HBO Go

HBO Go was an American-based global authenticated video-on-demand streaming service of the pay television network HBO. Launched on February 18, 2010 in the United States, the service allowed subscribers to access HBO's on-demand programming via the HBO website, mobile apps, and digital media players, among other devices, through their television providers. After the launch of HBO Max in May 2020, HBO Go, along with HBO Now, were replaced by the succeeding service in all regions; Vietnam, the last market where HBO Go remained active, replaced the service with HBO Max on June 16, 2026, effectively discontinuing HBO Go. HBO Go was the successor to HBO on Broadband, a service launched in January 2008, exclusively for Time Warner Cable (then a division of HBO parent company Time Warner) customers in Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. HBO on Broadband offered 400 hours of content, including feature films, HBO original movies, specials, and series, at no extra charge for subscribers. Access required both a subscription to HBO and Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner internet service. On February 18, 2010, HBO Go was launched, initially available through Verizon Fios. Within the first week, the application was downloaded over one million times, and by June 2011, it reached three million. At launch, HBO Go was only available on computers through the HBO website. iOS and Android applications were released on April 29, 2011. Over the following years, the service expanded to other providers, including AT&T U-verse, Comcast, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable, DirecTV, Dish Network, Suddenlink Communications, Charter Communications, and virtual MVPD services such as DirecTV Now and Hulu.
