TVFrom July 1, Belgium will have a new streaming service. HBO Max, the platform of studio Warner Bros., will be launched in our country from today. The channel has been available in the Netherlands for a year longer.
On HBO Max you can of course watch the series from the HBO channel, including hits such as ‘Game of Thrones’, the accompanying spin-off ‘House of the Dragon’, ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Sex and the City’. But you can also watch the Paris 2024 Olympic Games live, as the only channel in Belgium that allows this.
HBO Max will give customers the opportunity to get early access to the payment plan they prefer for fourteen days at no cost starting June 11, before the full launch takes place on July 1. During this short start-up period, certain titles will only be available in English and French. From July 1, everything will also be available with Dutch subtitles.
The cheapest subscription is available for €5.99 per month and is called ‘Basic with advertising’. This means, as the name suggests, that you will still see some form of advertising even if you are a paying customer. According to Warner Bros., Telenet customers can get access to the HBO Max app soon after launch.
