Disney+ is increasing prices in South Africa by 12.5% per month to R179 for the video streaming service's monthly premium plan, while the Disney+ annual plan will remain R1 590, and a Disney+ mobile subscription will remain R49 per month.
Disney+ subscribers pay R179 per month from 30 April 2026 as the new price. The annual plan and mobile subscription prices remain unchanged.
Disney+ last increased prices in September 2024 with 14.39% to R159 per month.
According to Disney, all new Disney+ monthly premium plan users on or after 30 April 2026 will be charged the revised subscription price.
Disney notes that all the existing direct-billed monthly premium users who signed up before 30 April 2026 will be charged at the renewed subscription price on the date of renewal, on and after 4 June 2026.
"If the payment fails for these users, retries that happen on or after 4 June 2026 will also happen at the new price," says Disney.
According to Disney, existing users who subscribed to Disney+ through a third party like Apple in-app purchase, Google in-app purchase, or a local partner like MultiChoice "should refer to their third-party provider for more information".
