As Forbes Ukraine reports, HBO Max is now officially and directly available in Ukraine. The library includes new and classic films and series from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, Max Originals and Discovery. You can watch in the application, in the browser, on smartphones and Smart TVs. Videos can be downloaded for offline viewing. The interface is in Ukrainian, most of the materials have Ukrainian subtitles and dubbing.
Payment by bank cards or via PayPal. As for Megogo, the partnership has not been canceled: the «Maximum» subscription (449 UAH/month) in Megogo continues to open the same catalog as the direct HBO Max in Ukraine. The difference is in the method of managing the subscription and the convenience of the platform.
Among the well-known titles available through subscriptions: «Minecraft: The Movie», the «Harry Potter» series, the series «The Last of Us», «House of the Dragon», «Penguin». Discovery projects are also available — documentary series, reality shows and shows. Separate profiles, parental controls and download limits are useful for families.
Direct access means faster premieres within the Warner Bros. Discovery ecosystem, less dependence on intermediaries, and transparent terms in hryvnias. «Premium» is suitable for owners of large 4K TVs, and «Standard» for those who watch from a laptop or phone. Offline viewing is convenient on the go or with unstable internet.
In 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery announced the expansion of HBO Max to new markets in Europe and the Caucasus and stated plans to acquire Ukrainian-produced content if it has the potential to «travel» outside the country. For local studios, this is an additional window of opportunity, and for viewers, more premieres and familiar universes in one service, which now operates directly in Ukraine.
Previously, dev.ua wrote about how the largest Ukrainian media service Megogo signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to show HBO and MAX series, and also acquired the rights to dub films and series that do not have Ukrainian translation.
