Netflix has officially announced an increase in its monthly subscription fee for users in Nigeria. Starting July 4th, 2025, the streaming giant will charge ₦8,500 per month for its standard subscription plan.
This is a significant increase for Nigerian subscribers who have previously enjoyed one of the platform’s more affordable regional rates. The new pricing applies to monthly renewals beginning from the announced date.
Why the Price Hike?
Although Netflix has not released a detailed statement explaining the reason behind the increase, industry observers suggest that rising operational costs, currency volatility, and inflation may have influenced the decision.
The adjustment may also reflect Netflix’s broader strategy to standardize pricing in emerging markets while maintaining profitability.
How Will This Affect Users?
For current subscribers, the new price will automatically take effect during their next billing cycle after July 4th, 2025. Users may want to explore alternative plans—such as the mobile-only or ad-supported tiers (if available) to manage costs.
It remains to be seen whether Netflix will introduce new features or local content initiatives to justify the higher price.
What’s Next?
With competition in the Nigerian streaming market growing—thanks to players like Amazon Prime Video, Showmax, and YouTube Premium—users will be paying close attention to how Netflix delivers value at its new price point.
