Europa League Final on HBO Max

majorca65 — Tue, 19 May 2026 07:22:14 GMT

Hello

I am a Sky Q customer and make use of the included HBO Max basic with ads App.

I am picking up conflicting information online as to whether I will be able to access the Europa League cup final on 20 May Or whether I need a separate TNT sports subscription or an upgraded HBO max.
Any definitive advices will be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob Davies

While you would normally need a TNT subscription to watch football, the UEFA finals will be available to all HBO Max subscribers including the "Basic with Ads" plan provided by Sky.

"Watch in the UK on any HBO Max plan. Customers on any HBO Max plan, starting from £4.99 Basic with Ads Plan, as well as the Standard with Ads Plan, Standard Plan or Premium Plan*, can enjoy the European finals alongside unmissable shows and movies."

The Sky HBO max basic with adds is entertainment only, to watch watch the TNT content of HBO Max you need a TNT sport subscription either though Sky which not only gives you access to tnt sport on the HBO max app but also the 4 linner TNT channels on your Sky box. This cost is £34 a month or you can get HBO max TNT sports subscription though directly though HBO max from there web site this is £32 a month and will give you access to TNT sport though the HBO app only.You can not get this option though Sky. If you have TNT sports though Sky you will be able to view the TNT sport content on HBO max app using the same login that you have when you activated HBO basic with ads entertainment m however if you decide to subscribe to HBO max tnt sport direct this will probably involve a seprate login meaning you would have to log in and out for the two services. However reading a futher post here the uafa football final looks like will be a alable to ll HBO max subscribers whether you have TNT sport subscription

@DaveDrizen @majorca65

The upcoming finals are an exception: they are going to be available to customers with even the minimum level of HBO Max.

The current media stories are because this means there's no truly free access: most Sky customers will benefit from the bundling of HBO Max though.

All 3 are available via the lowest HBO tier, regardless of having TNT or not.

BEWARE!

Those who want to watch the game tomight who think that the final is being broadcast via HBO Max, it is NOT. You need the TNT Sports sub, although the header says it's included! Disgraceful and misleading!

@Andy_Hill

If you have the HBO basic package with ads then you will be able to view all 3 European finals.

No according to the agent I've been on with for the last 20 minutes.

SKY1992bf — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:16:45 GMT

@Andy_Hill The agent is talking nonsense it's been confirmed by tnt themselves that they are free to all hbo entertainment tier customers

Re: Misleading UEFA Europa League Final

caesarome — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:16:47 GMT

Whatever the agent told you was wrong (this can and does happen) as we have asked Sky on here via our superuser forum and they can come back after asking another team that you will be able to view the match as per my post.

@Andy_Hill

Unfortunately call centre agents are likely to be relaying the usual information about TNT Sports content rather than the exceptions created specifically for the upcoming finals.

TNT themselves say:

All three European Finals will be available for no extra cost to all HBO Max* subscribers on any Monthly or Saver Plan – starting from Basic with Ads (£4.99/month**) and above.

* TNT Sports available on HBO Max in the UK only

@Andy_Hill see the article below any customer with an entertainment tier only gets access at no additional cost

Guy's the support is appreciated. I have just come off the phone with Sky for the second time; I was connected to 1st billing and then Tech Support. BOTH were adamant that the TNT sub IS required!

No idea what is true now.

@Andy_Hill

I can see where you are coming from but what you have to note is the front line call handlers do not always have the correct information to hand so as we have said above you will be able to view the first of these games this evening.

Re: Misleading UEFA Europa League Final

Andy_Hill — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:33:19 GMT

And just notice this...

SKY1992bf — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:36:28 GMT

@Andy_Hill Here is the critical bit from the article I posted above

"All three European Finals will be available for no extra cost to all HBO Max* subscribers on any Monthly or Saver Plan – starting from Basic with Ads (£4.99/month**) and above."

Re: Misleading UEFA Europa League Final

Andy_Hill — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:42:09 GMT

I get, and I saw that, thank you. But I have no confidence in viewing that this as the platform is already set up correctly.

Re: Misleading UEFA Europa League Final

SKY1992bf — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:46:22 GMT

@Andy_Hill does it say "get access" on all of those match tiles or just some

if just some when the games start click on the ones that don't

Re: Misleading UEFA Europa League Final

Andy_Hill — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:49:15 GMT

Yes.

To be honest, I'm not sure what speaking to a Sky agent would be able to achieve as I wouldn't expect a Sky agent to know what decision that WDB have taken with regards to broadcasting on HBO Max.
