Spotify says subscribers will get a one-month grace period.
It had announced earlier this year that prices would go up in various territories – but it had not been clear if this included the UK.
The last hike, also of £1, was introduced in the spring of 2024.

The Money blog has contacted Spotify for comment.
A statement on its website says: “We’re updating our Premium prices to ensure we can continue to innovate in changing market conditions and deliver the best audio content around the world.
“These changes help us keep providing subscribers with a highly personalised experience and powerful discovery tools, ultimately continuing to deliver value to our fans.”
Subscribers who do not want to pay the extra £1 can cancel at any time before their next billing date.
Spotify’s student discount, making a subscription £5.99, appears to be unchanged.
Spotify, based in Sweden, is said to be the biggest music subscription service in the UK with 15.3 million subscribers – almost half the market.
