How to cancel Max

Last reviewed About 2–5 minutes

Max (formerly HBO Max) can be canceled through the Max website. After canceling, your subscription stays active through the end of the billing period you paid for, and your watchlist and profile are preserved if you choose to resubscribe later.

If you subscribed through an app store, a cable or TV provider, or Amazon Channels, you will need to cancel through that provider rather than the Max website.

Steps

  1. Sign in to Max

    Go to max.com and sign in with your account credentials.

  2. Open your Account settings

    Click your profile icon or name, then navigate to Account or Plan settings.

  3. Locate your plan details

    Find the section showing your current subscription plan.

  4. Select Cancel Plan

    Look for a Cancel or End Subscription option and click it. Max may present alternative offers before proceeding.

  5. Confirm cancellation

    Complete the confirmation steps. A confirmation email should be sent to your registered address. Access continues through the current billing period.

Things to know

  • If you subscribed through Apple, cancel via Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
  • If you subscribed through Google Play, cancel in the Play Store under Subscriptions.
  • If you access Max through a cable or satellite provider, contact that provider to cancel.
  • Amazon Channels subscribers must cancel through their Amazon account under Memberships & Subscriptions.
