HBO Max is set to launch in 12 new markets, including Albania, armenia, Cyprus, Estonia, Georgia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and Tajikistan. This expansion brings the streaming service closer to availability in 100 markets, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.

Cycling events, including the Giro d’Italia, La Vuelta a España, Tour de France, and Tour de France Femmes, along with major winter sports events, will also be available.
Like its offerings in other regions, HBO Max will provide two subscription plans: a standard option and a premium tier.
JB Perrette,CEO and president of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery,emphasized the importance of global expansion. “Our continued global expansion of HBO Max is helping fuel the grate momentum we continue to see for the service,” Perrette said.
Perrette added that launches in Germany, Italy, and the U.K. are planned for early next year, following additional market entries later in 2025. This positions HBO Max as a key player in global entertainment, he said.
This expansion comes as Warner Bros. Discovery reported 122.3 million streaming subscribers at the close of the first quarter of 2025, a 5.3 million increase from the previous quarter. However, the company is undergoing a restructuring, dividing into two publicly traded entities due to overall business declines and a debt of nearly $38 billion.
