New Year Streaming Deals: What Resets in January?
Check which streaming rates reset in January and what to review before your next billing date.
January resets streaming prices more than it brings new discounts. Paramount+ moves to higher rates on January 15, the $29.99 Disney bundle offer ends January 5, and Netflix has no annual January reset. A reset means your monthly bill shifts to the current standard rate.
A bundle combines several streaming services in one monthly payment.

What changes at Paramount+ in January?
Paramount+ Essential rises from $7.99 to $8.99 per month. Premium rises from $12.99 to $13.99 per month. Annual plans move to $89.99 and $139.99.
The change affects U.S. subscribers on January 15, 2026, as reported by Advanced Television in the Paramount Skydance results report. Check whether you pay monthly or yearly.
Your bill changes on the billing date that follows the effective date.
Why does the Disney bundle price change after January 5?
Disney offered Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited together for $29.99 per month for 12 months. Redemption ran August 21, 2025 through January 5, 2026, then new accounts revert to standard pricing, according to the ESPN launch offer terms. That date matters if you waited to sign up.
A January 6 signup misses the $29.99 introductory period. Keep your signup confirmation. It shows your start date, monthly rate, and when the 12 months end.
Why does Netflix skip a January reset?
Netflix bills each month on your signup-date anniversary. It states that it offers no annual, multi-month, or lifetime plans, as explained in the Netflix plans and pricing help page. That structure removes a shared January renewal day.
Your price follows your own billing cycle, not the calendar year. People who use only Netflix have no January annual reset. A change would apply on their normal monthly billing date.
What should you check before your bill changes?
Look at your account before January. Monthly and annual terms reset on different dates. A two-minute check in December prevents a higher January charge.
- Open Membership or Billing in each streaming account.
- Write down the renewal date and current monthly rate.
- Note when any 12-month or introductory rate ends.
- Cancel or switch before that term ends if you do not want the standard rate.
