- Basic stays at €5.99, Premium climbs to €9.99 with ads, and a renamed Premium ad-free tier is set at €12.99.
- Deezer music access is removed from the ad-free plan; customers wanting music must take the separate RTL+ Musik subscription at €14.99.
- RTL says the changes will roll out around mid-January 2026, with no exact date specified.
- The company reports roughly 6.6 million RTL+ subscribers today and is aiming for about eight million paying users by the end of 2026.
- The pricing revamp comes alongside an organizational restructure with about 600 planned job cuts, and the top tier’s rename from Max to Premium ad-free has been reported as a move to avoid confusion with HBO Max entering Germany.
