UK TV licence fee to rise to over £180 in April 2026 due to inflation.
As of January 16, 2026, the UK TV licence fee is £174.50 annually, with an expected increase in April 2026 due to inflation, potentially exceeding £180.
A licence is required to watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer on any device, but not for pre-recorded content or on-demand streaming on non-BBC platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or YouTube.
Free or discounted licences are available for those aged 75+ receiving Pension Credit, individuals in residential or sheltered care, and people registered blind.
The standard fee may rise above £181 if the full inflation adjustment applies.
