Go to hbomax.com/subscription, or in the app choose your profile and then Subscription. Your biller appears at the top of the screen. You can also check your bank statement.

As of 2026 the service is called HBO Max, operated by WarnerMedia. It was briefly rebranded as Max before returning to the HBO Max name.

How to Cancel HBO Max (2026 Guide)

Here's how to cancel HBO Max in 2026. The whole game is knowing who bills you — HBO Max sells through more than a dozen partners, and each one handles its own cancellations. Find your biller first (one minute), then cancel with them (two more).

Quick answer

Go to hbomax.com/subscription and sign in — your biller is shown at the top.
Billed through WarnerMedia? Choose Cancel Your Subscription and confirm.
Billed through Apple? Settings → your name → Subscriptions → HBO Max → Cancel Subscription.
Billed through Google? Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → HBO Max → Cancel subscription.
Note your expiration date — you stream until the billing period ends.

Cancel HBO Max on the web

Step one for everyone; the full cancel path if HBO Max (WarnerMedia) bills you directly.

Go to hbomax.com/subscription and sign in. (In the app: choose your profile, then Subscription. On a TV: Settings icon → Subscription.)
Check the top of the screen to see who bills you. If it's not WarnerMedia, jump to the matching section below.
Choose Cancel Your Subscription.
Confirm and note your expiration date.

Deleting the HBO Max app does not cancel anything — the subscription auto-renews until you cancel with your biller.

Cancel HBO Max on iPhone/iPad

If Apple bills you:

Open the Settings app and choose your name.
Choose Subscriptions (sign in with your Apple ID if prompted).
Choose HBO Max, then Cancel Subscription. Apple emails a confirmation.

Cancel HBO Max on Android

If Google Play bills you:

Open the Play Store app and choose your profile icon (top right).
Choose Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
Choose HBO Max, then Cancel subscription. Google emails a confirmation.

Cancel through other providers

HBO Max also bills through Amazon (turn off auto-renewal at amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions), Roku (my.roku.com/subscriptions → Manage subscription → turn off auto-renew), Prime Video Channels (Cancel Channel under Your Channels), Hulu add-ons (Manage Add-ons on hulu.com/account), YouTube Primetime Channels (Deactivate under paid memberships), Samsung, Xumo, and cable or mobile providers like Spectrum, Verizon, Xfinity, DIRECTV, and AT&T — each cancelled in that provider's own account settings.

Before you cancel

You stream until expiration: cancelling stops auto-renewal, and access continues to the end of the billing period you've paid for.

Extra Member Add-On: it ends when your base plan expires, and HBO Max gives a prorated refund for any remaining days on the add-on.

Name check: the service is called HBO Max again in 2026 — if you're hunting your bank statement for "Max," look for HBO Max or WarnerMedia.

Keep the confirmation email: whichever biller processes it — Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, Samsung, or Xumo — you should get an email confirming the cancellation. If no email shows up, treat the cancellation as not done and check the subscription page again.

Then watch your statement: with this many possible billers, HBO Max charges are prime candidates for gray charges — recurring fees that keep billing because the cancellation happened in the wrong place. One more statement check the following month confirms you actually stopped the recurring charges rather than just deleting an app icon. If you've bounced between billers over the years — say, from a cable bundle to direct billing — double-check that the old subscription actually ended when the new one began; overlapping billers are exactly how double charges hide in plain sight.
