HBO Max has finally announced its arrival in the United Kingdom and Ireland, marking a significant expansion for the streaming service. The two countries join over 110 territories worldwide that already offer HBO Max. Some HBO shows, like *Euphoria*, have already been available in these regions through other platforms, but the full HBO Max library will now be accessible.

Starting Thursday, March 26, UK and Irish subscribers can choose from four subscription tiers. The Basic with Ads plan costs £5 per month and includes all titles except movies that first stream on HBO Max after theatrical release. The Standard with Ads plan at £6 per month adds those releases and allows 30 downloads. Both ad-supported tiers support streaming on two devices simultaneously.

For viewers seeking an ad-free experience, Standard and Premium plans are available. The Standard plan offers all titles on two devices with up to 30 downloads, while the Premium plan supports four devices in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos for compatible systems. The expanded launch comes as Netflix prepares to acquire Warner Bros., though any connection remains unclear.
