Warner Bros. Discovery said Tuesday that Max will stream live sports on its service through the Bleacher Report Sports Add-On tier.

The package will include live matches from MLB, NHL, NBA, US Soccer, NCAA March Madness tournament and more.
The Bleacher Report Sports Add-On is the latest example of the growing importance of live sports in streaming. Apple TV has had huge success with its MLS package, thanks to the arrival of Lionel Messi at Inter Miami CF, while Amazon broadcasts “Thursday Night Football” matches and YouTube TV now offers the Sunday Ticket of the NFL. Warner Bros. The October 5 launch date is two days before the National League Division Series and precedes the start of the NBA and NHL seasons.
Max is looking for its huge range of sports to give it an edge over other streaming services. The company is firmly entrenched in the lower tier of streaming services, as opposed to staples like Netflix, and needs something to stand out. Sports and live news are the company’s biggest bets.
“We want to be everywhere sports fans are and our unmatched offering of top sports, combined with the power of Bleacher Report’s brand and content, including the unique way B/R engages with young sports fans, all offered via the new Max platform. allow us to expand our audience and delight new fans,” said Luis Silberwasser, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports.

Max will also offer pre- and post-game programming around the events, as well as a VOD library of sports documentaries, drawn from its HBO Sports and WBD Sports catalog. The level will also include live videos and other content
The free window features many big events, from the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament to the NHL Winter Classic. But you’ll have to start paying if you want to see March Madness and the NBA and NHL playoffs on Max.
Discovery CEO David Zaslav teased the service at an investor conference earlier this month.
