When does the Netflix ad tier launch?

The Netflix ad tier is set to launch in the U.S. on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. PT/12:00 p.m. ET. It will also be available in 11 other countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, and the U.K.

The plan will launch on Nov. 1 in Canada and Mexico. If you live in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, or the United States, you can expect the plan to launch on Nov. 3. Lastly, if you live in Spain, you can expect the plan to launch on Nov. 10.

How much does the Netflix ad tier cost?

The ad-supported subscription service will cost $6.99 a month. With this plan, you can enjoy Netflix in HD video quality (up to 720p) on one supported device at a time. However, some movies and TV shows will not be available due to licensing restrictions, which Netflix said they’re currently working on to get fixed. The option to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing will also be unavailable, but you will have access to unlimited mobile games without any ads.

Unlike Netflix’s other monthly subscription plans, the Netflix ad tier will consist of ads shown before and during most TV shows and movies. According to Netflix, there will be an average of four to five minutes of ads per hour, and each ad will be 15 or 30 seconds in length.
