B/R Sports on Max: MLB, NBA, and More

What is the B/R Sports Add-On?

The Bleacher Report (B/R) Sports Add-On is a premium sports package for subscribers of Max (formerly HBO Max). It requires a Max base plan and costs an extra $9.99 a month. Excitingly, all Max subscribers get free access to the add-on through the first few months of 2024.

Content-wise, the B/R Sports Add-On unlocks a wide range of live sports—including MLB, NHL, NBA, March Madness, and U.S. Soccer games. Its coverage primarily consists of select events that air on TBS, TNT, and truTV.

How much is the B/R Sports Add-On?

The B/R Sports Add-On costs $9.99 a month. However, the good news is that Max subscribers get it free through the first quarter of 2024.

To access the add-on, you’ll need a base Max subscription—available in different tiers. Max plans range from $9.99 to $19.99 a month. When factoring in the cost of the Max base plan, the B/R Sports Add-On’s total monthly price spans from $19.98 to $29.98 a month.

It’s worth noting that even at the higher end of its price range, the B/R Sports Add-On offers an affordable way to access live sports from TBS, TNT, and truTV. The next cheapest way to get those channels is through Sling TV—starting at $40.00 a month.

Live sports on Max

The B/R Sports Add-On gives Max subscribers an exhilarating lineup of sports—including 300+ live games per year. There’s national MLB, NBA, and NHL coverage and select games from the men’s March Madness tournament. Soccer fans can also watch USMNT and USWNT friendlies and U.S. Soccer competitions like the SheBelieves Cup.

Beyond games, the add-on offers exclusive events like The Match and studio shows like Inside the NBA. Below is a partial list of B/R Sports Add-On programs.

Other ways to watch TBS, TNT, and truTV

Several options exist if you want to access TBS, TNT, and truTV without the B/R Sports Add-On. Most cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services offer the three channels. If you go that route, you’ll get 24/7 coverage from each network—not just sports programming.

The most cost-effective way to enjoy TBS, TNT, and truTV is with Sling TV’s Sling Blue plan. It costs $40.00 a month and has over 35 other channels, so you can enjoy a popular mix of sports and entertainment.

Is the B/R Sports Add-On worth it?

The B/R Sports Add-On provides exceptional value to sports fans who lack access to TBS, TNT, and truTV. However, it’s important to note that non-Max subscribers will need a Max base plan to enjoy the add-on. So, while the add-on costs $9.99 a month (starting later this year), you’ll actually pay at least $19.98 a month when you combine it with a Max base plan.

But don’t let the combined cost deter you. The B/R Sports Add-On offers exclusive live sports content that makes the investment worthwhile—especially compared to other streaming options. In fact, it remains competitively priced, considering that the next most affordable way to access TBS, TNT, and truTV is through Sling TV.
