Other ways to watch TBS, TNT, and truTV
Several options exist if you want to access TBS, TNT, and truTV without Max. 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 $45.99/mo. 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?
Max’s B/R Sports hub provides exceptional value for those who want access to live sports from TBS, TNT, and truTV. But there are no longer any plans to offer it as an optional add-on. Instead, you need a Standard or Premium base plan. That means Basic With Ads subscribers, who have enjoyed live sports without an upcharge for over a year, will now need to upgrade their plan to continue watching.
While this change may be disappointing for some, upgrading to the Standard plan ($16.99/mo.) remains more cost-effective than the previously planned $9.99/mo. add-on fee. Plus, Standard and Premium plans offer additional perks like live HBO channels, CNN Max access, and offline downloads.
If you already subscribe to a live TV service that carries TBS, TNT, and truTV, this update may not impact you. But for cord-cutters looking for an affordable way to stream live sports, Max remains a solid option—especially with B/R Sports now bundled into its higher-tier plans. The next most affordable way to access TBS, TNT, and truTV is through Sling TV at $45.99/mo.
