MAX Sport Bulgaria Review: Verdict, Cost & Sports Coverage
WhereSports Editorial Desk • Audited October 2026
The Verdict
Our Verdict: MAX Sport Plus is one of the two must-have sports TV packages in Bulgaria, giving you four HD channels (MAX Sport 1, 2, 3, and 4) loaded with Tuesday night UEFA Champions League matches, Serie A, LaLiga, ATP Tour tennis (including Grigor Dimitrov's tournaments), MotoGP, UFC, NHL, and EuroLeague basketball. Across A1, Vivacom EON, and Yettel, it costs €5.11/month (9.99 BGN/month) on a 24-month contract or €7.15/month (13.99 BGN/month) with no contract, and you can also subscribe online at maxsport.live without a TV box. Before you pay, check your mobile or TV app first: many A1 Unlimited plans (via free 'Select' slots) and Vivacom EON Premium bundles already include MAX Sport Plus for €0.00. Just remember that Wednesday Champions League games air on bTV Action/RING, while the Premier League, Formula 1, and Bulgarian efbet Liga require the rival Diema Xtra package.
Best For
- Fans following live games across CEV Champions League, Champions Hockey League, Chile Primera Division, EuroCup Basketball.
- Viewers watching live coverage in our Soccer, Basketball, Motorsports TV schedule hubs.
- Bulgarian football fans who follow Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter, AC Milan, and Juventus in LaLiga, Serie A, and Tuesday UEFA Champions League nights
- Tennis fans who want to watch Grigor Dimitrov live across every ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP Finals tournament
- Motorsport, combat sports, and basketball fans following MotoGP, UFC, NHL, and EuroLeague (including Partizan, Crvena Zvezda, Olympiacos, and Panathinaikos)
- A1 Mobile and Vivacom EON customers who can activate MAX Sport Plus for €0.00 using their included plan perks
Pricing Reality
Whether you pay in Euros or Leva, MAX Sport Plus is very affordable at €5.11 to €7.15/month (9.99 to 13.99 BGN/month), and thousands of Bulgarian households can actually unlock it for free.
- Check Your Free 'Select' Slots in the My A1 App First (€0.00 Trick): Never pay €5.11 or €7.15/month for MAX Sport Plus before opening the My A1 (Моят А1) app on your phone. Most A1 Unlimited mobile plans and A1 Xplore TV bundles include free digital 'Select' slots where you can turn on MAX Sport Plus for €0.00/month.
- Free Inside Vivacom EON Premium & Yettel 3-Month Promo: If you use Vivacom, MAX Sport Plus is already included for €0.00 inside the EON Premium (TV XL+) package and select Unlimited mobile plans. On Yettel TV, signing a 24-month add-on contract regularly gives you the first 3 months for €0.00 before billing €5.11/month (9.99 BGN/month).
- Watch Wednesday Champions League Games for Free on bTV Action: Do not panic on Wednesday nights when you cannot find the Champions League on MAX Sport 3. MAX Sport only holds Tuesday Champions League rights; Wednesday headline matches air for free on bTV Action (which is included in almost every basic Bulgarian TV plan).
- Contract (€5.11 / 9.99 BGN) vs. No Contract (€7.15 / 13.99 BGN): If you only want MAX Sport Plus for a couple of months during the Champions League knockout stages or a big UFC card, pick the no-contract monthly option (€7.15 / 13.99 BGN/month) or buy a single-event ticket on ppv.maxsport.live instead of locking into a 24-month operator contract.

- Simultaneous Streams: Up to 2 concurrent streams per account (depending on tier).
