HBO Max to launch in UK and Ireland on March 26

Already available in over 110 territories worldwide, HBO Max will be the home of film and TV content from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television, DC Studios, and Max Originals.

HBO Max will also become the streaming home of TNT Sports in the UK, giving subscribers access to sports content including the Premier League, Emirates FA Cup, Adobe Women’s FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, Gallagher PREM Rugby, Premiership Women’s Rugby, UFC, MotoGP, Grand Slam tennis, and Grand Tour cycling.

HBO Max’s line-up will include new HBO Original series, including Lanterns, based on the DC title Green Lantern, which premieres in summer 2026, and the highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series.

It will also include the HBO and Warner Bros. Television libraries – from Succession to Friends, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones.

Film offerings will include the Oscar-nominated One Battle After Another and Sinners, as well as Superman, A Minecraft Movie, Dune: Part One, and the entire Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings franchises. 

The basic service with ads will cost £4.99 per month, while the standard service with ads will cost £5.99 per month.

Without ads, the standard service will cost £9.99 per month, rising to £15.99 per month for a premium service which allows streaming on four devices.

For £30.99 per month, HBO Max’s TNT Sports Plan will allow users to access TNT Sports 1-4, TNT Sports Ultimate, live events, and TNT Sports original documentaries.

Further, HBO Max will be available directly from hbomax.com, as well as partners including Sky and Prime Video.

The launch of HBO Max comes as Netflix and Paramount both look to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

JB Perrette, CEO and President of Global Streaming and Games at Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “After decades of delighting audiences in the UK & Ireland with our remarkable stories and brands, it’s a huge thrill to finally bring it all together on HBO Max, and also offer it directly to all consumers. Starting at just £4.99 per month or £5.99 for our complete entertainment offer – HBO Max brings the most differentiated and best streaming offer to market.”
