When does the Disney+ ad-supported tier launch?
The new ad-supported tier is now in the United States. It will then roll out globally in 2023 – with the exact months to be confirmed.
In which countries is the Disney+ ad-supported tier available?
Currently, the only country with the ad-supported Disney+ tier is the United States. However, Disney said it will roll out worldwide in 2023.
With the UK being a key market for Disney+, we imagine it will be available here.
How much does the Disney+ ad-supported tier cost?
The new ad-supported tier replaced Disney+’s current standard cost — so $7.99 per month. There is no annual plan offered.
Here are the new costs of Disney+ in America:
- Disney+ ad-free monthly subscription: increased from $7.99 per month to $10.99 per month
- Yearly Disney+ ad-free subscription: increased from $79.99 per year to $109.99 per year
- Disney+ ad-supported monthly subscription: $7.99 per month (no annual option offered)
As current UK prices are similar to old US prices, we expect the new ad-supported tier to cost £7.99 per month in the UK, and prices for the ad-free plans will drop to £10.99 £ per month and £109.99 per year.
What do ads look like on Disney+?
Disney has confirmed that it will aim for an average of four minutes of advertising per hour – an amount that significantly undercuts traditional TV broadcasting, as well as other streaming platform competitors such as Peacock and HBO Max.
The platform will not run any advertising related to politics or alcohol, nor will it accept advertising from other rival studios.
All profiles created for preschoolers will be ad-free, and shows designed for preschoolers will be reviewed accordingly.
No downloads are available on the ad-supported tier.
