A daily habit bundle, not just a newspaper
In 2026 most people pay for The New York Times for the whole bundle: the news, and also Games, Cooking, Wirecutter's product reviews and The Athletic's sports coverage. For many readers the puzzles are the real habit and the headlines come second. The app has also moved toward phones and short videos, with a swipeable Watch feed of vertical clips taken from across the paper. If you only open the site to read one story that a friend sent you, you are not really the customer this bundle is built for.
What changed in the last few months
July 2026: The Times started pushing back hard on login sharing. Accounts used on too many devices are now asked to verify with a code sent to the account owner's email, and some readers say this happens every time they switch devices.
August 2026: The Times's second-quarter results showed slower subscriber growth than analysts expected. The company partly blamed falling search traffic and warned that growth in subscription revenue would slow next quarter. Expect more video and more pressure to turn free readers into paying ones.
September 2026: The copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft moved forward. The Justice Department filed in support of the AI companies, and both sides asked the court for summary judgment on fair use. No ruling on the merits yet.
Who should share, and who should pay full price
Be clear about this: the Times's terms say you may not share your login with anyone, and the July crackdown shows the company is now enforcing it. A shared login can be interrupted without warning. A verification code goes to an email address you don't control, and you wait for someone else to pass it on, or you lose access. The Times's own Family plan gives each person their own account, and it is the approved way to share.
A shared plan suits someone who wants to try the bundle for a short time and can live with interruptions. If you rely on the Times for work, keep long crossword streaks, or save recipes and articles you care about, pay for your own account and follow the terms.
Before you buy
Ask how verification codes are handled: who gets the email, and how fast they pass the code on.
Check that the plan actually includes the parts you want. Games, Cooking, Wirecutter and The Athletic are not in every tier.
Find out what happens if the account gets locked or the seller disappears partway through.
Assume nothing you do on the account is private or yours to keep: your saved articles, recipe box and game stats all belong to someone else's account.
