CNN launching new subscription tier
October 16, 2025
Warner Bros Discovery’s news company, CNN, has announced that its new ‘All Access’ subscription tier will launch on October 28th in the US, providing audiences with one centralised destination for CNN’s journalism, including live and on-demand video programming to stream.
Available for $6.99 (€5.99) per month or $69.99 annually, the new tier will deliver “the most complete way to experience CNN” within its existing suite of digital products across web, mobile and connected TV apps. Subscribers who sign up for the annual plan option by January 5th 2026 can subscribe for a promotional price of $41.99 for the first year.
The move follows CNN’s short-lived CNN+ service, which launched on March 29th 2022 priced at $5.99 per month and was canned less than a month later.
“No one covers the world like CNN. With this new subscription offering, our audience will now have access to the best of CNN across platforms, including multiple live stream channels, our signature video-led journalism and all articles on CNN.com and in the mobile app,” commented Alex MacCallum, Executive Vice President, Digital Products and Services, CNN Worldwide. “It’s an essential step in CNN’s evolution as we work to give audiences the complete CNN experience in a format that reflects how audiences engage with the news today.”
Subscribers of the All Access tier will have the ability to stream a selection of CNN’s live US and International programming; the CNN Originals library of more than 1,000 hours of content as well as the latest CNN Original Series and CNN Films, available the day after their television airing; exclusive VOD programming and special features from CNN’s journalists; exclusive live events and all CNN.com articles and subscriber-only content.
The full schedule and content offering will be available at launch.
This new streaming offering will build upon the existing CNN subscription product, now called the Basic tier, that was launched in October 2024, which currently gives users unlimited access to CNN.com, CNN app articles and various subscriber-only content.
