Cancel HBO Max in 3 steps

  1. Sign in at HBOMax.com/subscription, or open the Subscription section in the app.
  2. Check the billing provider shown at the top of the screen.
  3. If HBO Max bills you, choose the cancel option and confirm. Note your expiration date.

Apple, Google Play, Roku, Samsung, Amazon and other providers each have their own cancellation path, so the first thing to find out is who bills you.

What happens after you cancel

  • You can stream until your subscription expires at the end of the billing period.
  • Deleting the app does not cancel anything.
  • Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. Some providers require this, and it varies by billing provider.
  • Cancelling your base subscription also cancels your add-ons, and you get a prorated refund for the remaining days on the add-on.
  • Changed your mind? Go back to Subscription and choose Resume Your Subscription.

Pay through an app store or a phone company?

Billed by Apple? Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel there. You should get an email from Apple confirming it. Other providers have their own steps.

If HBO Max is billed by Google Play: open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, choose HBO Max and tap Cancel subscription. Google: cancel, pause or change a subscription on Google Play.

If it is billed by Apple: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose HBO Max and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple: cancel a subscription from Apple.

A tip before you cancel
