HBO Max has going global

HBO Max started as a domestic US streaming service back in 2020, following the rapid success in US, service has been expanded the reach to global audience. starting in north Europian contries like Denmanr, Sweden etc, HBO Max started to exapand to other europian countries liek portugal, Norway , finland and Poland. later HBO MAX service was offered in Turkey.

One thing to note here is your out of luck if you in UK, as WarnerBro has a four year deal with UK based company Sky which prevent them from directly entering UK. we hope things will change with HBO further planning to start a global streaming service once their contracts end with local broadcasters in UK and else where. UK audience can still watch HBO content from the local partner Sky. 

WarnerBros Discovery (WDB) the parent comany of HBO has plans to combine all their content and create a truely global brand similar to Netflix and Discovery Plus. we hope this will happen sooner than 2024. new name for the Global offering has not yet been disclosed pundits of streaming expecting all the  WarnerBrothers , Discovery content will be available in the new services.
