HBO Max included for Sky and NOW customers from 26 March, bringing more world-class entertainment in one subscription
26 March: HBO Max has launched on Sky and NOW, giving customers continued access to HBO's unmissable range of TV shows and Warner Bros. movies, as part of Sky's expanded partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery.
From today, HBO Max Basic with Ads will be included in the Sky TV subscription for millions of eligible customers, worth £4.99 a month. Existing NOW Entertainment members will also be able to watch HBO Max Basic with Ads, included at no extra cost and seamlessly integrated into the NOW app, in a new NOW Entertainment & HBO Max membership.
This follows the announcement of Sky's new world-first line-up, which brings together HBO Max, Disney , Netflix, Hayu and Sky TV into a single subscription with a simple, integrated experience. That's over £20 worth of streaming apps each month, together with brilliant Sky Originals and Exclusive shows like Saturday Night Live UK, Under Salt Marsh, The Dyers' Caravan Park, and returning Sweetpea 2.
New customers can get Sky, HBO Max, Disney , Netflix and Hayu (coming in July) together as part of Sky Ultimate TV from £24 a month, delivering the best value in the market. They can also combine Ultimate TV with Full Fibre 300 broadband for just £41/month (currently £39/month)*.

Sky Cinema customers will continue to get new Warner Bros. movies such as One Battle After Another and Superman, alongside hit films from Sky, Paramount, and NBCUniversal.
Brought together in the Sky TV experience
With the intelligent Sky OS platform, Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers will see shows and movies from HBO Max integrated on the homepage alongside content from Sky, Netflix, Disney , Hayu, BBC and more. It curates recommendations in one place and provides personalised suggestions of what to watch, so finding the next binge-watch is easy with no need to search the apps.
The Continue Watching rail lets viewers easily pick up an episode they were partway through or get to the next one quickly. While Playlist allows them to save shows, movies and sports from apps and channels in one place to enjoy whenever they want.
HBO Max is also integrated into the Sky Q experience, so customers can easily find new recommendations and quickly pick up where they left off in Continue Watching.

Existing NOW Entertainment customers will automatically get HBO Max Basic with Ads at no extra cost in a new NOW Entertainment & HBO Max membership. HBO Max Basic with Ads is integrated into the NOW app alongside Sky Originals and Exclusives, with no action required. For new customers, the NOW Entertainment & HBO Max membership will be available from £6.99 a month.
A new NOW Entertainment membership will also be available from just £4.99 a month, offering access to Sky Originals and Exclusive shows such as Under Salt Marsh, Heated Rivalry, and All Her Fault, alongside the upcoming seasons of returning hit series from HBO.
