Ads on HBO Max
If you subscribe to the Basic with Ads plan, ads will play before and during on-demand shows and movies. 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 program trailers.
