Ads on Max
If you subscribe to the Basic with ads plan, ads will play before and during on-demand shows and movies. When an ad break starts, the number of ads in the ad break appears on screen. There's also a timer that counts down to the end of the ad. Ad breaks are marked on the progress bar when you pause playback.
Live sports and live channels have ads regardless of your plan.
All plans may include content with sponsorship and product placement, which will be identified in accordance with applicable legislation.
To stream on-demand shows and movies without ads, change your plan to the Standard or Premium plan. To skip promotional trailers that play before a show or movie, choose the Skip button. Live sports and live channels have ads regardless of your plan.
