HBO Max is one of the most popular streaming services available. With new movies like “The Batman” and “Dune” and original TV shows like “Westworld” and “House of The Dragon”, it boasts one of the premier content libraries of any streaming service via the HBO Max app.
Amazon Prime Video is becoming a formidable competitor in the battle for top content, as well. “The Boys” is a smash hit, and the upcoming “Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power” figures to be a hype and earnings freight train for Amazon’s streaming service. But many customers are stuck wondering, “Is HBO Max still available on Amazon Prime?”
Customers used to be able to subscribe to HBO Max via a channel on Amazon Prime Video for a reduced price, helping keep subscription costs down. Is HBO Max still on Amazon Prime, and how can fans of both streaming services best enjoy them?
Is HBO Max Still a Channel on Amazon Prime Video?
No, HBO Max left the Amazon Prime Video channels list last year.
When WarneMedia launched HBO Max as a standalone service in November of 2020, they warned customers that the channel would be leaving Prime Video, which it did in August of 2021.
As of now, there is no way to access HBO Max content through Amazon Prime Video, however, new company leadership hinted that the service may return to Prime Video. After all, discovery+ can be added through Prime Video, and the new parent company owns both HBO Max and discovery+. Both services may be available on Prime Video when they merge in the summer of 2023.
