Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streamer HBO Max has revealed its full pricing and programming line-up, ahead of its launch in the UK & Ireland on Thursday 26 March.
The platform, which has been rolling out internationally since its US debut in 2020, brings together content from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television, DC Studios, and Max Originals.
It will start at £4.99 a month for a Basic with Ads package, rising to £14.99 for a premium subscription.
Warner Bros Discovery is also offering saver plans for customers looking to stream TNT Sports, which moves to HBO Max in the UK on 26 March 2026.
A Standard with Ads and TNT Sports package for a year’s contract will cost £27.99 per month, saving £8.99 per month. Meanwhile, a Premium and TNT Sports package will cost a monthly fee of £34.99 for a year’s contract – saving users £10.99 per month.
