The British government has agreed to a 3.14% increase, calculated in line with the consumer price index. The licence fee has been increasing in line with inflation since 2022 and will continue to do so until the end of the charter period in 2027.
All UK households that watch, stream or record live TV on any device, download or watch any shows on BBC iPlayer, or watch shows on any online TV service must pay the fee.
"The government is currently considering the BBC’s next royal charter and future funding arrangements beyond 2027. We welcome this debate and have been clear we want reform so we can continue to deliver a public service BBC that is independent, sustainably funded for the long-term, and meets audience needs for generations to come."
"The government recognises the financial pressures on households and is committed to ensuring the BBC’s funding model is sustainable, fair and affordable."
With the BBC's Royal Charter set to expire on 31st December 2027, the government launched a review and public consultation late last year.
