Get Access message on HBO Max

DessieB — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:12:43 GMT

I've recently changed over to Sky Q and now have the 'Basic Version' of HBO Max included apparently. However when Ive tried viewing Highlights of The Giro d' Italia, some episodes just give me a message saying "Get Access".

I've completed all the logging in to HBO Max etc but am still being denied access to many episodes?

hi @DessieB

Sports are not included in the either the base or Premium HBO Max Entertainment subscriptions but need the premium TNT Sports subscription.

(Although they do occasionally allow access on the basic tiers to selected sports such as the 3 recent UEFA Finals & previously when on Discovery+ the Winter Olympics)
