A Step-by-Step Guide to HBO Max: Here’s What to Watch & How to Get the Streaming Service for Free

HBO Max is a popular streaming service filled with TV shows, movies, documentaries, comedy, music, and sports content. However, it no longer offers a free trial.

To try HBO Max for free, one option is through DirecTV. DirecTV offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers if they sign up for its "Premier" package. This package costs $129.99 for the first month and $169.99 per month afterward. In addition to HBO Max, the package includes over 185 channels like NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, and more. It also offers unlimited DVR storage and the ability to stream on three devices at once. After the five days, users will be charged the subscription price based on their chosen package.

Another way to try HBO Max for free is through Prime Video. HBO Max is available as an add-on channel for Prime Video for a seven-day free trial. However, Prime Video is only accessible to those who are already members of Amazon Prime. Signing up for Prime provides access to Prime Video, Prime Gaming, Amazon Photos, fast free shipping, in-store discounts, exclusive shopping events, and other perks. A 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime is available for those who are not already members.
