Where to Watch HBO Content?

Following HBO's departure from Disney Hotstar, there has been widespread speculation regarding alternative means of accessing HBO content in India. While some viewers are resorting to using VPNs and torrents, others are searching for legitimate ways to watch their favourite shows.

At present, HBO Max, the streaming service offered by HBO, is not available in India. Warner Bros Discovery had confirmed in August that the launch of HBO Max in India had been put on hold and that the company was focused on expanding its user base in markets where HBO Max was already available.

Possible Alternatives

According to a report by TechCrunch, Amazon may be one of the likely contenders to broaden a deal with Warner Bros. Amazon has already signed a deal with HBO for streaming rights of some of its content, so it's possible that Amazon could become a major player in the Indian streaming market in the near future.

However, HBO has not officially confirmed how its content will be available in India after its exit from Disney Hotstar. For now, viewers will have to explore alternative options or wait for an official announcement from HBO or its parent company.
