After a rocky start on the London Stock Exchange and the announcement of the withdrawal of certain services, Canal+ informed its subscribers of an upcoming increase in its prices from January 2025. The Rat+ formula would also be affected. A decision difficult to justify in the eyes of subscribers.
If there is a strategy behind all this, it is difficult to understand. The Canal+ platform has announced to its Internet users an increase in the monthly price excluding options and excluding promotions for their subscription. And this in order to “ continue to provide you with the best experience“, while at the same time, the divorce with Disney+ is finalized and PassPresse is doomed to disappear at the end of the year.

These increases will take place during the next contract renewals in January 2025. Several formulas would be affected according to Internet user @anael_tw on X. Here are the new prices which would be applied to monthly subscriptions from next January:
- Canal+ offer: from 27.99 to 29.99 euros per month
- Canal+ offer (-26 years): from 13.99 to 15.99 euros per month
- Canal+ Ciné Séries offer: from 39.99 to 41.99 euros per month
- Canal+ Sport offer: from 45.99 to 47.99 euros per month
- Canal+ Sport offer (-26 years): from 22.99 to 24.99 euros per month
- Canal+ Friends & Family offer: from 79.99 to 81.99 euros per month
Nothing is indicated regarding the European Cup Pass offer, but if it is also affected by this increase, it would go from 37.99 to 39.99 euros per month. As for the Rat+ offer (the equivalent of the Canal+ Ciné Séries offer for under-26s), several Internet users have received this email below informing them of a slightly larger increase in the monthly payment.

The platform announces an increase of 2.50 euros per month for Rat+ subscribers. From 19.99 euros per month, the formula would increase to 22.49 euros per month.
An announcement which, coupled with the withdrawal of Disney+, will have difficulty getting through. Even though Canal+ offers the most complete SVoD offer on the market and allows several platforms to be centralized, its prices are also the highest. On the other hand, Netflix, Disney+ and others strive to maintain ultra-competitive prices with their offer with ads.
For the moment, Canal+’s main strength lies in the media chronology which allows it to broadcast films six months after their theatrical release, compared to 15 to 17 months for SVoD platforms, but here too the lines could shift.
