What's changing?
From 26 March 2026, HBO Max will launch in the UK. As part of this update, TNT Sports is moving from discovery+ to the HBO Max.
If you get TNT Sports through your EE plan, you’ll simply start using HBO Max to watch it. Your access to TNT Sports isn’t changing.
What this means for you
No changes to your EE bill:
- the move to HBO Max won’t change the cost of your EE plan
- there’s nothing you need to pay, add, or upgrade with EE - the switch is included in your plan
You’ll no longer be able to watch discovery+ Entertainment through EE
- from 26 March 2026, your EE plan will no longer include access to discovery+ Entertainment live and on-demand content via the discovery+ app
- if you want to keep watching those shows, you can sign up directly with discovery+
You can still watch all your TNT Sports live streaming channels
You’ll still get every TNT Sports channel that’s included in your plan today. The only difference is the app you use to watch them.

Watching discovery + Entertainment content
discovery+ Entertainment isn’t included in your EE plan from 26 March 2026. If you’d like to keep watching channels like Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and more entertainment content, you’ll need to:
- Sign up directly with discovery+ from 26 March 2026.
- Create a new account, as your EE-linked login won’t work anymore.
- Pay discovery+ directly, not EE.
Any profiles, watchlists or viewing history linked to your EE access will not transfer - it’s a fresh start.
Adding a new plan to HBO Max in the app
If you’d like to subscribe to an HBO Max Entertainment plan, in addition to your TNT Sports access, you can subscribe to HBO Max Entertainment plans directly with HBO Max.
Any additional charges are handled by HBO Max – not EE.
