House of the Dragon episode 3's release date is fast approaching. The next installment in the hit fantasy show will be with us on Sunday, September 4 – but we suspect you will want to know the exact time that it'll arrive on your platform of choice.

Below, we'll explain when the Game of Thrones prequel series will be available to watch on HBO Max. Well, for those who live in territories where HBO's streaming service exists, anyway. Viewers who live in world regions where HBO Max isn't available, though, shouldn't worry, as we'll reveal where and when you can catch House of the Dragon's next episode in your nation.

Additionally, you'll find a complete breakdown of when every House of the Dragon episode will be available to watch. Make sure you bookmark this page, then, so you can see when episodes four through 10 will be made available on HBO Max and elsewhere. After all, you'll need to fit your viewings in around another epic fantasy series – The Rings of Power, Amazon's Lord of the Rings series that just launched on Prime Video – from now on.

Here, then, is when House of the Dragon episode 3 will roar its way onto HBO Max.

House of the Dragon episode 2 will be released on HBO Max on Sunday, September 4 at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT.

For those keeping track, that's the same time as the previous two episodes were released. However, audiences who live in territories outside of Eastern and Pacific time zones won't be able to stream it on that date or at that time. So, when can you?
