YouTube TV is offering a five-day free preview of HBO Max and Cinemax starting Thursday, September 23rd through Monday, September 27, meaning subscribers can catch up on original shows and hit movies this weekend. The best part is when the preview is over, there is nothing you have to do - you won’t have to remember to cancel.

Live Cinemax and HBO channels will be available in the YouTube TV grid guide, but if you use a “Custom Guide”, you must make sure to go to “Settings” —> “Live Guide” to add them.

While HBO and some HBO Max content is available in the YouTube TV interface, to access all episodes of HBO Max originals and same day theatrical releases you would need access to the HBO Max App, which isn’t available during the free preview.

How to Get 50% OFF HBO Max

If you want to watch HBO Max content including the Sopranos prequel on October 1st, there is an incredible offer running through Sunday, September 26th. For a limited time, you can get six months of HBO Max Ad-Free Plan for just $7.49 a month (50% OFF). In order to do that, you need to sign-up directly from the HBO Max website.

If you want a 7-Day Free Trial of HBO Max App, new customers can get one through your YouTube TV or Hulu Account.

In an email to customers, YouTube TV shared:

Starting Thursday, September 23, you can take a long weekend to explore HBO Max’s long list of noteworthy series, from classics like The Sopranos to brand-new ones like Scenes from a Marriage. And with Cinemax, you get original series like Strike Back, fan favorites like Kill Bill, and everything in between. There’s no action needed on your part. Just watch and record away through Monday, September 27.
