YouTube Premium Raises Subscription Price in Saudi Arabia

YouTube Premium is raising its individual subscription price in Saudi Arabia from SAR 26.99 to SAR 29.99 per month.

YouTube Premium is increasing the price of its subscription plans in Saudi Arabia.

The monthly price will rise from SAR 26.99 to SAR 29.99, according to a price-change notification being sent to subscribers in the Kingdom.

This represents an increase of SAR 3 per month, or around 11% compared with the previous price.

For subscribers receiving the notice, the new price will take effect from their next billing date. One notification reviewed by Amar Iqama states that the change will apply from September 26, 2026.

The YouTube Premium family plan is also reported to be increasing from SAR 49.99 to SAR 57.99 per month, an increase of SAR 8.

YouTube said the price adjustment will help it continue improving Premium while supporting content creators and artists on the platform.

YouTube Premium provides several additional features compared with the standard YouTube service, including ad-free viewing, background playback and video downloads for offline viewing. The subscription also includes access to YouTube Music Premium.

YouTube Premium is officially available in Saudi Arabia, along with several other countries across the Gulf and wider Middle East.

Subscribers can check their current plan, subscription price and next billing date through the Paid Memberships section of their YouTube account. YouTube notes that users billed through Apple will see this indicated in their membership details.

The price change means an individual subscriber paying the new monthly rate would spend approximately SAR 359.88 over 12 months, compared with SAR 323.88 at the previous monthly rate.
