CANAL+ and Warner Bros. Discovery have signed a new multi-year and multi-territory agreement on an international scale across Africa and Europe.
This expanded agreement covers both the distribution of HBO Max and the renewal of several Warner Bros. Discovery thematic channels across numerous regions in Africa and Europe.
It builds on the landmark agreements concluded in France in 2024 – including the renewal of the exclusive pay-TV window for Warner Bros. Pictures films just six months after their theatrical release in France, and the integration of HBO Max within select CANAL+ group offers – as well as in Poland in 2025 – with the renewal of the distribution agreement for 22 thematic channels (including TVN 24 and Eurosport) and 4 free-to-air channels (including TVN).
A Strengthened Partnership Across MultiChoice Group Territories
The agreement includes the renewal of the distribution of 12 Warner Bros. Discovery thematic channels across MultiChoice Group territories, with some offered exclusively. The channels concerned are:
- CNN International and Cartoon Network – exclusively in South Africa, and non-exclusively in other territories.
- Cartoon Network Porto – exclusively in Angola and Mozambique, and non-exclusively in other territories.
- Cartoonito, Cartoonito Porto, Discovery Channel, Discovery Family, Real Time, ID, TLC, HGTV, Travel, TNT Africa, Food Network – non-exclusive.
This agreement enables CANAL+ group to strengthen its entertainment, kids, news, and documentary channel offering in African markets.
A Consolidated and Expanded Partnership in Europe
The partnership between CANAL+ and Warner Bros. Discovery is also being extended and strengthened in Europe through several strategic renewals and expansions:
- Renewal of Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, and CNN International in Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
- Renewal of Warner TV in the Czech Republic.
- Renewal of HBO Max, HBO, and Cinemax in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.
- Expansion of HBO Max distribution via Canal+ to two new key territories: Belgium, and Austria.
This agreement enhances access for CANAL+ group subscribers to Warner Bros. Discovery’s iconic content, via HBO Max and select channels, including premium series and films that contribute to the studio’s international reach.
