Live sports are coming to Max.
Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Max will add a live sports tier on October 5. The new tier will be called the Bleacher Report Sports Add-On (or B/R Sports) and be available for $10 per month on top of Max's subscription fee.
There is a free promotional period that runs through October.
WBD Sports has rights to MLB, NBA and NHL games (including the playoffs and events like the NHL Winter Classic), as well as NCAA March Madness basketball, U.S. National Team soccer, and WBD’s own golf brand The Match.
All Elite Wrestling was not mentioned. Sports Business Journal notes, "Currently, AEW will not be part of the Bleacher Report Sports Add-On tier."
AEW and WBD are partners with AEW programming airing on TBS and TNT. AEW PPV events air on Bleacher Report.
AEW President Tony Khan has made it no secret that he wants to have the AEW library on Max. The only AEW content on Max is currently AEW All Access.
Fightful will update fans on plans for Max and live sports when they are known.
