You heard correctly: HBO Max is launching in the UK on March 26, 2026. The release month was confirmed in December 2025, but now we've finally got the first details of what the new streaming subscription will look like.
Subscribers will have four monthly entertainment plans to choose from starting at £4.99 per month, which is cheaper than Netflix's ad-supported tier priced at £5.99. Viewers are able to enjoy the complete HBO Max entertainment line-up, including recently released movies.
Meanwhile, sports fans will be able to access or sign up to a TNT Sports streaming subscription via HBO Max for £30.99 per month.

In the UK and Ireland, the service will be available directly via hbomax.com and via launch partners, including Sky and Prime Video. Through the HBO Max app, Sky and NOW TV customers will get access to the new HBO Max streaming service (often with ads) as part of their existing subscription.
While existing franchises are likely to remain available on all streaming services, exclusive HBO Max content might be limited to the new app, but only time will tell.

Opinion: HBO Max UK's launch date is a genius move for subscribers waiting to watch The Pitt
Don't get me wrong, I'm as excited as the next person for Euphoria season 3, House of the Dragon season 3 and the debut of Lanterns from DC Studios. But Brits have been waiting to watch HBO smash-hit The Pitt for over a year.
Now, not only will they get all season 1 episodes in one go, but March 26 is a whole three weeks before the predicted season 2 finale date of April 16.

But that's not all. I'm hopeful that the HBO-A24 partnership will mean hits like Marty Supreme, Sorry, Baby and Materialists will be a lot easier to access across the pond.
Box office monsters such as Superman, One Battle After Another, Sinners, A Minecraft Movie and Dune: Part One are also included as part of the subscription.
