HBO Shows to Drop Early Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday: Here’s the Schedule

HBO Max will stream episodes early to avoid Super Bowl ratings conflict; episodes still air Sunday on HBO at usual times, with the game airing on NBC and Peacock.

  • On Friday, Feb. 6, HBO Max will premiere Industry Season 4 Episode 5 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 4 at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET, while HBO will air them Sunday, Feb. 8 at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET.
  • To avoid Super Bowl Sunday, HBO moved up next week’s episodes of Industry and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO Max, a common strategy before major live events.
  • Episode four, titled 'Seven', will arrive earlier than planned, and Industry is midway through its eight-episode Season 4 that debuted January 11.
  • The move aims to protect audience reach and engagement by avoiding a brutal clash with the Super Bowl, giving streaming viewers early access and easing pressure on linear viewers.
  • The series was renewed for a second season earlier this month, with Episode 4 expected to launch early on some platforms, but Sky confirmed it will drop at 8:01 a.m. GMT on February 8.
