Everything you need to know about canceling HBO Max
How to cancel HBO Max
- Click here to head to your Max account.
- Find your profile avatar at the top of the screen.
- Click “Subscription” in the drop-down menu.
- Choose “Cancel Your Subscription.”
Will you lose access immediately if you cancel?
You will still be able to log into HBO Max and use your subscription until the end of your current billing cycle when you cancel a Max account. Refer to your monthly bill or subscription settings to see when your billing cycle ends.
Will HBO Max save your account if you want to resubscribe?
Yes! If you set up your new account using the same data as your previous one, HBO Max will keep your profiles, My List, and watch history settings intact. That way, you’ll be able to jump back in right where you left off and get back to watching your favorites faster.
What alternatives should you try when leaving HBO Max?
Once you’re done with HBO Max, you should definitely consider a subscription to Netflix. It has all the basic offerings HBO Max carries: movies, original TV shows, well-known prestige TV titles like “Stranger Things,” library titles to lean back and watch like “Seinfeld,” and even mobile games. It offers the same types of content HBO Max does, only more of them in most cases, and it costs less at $8 per month for ad-supported service.
If you were mainly subscribed to HBO Max to watch prestige TV from HBO, you should consider looking into AMC+. This streamer hits above its weight with titles like “Interview with the Vampire” and “Dark Winds,” and like Max you can stream content from multiple brands on AMC+, including Shudder, IFC Films Unlimited, Sundance, and more. Plus, a subscription will only run you $7 per month for an ad plan.
