November 2026. Desk research from the sources listed below.
Since 17th January 2025, Ofcom has required providers to tell you any mid-contract price rise in pounds and pence when you sign up. So for most contracts, next spring's rise is already in your terms.

|---|---|---|
| BT | TV plans £2 a month more, broadband £4 a month more | 31st March 2027 |
| EE | Entertainment + Fibre 74 from £54.99 to £60.99 a month | March 2027 |
| Virgin Media, joined after 2nd October 2025 | £4 a month more | Every April |
| Virgin Media, joined 9th January to 2nd October 2025 | £3.50 a month more | Every April |

What happened in 2026
- Sky raised TV packages by £1 to £3 a month and broadband by £3 from April 2026.

What you can do
- Find your contract end date. Once you're out of contract you can leave without a fee, or use that to negotiate.
- Work out the price worth asking for with our renewal checker, which compares staying with switching over the same months.
- If you only use a few channels, price the alternatives: NOW, a streaming stick and broadband only can cost less. See UK TV and streaming prices.
