Netflix Increases Subscription Prices in Nigeria, Basic Plan Now N4000, Premium Now N8,500

Popular streaming service Netflix has once again increased its subscription prices in Nigeria. Starting from July 4, 2025, the cost of watching your favorite shows and movies on Netflix will be higher. The Premium plan, which used to cost ₦7,000 per month, will now go for ₦8,500. That’s about a 21% increase.

But it’s not just the Premium plan that’s getting more expensive. The Standard plan, which lets you watch in HD and on multiple screens, has gone up from ₦5,500 to ₦6,500. The Basic plan has also increased from ₦3,500 to ₦4,000. Even the cheapest Mobile plan is now ₦2,500 instead of ₦2,200.

Netflix says these price changes are part of a bigger plan to adjust subscription fees in different countries. They want to make more money to keep adding new movies and shows, and to improve the service. Netflix has been raising prices little by little over the past year. In fact, this is the third time prices have gone up in Nigeria since April 2024.

For many Nigerians, this price hike comes at a difficult time. The cost of living is already high, with prices of food, fuel, and internet data going up. Many people might find it harder to afford Netflix now, especially since internet costs have also increased a lot recently.

This isn’t just happening in Nigeria. Netflix has also raised its prices in other countries like South Africa, the US, and the UK. In South Africa, for example, the Mobile plan price went up by 20% last month, and other plans also got more expensive. Netflix says these changes happen because of things like local taxes, inflation, and the cost of improving their service.

Before this latest increase, Netflix had already raised prices in Nigeria several times. Last year, the Premium plan jumped from ₦5,000 to ₦7,000, and the Mobile plan nearly doubled from ₦1,200 to ₦2,200. The Basic plan also saw smaller increases.

With Netflix increasing subscription prices in Nigeria again, many users might start thinking about switching to cheaper plans or sharing accounts with family and friends to save money. Some might even stop their subscriptions altogether if it becomes too expensive.

Overall, this price increase shows how streaming services are adjusting to rising costs worldwide. While Netflix keeps adding new shows and movies, the higher prices could make it harder for some Nigerians to enjoy their favorite entertainment at home.
