BBC TV licence fee to rise again in 2025 - here's what you'll have to pay
The Government has confirmed the cost of a TV Licence will rise from April 2025, up from the current £169.50 a year, with the price of a black and white TV licence also rising
The cost of a TV licence is set for a £5 hike from £169.50 to £174.50 starting next April, announced by the Government, in an effort to place the BBC on a "stable financial footing" with a 2.96% increase. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy confirmed today's price update and reaffirmed the continuation of the licence fee model through to 2027, while expressing openness to exploring alternative funding options.
