HBO Max launched in the UK on 26 March. As part of this update, some TNT Sports experiences changed. Here’s everything you need to know.
What's changing?
From 26 March, all live and on-demand TNT Sports content moved from the discovery+ app to the HBO Max app.
EE TV customers’ TNT Sports channels via the TV Guide will not be affected.

No. There’s no change to your monthly bill.
You’ll still get access to all the content included in your current plan.

If you have an EE TV Box Pro or EE TV Box Edge, HBO Max will automatically be available in your apps rail from launch. If you took an Apple TV 4K box before April 2026, you'll need to download it from the App Store on your set-top box.
If you received an Apple TV 4K box after April 2026, HBO Max will already be installed.
The HBO Max app is also available for Android devices. Go to Google Play and search for HBO Max, and then download it.
The HBO Max app currently only supports certain content signed in American Sign Language.
If you are an existing customer who bought before 26 March, you can retain access to discovery+ entertainment content as part of your EE TV subscription at no extra cost.
If you joined after that date and want to subscribe to discovery+ entertainment content, you can purchase by signing up in the discovery+ app, but this won't appear on your BT/EE bill.
Help with TNT Sports questions
You’ll need to activate TNT Sports by logging into your EE account online.
No problem — just use the Forgot username or Forgot password links inside the HBO Max app.
If you were previously activated and signed in to the discovery+ app, you'll be automatically signed in to the HBO Max app.
If you haven't activated TNT Sports on discovery+, you'll need to activate it on HBO Max. You will be able to do that online after launch. After activating, you'll need to sign in manually for the first time.
