hi @Sue1881

do you have a subscription to TNT ?

The Tennis is not part of the basic HBO Max subscription and needs the premium TNT Sports subscription

@Sue1881

Do you have a TNT Sports subscription?

The free HBO Max tier bundled with Sky doesn't include Sports content: acquiring rights to such things is far too expensive to give them away.

And bear in mind, for any ROI customers, there are no sports on HBO Max

The only option for ROI is Sports Extra which is TNT sports and Premier Sports.

It gives access to the TNT Sports linear feeds and at least on Sky Q, some extra feeds on the red button.

It's just confusing and misleading when on the Home screen there's a thumbnail with players from the 3 English teams in each of the Euro finals with the title "included in your package" above it. Click on all the continue buttons and you eventually hit £34 per month paywall.

Even more confusing because those are exceptions...

I guess if a British player made it through to an RG final then that might miraculously become free too ; )
