Sports Add-On Q&A
When you subscribe to HBO Max you'll choose a base subscription plan and the optional Sports Add-On.
If you already have a base subscription, there are 2 ways to add Sports:
In HBO Max, do one of the following:
Phone, tablet, or computer: Choose your profile and then Subscription.
TV device: Choose the Settings icon
and then Subscription.(Only Adult profiles can manage subscriptions.)
Choose Get Add-Ons.
Follow the on-screen instructions to add the Sports Add-On.
If you get an error message, go to Troubleshooting.
Confirm the change and add your payment information.
When you add the Sports Add-On to your base plan, you'll be billed monthly until you remove the Sports Add-On or cancel your base subscription plan.
If you purchase a base plan and the Sports Add-On at HBOMax.com on the same day, they will be combined into a single transaction. If you purchase a base plan and the Sports Add-On on different days, the add-on is billed separately and appears on your bank statement as WBDSports.
You can view your payment receipts at HBOMax.com/subscription. For more info, go to How do I get a payment receipt?
