Spotify Premium Free Trial: How to Get One in 2026

The Standard Free Trial: 1 Month Free

Spotify consistently offers a 1-month free trial to new Premium subscribers. Conditions:

• Must be a new subscriber (never had a Premium account before)
• A valid payment method is required (you won't be charged during the trial)
• Cancel before the trial ends if you don't want to continue

If you don't cancel, the subscription auto-renews at £11.99/month.

3-Month Free Trials

Spotify regularly partners with brands to offer extended 3-month trials, available through:

• Spotify gift card purchases (in supermarkets or online)
• Bank partnerships (Visa, Mastercard — check your banking app)
• Samsung: new Galaxy devices sometimes include an extended trial
• Amazon: bundled Spotify + Prime offers appear periodically
• Mobile operators: bundled plans with network providers

These offers are temporary and change regularly. It's worth checking Spotify's "Offers" page before signing up.

Black Friday and Seasonal Deals

• Black Friday (November): often 3 months free or at £1/month
• Back to school (September): student offers with first month free
• Christmas/New Year: gift card promotions and Family plan deals

Can I Get Multiple Free Trials?

Officially, no. Spotify limits free trials to one per account (and per payment method). Once your trial is used, you cannot claim another one on the same account.

No Longer Eligible? What to Do

If you've already used your free trial, several options let you get Premium at a lower cost:

Option 1: Family Plan

Shared across 6 people, the cost drops to ~£3.33/person per month for full Premium access.

Option 2: Student Plan

If you're in higher education, you can get Premium for £5.99/month (SheerID verification required).

Option 3: Specialist Services

Platforms like Upgravia can activate Spotify Premium on your existing account at a reduced rate — no new account needed, all your playlists and listening history preserved.

How to Cancel Before the Trial Ends

1. Log in to your Spotify account at spotify.com
2. Go to Account → Manage your subscription
3. Click "Cancel Premium"
4. Follow the confirmation steps

You'll keep Premium until the end of your trial period, then automatically revert to Free.

Does the Free Trial Include All Features?

Yes. During the trial you get 100% of Premium features: no ads, offline downloads, 320 kbps audio, unlimited skips, Spotify Connect, AI DJ, Jam, audiobooks, and more.
