What's changing?
On 26 March 2026, HBO Max launched in the UK. As part of this update, TNT Sports moved 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
- After 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 still get every TNT Sports channel that’s included in your plan. The only difference is the app you use to watch them.
How to access the HBO Max app
HBO Max is available on select devices including phones, tablets, computers, TVs, streaming players, and set-top boxes. For a list of compatible devices and operating systems, go to help.hbomax.com/devices.
Log in with the same details you used for discovery+
If you already activated TNT Sports on discovery+, use the same email and password to sign in to HBO Max.
If you've never activated TNT Sports before, you’ll need to activate it now through HBO Max. You can do this on EE's TNT Sports page.

Watching discovery + Entertainment content
discovery+ Entertainment isn’t included in your EE plan after 26 March 2026. If you’d like to keep watching discovery+ Entertainment, you’ll need to:
- Sign up directly with discovery+.
- 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.
