the company frames the adjustment as part of its global strategy to enhance service quality and content offerings, the price increases in Nigeria also mirror deeper economic challenges.
The rising cost of living, currency depreciation, and inflation are all making things more expensive — from internet subscriptions to basic food items. So, while Netflix’s hike is global, Nigerian subscribers are feeling the pinch more.
Netflix now joins a growing list of international and regional brands, including Microsoft and MultiChoice (owners of DSTV and GOtv) that have also revised their prices in recent months in response to Nigeria’s economic climate.
