HBO Max Launches in UK and Ireland on March 26, 2026

Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service HBO Max will launch in the United Kingdom and Ireland on March 26, 2026, bringing a wide array of HBO original series, Warner Bros. films, and live sports to subscribers through a new direct-to-consumer platform.

The service will offer four core subscription tiers, starting at £4.99 per month for the Basic with Ads plan, which allows streaming on two devices in full HD but excludes access to select movies immediately after their theatrical release and does not include offline downloads. The Standard with Ads tier, at £5.99 per month, adds up to 30 downloads for offline viewing while maintaining the same streaming limits and ad-supported format. For an ad-free experience, the Standard plan costs £9.99 per month with identical features minus advertisements. The Premium tier, priced at £14.99 per month, supports streaming on four devices in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos audio where available and allows up to 100 downloads.

A separate TNT Sports Plan will be available for £30.99 per month, either standalone or as an add-on to other tiers. This bundle includes access to TNT Sports channels, live event feeds, and original documentaries,...
