HBO Max Launch Date, Prices, and Lineup Revealed for UK TV Streaming

HBO Max is finally making its way to the UK on March 26, 2026. This highly anticipated streaming service will bring popular shows like Succession, Game of Thrones, and the latest Superman film right to your living room. And for Sky customers, there’s an exciting offer of a Basic with Ads subscription at no extra cost.

Originally launched in the US almost six years ago, HBO Max has been the go-to platform for HBO shows, Warner channels like CNN and Cartoon Network, as well as major movie releases from Warner and DC Studios. Now, viewers in the UK can look forward to the same great content.

At launch, HBO Max will feature blockbuster movies like Superman and A Minecraft Movie, along with new shows like The Pitt, a Harry Potter TV series, and Lanterns (the new Green Lantern show). Sports fans will also be pleased to find TNT Sports streaming live Premier League, FA Cup, and European football games.

And let’s not forget the vast library of classics, including beloved series like Succession, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, and every episode of Friends now available on HBO Max.

Wondering about the cost? HBO Max offers four subscription tiers in the UK. The Basic with Ads plan starts at £4.99 per month, allowing you to watch on two devices in Full HD with 5.1 sound. If you opt for the Standard with Ads for £5.99, you’ll get the same quality plus up to 30 downloads for offline viewing.

For those who prefer an ad-free experience, the HBO Max Standard plan is priced at £9.99 a month. This tier offers the same features as the Standard with Ads but without any advertisements. So, mark your calendars for March 26 and get ready to dive into the world of HBO Max!
