Spotify’s Lossless audio is no longer “upcoming” – it began rolling out in September 2025 and, as of early 2026, is available to many (but not yet all) Spotify Premium users, depending on region.

Quick Scoop

  • Spotify Lossless started rolling out to Premium subscribers on September 10, 2025.
  • It’s included in the normal Premium plan (no extra “HiFi” or “Music Pro” fee).
  • Initial rollout covered “50+ markets” through September–October 2025, including the US, UK, Australia, parts of Europe, and Japan.
  • Availability is still app- and region-dependent: some users got it immediately, others only saw it weeks later in audio-quality settings.

When Will Spotify Lossless Be Available?

Official timeline

  • Spotify Lossless “started now” for Premium on September 10, 2025, with a gradual rollout through October 2025 in 50+ regions.
  • Countries explicitly mentioned as early launch regions include:
    • United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden.
  • Spotify has said the rollout will expand beyond the initial ~50 markets, but hasn’t published a precise country-by-country calendar.

In practical terms: if you’re on Spotify Premium, Lossless may already be available where you live, or it may arrive “quietly” as a settings option without a big pop‑up.

What Users Are Reporting (Forum Vibe)

Forum and Reddit threads from late 2025 show a very “slow unlock” experience:

“I’m in Australia and I got it on Wednesday… no pop-up, just saw ‘Lossless’ appear in audio quality settings.”

“West coast Canada, still only ‘Very high’ here.”

“Feature is live, but it’s rolling out to Premium users in 50 markets over the next two months.”

Common themes:

  • Some users in supported regions see Lossless immediately in Settings → Audio Quality.
  • Others in the same country still only see Low / Normal / High / Very High and are waiting.
  • Several posts note that Spotify promised a notification, but in reality many never saw one and just discovered the option.

So even within a supported country, it can feel like a staged, account-by- account rollout rather than a single switch flip.

How To Check If You Have It

If you’re wondering “Is Spotify Lossless available for me right now?” the most reliable path is to check your app settings rather than waiting for marketing banners.

  1. Make sure you’re on Spotify Premium (Lossless is a Premium-only feature).
  1. Update the app to the latest version on mobile or desktop.
  1. Go to:
    • Settings → Audio Quality (wording can vary slightly by platform).
  1. Look for a “Lossless” option above “Very High,” usually marked as FLAC or similar.
  1. If it’s missing:
    • You might be in a country not yet in the rollout wave, or
    • Your account simply hasn’t been toggled yet, even if your country is listed.

Example: One Australian user reports Lossless just appeared in media quality settings with no pop‑up; another user in North America on the same days still only had “Very high.”

Tech Details & Expectations

From coverage and tech press rundowns:

  • Format: Up to 24‑bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC (CD‑like quality, not extreme hi‑res).
  • Devices: Works on supported hardware via Spotify Connect and compatible apps.
  • Price: No extra tier; falls under standard Premium pricing.
  • Old quality modes (Low / Normal / High / Very High) are still available alongside Lossless.

If you’re coming from Spotify’s “Very High” setting, the jump may be subtle on Bluetooth earbuds, but more noticeable on wired or higher‑end setups.

So, “When Will It Be Available?” In Plain Terms

  • If you live in one of the named first‑wave countries and have Premium:
    • It might already be in your Audio Quality settings, or should appear any time (the initial rollout window was late 2025, but account-level toggling can lag).
  • If you’re outside those 50+ early markets:
    • There is no exact public date yet; Spotify has only indicated that the rollout will expand beyond the initial wave.

The most accurate, up‑to‑the‑minute answer today comes down to:

  1. Are you a Premium user?
  2. Is your app updated?
  3. Do you see “Lossless” in settings yet?
