Ads on HBO Max
If you subscribe to an HBO Max subscription plan with ads, ads will play before and during on-demand shows and films. When an ad break starts, the number of ads in the ad break appears on screen. There's also a timer that counts down to the end of the ad. Ad breaks are marked on the progress bar when you pause playback.
Live sports and live channels have ads regardless of your plan.
Besides this, all plans may include content with sponsorship and product placement, which will be identified in accordance with applicable legislation, as well as programme trailers.
Stream without ads
To stream on-demand shows and films without ads, change your plan to the Standard or Premium plan. To skip promotional trailers that play before a show or film, choose the Skip button. Live sports and live channels have ads regardless of your plan.

First, check which subscription plan you have:

and then Subscription.(Only Adult profiles can manage subscriptions.)
Here you'll find your current plan.
If you have the Basic with Ads or Standard with Ads plan, you can change your plan to Standard or Premium to watch shows and films on demand without ads. Live sports and live channels have ads regardless of your plan.
