Discovery+ Price Hike & Netflix-Warner Bros. Deal: What Fans Need to Know
Rome, Italy – Discovery+ subscribers may soon see a €1 increase to their monthly bill, bringing the price to €19.99, though the service maintains its value given the overall quality of its offerings. This potential price adjustment comes amidst a broader shift in the media landscape following Netflix’s $83 billion acquisition of Warner bros.’ film division.
The price increase – from €7.99 to €8.99 – could be a sticking point for fans,particularly given the current economic climate. However, the deal between Netflix and Warner Bros. is not expected to impact Eurosport, Real Time, or other Discovery-owned channels available via streaming and digital terrestrial. Discovery Global will maintain its autonomy, signaling Netflix currently has no plans to enter the competitive sports rights market.
The acquisition focuses solely on Warner’s film division, leaving the future of HBO Max’s sports content and Eurosport secure under Discovery’s control. This means fans can continue to access their favorite sports programming on these platforms without anticipated disruption.
