Cellcom TV+ subscribers have been notified of an upcoming price increase for the Sport 5 Premium channel package. Effective October 14, 2026, the monthly cost will rise from NIS 52.44 to NIS 57, representing an approximately 9% hike. The Sport 5 Premium package includes five channels broadcasting a variety of sports events, such as Israeli Premier League football, Champions League matches, Formula 1 races, Israeli Basketball League games, and French football league matches.
In addition to the price increase, Cellcom is maintaining a viewing restriction for this package. Subscribers cannot watch Sport 5 Premium channels on mobile devices or tablets. This limitation also applies to Sport 1 and 2 channels (Charlton) on Cellcom, unlike other television providers where mobile viewing is available for paid subscribers.
Cellcom stated in response that the company had maintained the same price for the package for several years, even during previous market price increases. They described the current rise as "measured."
